RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2005-01071
INDEX CODE: 131.01, 107.00
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX COUNSEL: NONE
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX HEARING DESIRED: NO
MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE: 31 AUG 2006
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
He be considered for promotion to the grade of major by Special
Selection Board (SSB) for the FY00 Line and NonLine Major Promotion
Board.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He should have met the FY00 major promotion board and believes he
would have been selected for promotion by that board. His unit
informed him that his record would not meet the FY00 Board since he
had not been in the Air Force Reserves for one year.
Applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant currently serves in the Air Force Reserves in the grade
of major. Applicant was considered and not selected for promotion to
the grade of major by the FY01 Line and NonLine Majors Promotion Board
that convened in March 2000.
He was considered and selected for promotion to the grade of major by
the FY02 Line and NonLine Majors Promotion Board that convened in
February 2001. His date of rank (DOR) is 1 October 2001.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
ARPC/DPB recommends denial. DPB states the applicant’s DOR to captain
combined with his total years service date, which are both factors in
establishing eligibility for Reserve promotion between 1997 and 2001,
set his in-the-promotion (IPZ) eligibility at the FY01 Line and
NonLine Promotion Board.
DPB states based on superficial examination of the applicant’s record,
the major contributing factor to selection APZ versus IPZ was the
completion of Squadron Officer’s School. While this is not a pass or
fail factor in promotion, it always has been a significant
discriminator.
He was also not eligible for a position vacancy (PV) nomination. He
transferred to the Selective Reserves from active duty on 2 September
1998. At that time, an officer on the Reserve active status list
(RASL) was required to spend at least one full year in the Selected
Reserve prior to eligibility and nomination for PV. One full year in
the SelRes established his first possible PV board as March 2000.
However, as he was IPZ eligible, he was not eligible for PV, because
an officer cannot meet both an IPZ and PV board at the same time.
The DPB complete evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit C.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on
22 April 05, for review and comment within 30 days. As of this date,
this office has received no response.
_________________________________________________________________
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 an error or injustice. We took notice of the
applicant’s complete submission in judging the merits of the case.
However, the Board is not persuaded that he was denied an opportunity
to compete for promotion. The Air Force has indicated that based on
the applicant’s DOR to captain, combined with his total years service,
he was eligible for Reserve promotion to the grade of major beginning
with the FY01 Line and NonLine Majors Promotion Board. Consequently,
he was not eligible to meet the FY00 promotion Board. Therefore, the
Board agrees with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force
office of primary responsibility and adopts its rationale as the basis
for our conclusion that the applicant has not been the victim of an
error or injustice. In the absence of persuasive evidence to the
contrary, the Board finds 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.

If not selected for promotion to the grade of major, he be considered for continuation until the completion of 20 years of service.

The applicant was notified by letter, 7 January 1999, that SSB consideration had been granted for the FY99 Line and Nonline Major Promotion Board (2 March 1998).

All officers selected for promotion by this board were promoted no earlier than this date, unless a request for accelerated promotion was received from the senior rater. The applicant provides another memo from the commander to the senior rater, also dated 20 Jul 04, requesting the applicant be given an accelerated promotion to major with a DOR of 15 Apr 04 (Exhibit A). The 2 Jun 04 DOR was not authorized because the FY04 board did not select the applicant.
