On 27 Apr 05, he was permanently retired for disability with a
disability rating of 60%. Special Order ACD-00503, prepared on
4 Apr 05, reflects he was credited with a total of 9 years,
5 months, and 5 days of active service for retirement. He
completed 23 years, 9 months, and 16 days of service for basic pay,
which included 17 years of satisfactory federal service.
___________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ AFRC/DPM reviewed this application and recommended denial,
stating, in part, applicant states he completed all requirements
for promotion to include over 17 years of satisfactory service and
should have been promoted to the rank of TSgt under the Extended
Promotion Program (EPP).
Air Reserve enlisted personnel who have 16 years of satisfactory
service for retirement and are blocked for promotion under the unit
vacancy promotion program may be considered for promotion to TSgt,
IAW AFI 36-2502, Airman Promotion Program, based on EPP. Enlisted
personnel must be blocked from promotion, meet eligibility criteria
outlined in AFI 36-2502, Table 4.2, be recommended by the
supervisor and approved by the unit commander (promotion
authority). It is solely the duty of the unit commander to render
the decision to promote an individual based on personnel meeting
eligibility requirements as of the last day of the month prior to
the promotion month. There is no evidence to support the
applicant’s claim that he should be grandfathered/promoted to the
rank of TSgt under EPP.
A complete copy of the evaluation is at Exhibit C.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant
on 9 Dec 05 for review and comment within 30 days. As of this
date, no response has been received by this office (Exhibit D).
___________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing
law or regulations.
2. The application was timely filed.
3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to
demonstrate the existence of error or injustice. We took notice of
the applicant's complete submission in judging the merits of the
case. No evidence has been submitted to substantiate his claim
that he met the eligibility requirements for promotion under the
Extended Promotion Program, in accordance with AFI 36-2502. We
therefore agree with the opinion and recommendation of the Air
Force office of primary responsibility and adopt their rationale as
the basis for our conclusion that the applicant has not been the
victim of an error or injustice. In view of the above, 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.

He states that at the time he was considered for promotion to MSgt, he had more than 12 months left until retirement. Counsel opines that based on the stipulations in AFI 36-2502 and AFRC 36-2102, the Air Force could have, and should have, granted the applicant the promotion to master sergeant (MSgt). The waiver was denied because the applicant would have only been able to perform duty as a MSgt for 10 months before reaching his mandatory retirement at High Year of Tenure Date of 20 Mar 07.
