RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2004-01777
INDEX CODE: 131.00
COUNSEL: NONE
XXXXXXX HEARING DESIRED: NO
___________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His records be corrected to reflect his date of rank (DOR) to the
grade of captain was 1954 rather than 1955.
His date of rank for the grade of major be effective the date of
the 1962 cycle.
He be promoted to the permanent rank of lieutenant colonel
effective the date of the 1966 promotion cycle and he be retired in
that grade as of 1 October 1967.
___________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His career was damaged beyond repair while undergoing B-29 combat
crew training during the first lieutenant to captain promotion
cycle of 1954. He was in the permanent change of station
(PCS)/Pipeline status during training. His records were forwarded
to his new assignment, who had the responsibility of sending his
records to the promotion board for consideration, they failed to do
so.
At a reunion in May 2003, he was informed by classmates who were
similarly situated that following an investigation by the Inspector
General (HQ USAF/IG), they were promoted to captain with the
adjusted date of rank.
Applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.
___________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the US Naval Reserve on 8 Jan 44 and was
discharged on 1 Jun 47. He enlisted in the US Air Force on
26 Mar 49 and served until his commission on 11 May 50. He entered
active duty in the grade of second lieutenant on 12 May 50. He was
promoted to the temporary grade of first lieutenant (USAF) on
29 Nov 51; to the permanent grade of first lieutenant (USAFR) on
17 Jun 53. His promotion to the temporary grade of captain (USAF)
was effective 12 Oct 55; and permanent grade of captain (USAFR) on
10 Feb 56. Applicant was promoted to the permanent grade of major
(USAFR) on 12 May 64.
He retired in the grade of major on 1 Oct 67. His highest grade
held on active duty was captain.
___________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ AFPC/DPPPO reviewed this application and recommended denial.
Applicant met the CY63 Temporary Major Promotion Board and was
nonselected. He was promoted to the grade of major on 12 May 64
and retired in the highest grade held, major.
He has not provided any evidence to support his contention that he
should have been promoted by the 1954 captain cycle. They believe
the applicant met the eligibility criteria for promotion, however,
there is no documentation available to show whether he met the
board and was nonselected, whether he was overlooked, or he was
found not yet qualified for promotion. In addition, promotion to
captain was not automatic, i.e., approximately 12,450 first
lieutenants were eligible for promotion to captain and only 5,100
were promoted.
A complete copy of the evaluation is at Exhibit C.
___________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
Applicant reiterated his original contentions and disagrees in part
with the evaluation. He believes because he did not receive
notification of his nonselection for promotion to captain, during
the 1954 captain’s cycle, proves to be the best evidence he was
overlooked and not considered for promotion for that board.
Applicant’s complete response, with attachments, is at Exhibit E.
___________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing
law or regulations.
2. The application was not timely filed; however, it is in the
interest of justice to excuse the failure to timely file.
3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to
demonstrate the existence of error or injustice. After a thorough
review of the evidence of record and applicant's complete
submission, we are not persuaded that his assertions, in and by
themselves, are sufficiently persuasive to override the rationale
provided by the Air Force. The appropriate Air Force office has
addressed the issues presented by the applicant and we are in
agreement with its opinion and recommendation. Therefore, we adopt
the rationale expressed as the basis for our decision that the
applicant has failed to sustain his burden of having suffered
either an error or injustice. In the absence of persuasive
evidence to the contrary, we find no compelling basis to recommend
granting the relief sought in this application.
___________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; that the
application was denied without a personal appearance; and that the
application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of newly
discovered relevant evidence not considered with this application.
