RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2006-00200
INDEX CODE: 100.00
XXXXXXX COUNSEL: NONE
XXXXXXX HEARING DESIRED: NO
MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE: 31 July 2007
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
He be considered for promotion to the grade of lieutenant colonel.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
Although he qualified for promotion to the grade of lieutenant colonel,
while serving in the active reserve, his rank of major was “temporarily
frozen”. No notice of the lifting of the “freeze” was ever given.
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant was selected for promotion by the Fiscal Year 1963 (FY 63) Major
Promotion Board, with a Promotion Service Date (PSD) of 1 July 1962. He
was assigned to the Inactive Status List Reserve Section (ISLRS) on 21
September 1966 and to the Retired Reserve on 1 July 1968.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
ARPC/DPB recommends the application be denied and states, in part, that
promotions were never “frozen,” or held back at any time after the
implementation of the Reserve Officer Promotion Act (ROPA). Applicant was
never eligible for promotion to lieutenant colonel. Based on his PSD to
major, his first eligibility for promotion consideration to lieutenant
colonel was by the FY 70 Lt Col Board; however, he had already been retired
for seven months and was ineligible for consideration.
The ARPC/DPB evaluation, with attachment, is at Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A few months of missing active duty service stands in the way of his
promotion. The Board should consider that his is 81 years old, the cost to
the government cannot be too severe, four member’s of his family have
served their country, his brother is a former Prisoner-of-War (POW), and he
is the father to seven son’s who are subject to recall.
Applicant’s complete response 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. We took notice of the applicant's
complete submission in judging the merits of the case; however, we agree
with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force office of primary
responsibility and adopt it’s rationale as the basis for our conclusion
that the applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice.
Therefore, in the absence of 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.
