RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2007-01330
INDEX CODE: 131.05
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE: 1 NOVEMBER 2008
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His Date of Rank (DOR) to the grade of master sergeant (E-7) be changed
from 1 Apr 07 to 1 Jan 07.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His unit failed to properly process a change of assignment moving him to an
E-7 billet. The request was started by his unit on 20 Dec 06, and the
process was not completed by the Assignments section at ARPC until 28 Mar
07. The lapse in processing the assignment change caused him to miss up to
three promotion opportunities.
His unit had intended to promote him on 1 Jan 07 as a result of his
selection as IMA NCO of the Year for Air Force Reserve Intelligence.
In support of his request, applicant provided his personal statement, an
internal move assignment sheet, SURF, and a printout from RMVS.
The applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant is currently serving in the Air Force Reserve. He was promoted
to the grade of E-7, with an effective date and date of rank (DOR) of 1 Apr
07.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ ARPC/DPB recommends the application be denied and states 1 Apr 07 is the
earliest DOR for which the applicant qualifies. His name was added to the
Mar 07 eligibility roster after the suspense date (he actually met the
eligibility requirements for a 1 May 07 DOR because the nomination was
received after the suspense date). He did not meet all the eligibility
requirements (fill a higher graded position and be nominated by his
supervisor) until the cutoff date (20 Mar 07) for a 1 Apr 07 DOR.
Backdating the assignment action does not make the applicant eligible for
promotion any earlier than he was promoted. He was not placed in the
position or nominated for promotion until the final actions of 27 Mar 07.
HQ ARPC/DPB sent the Jan 07 promotion eligibility roster to the Program
Managers (PM) during the first week of Nov 06 with a suspense date of 20
Dec 06 for promotions effective 1 Jan 07. The applicant states his unit of
assignment started paperwork to reassign him to a higher graded position on
20 Dec 06; however, the reassignment request had to be forwarded to the
MAJCOM PM (Detachment 6 [Det6]) for coordination/approval. He was not
nominated for the promotion on the Jan 07 roster.
On 23 Mar 07, Det 6 PM requested HQ ARPC/DPAAB reassign the applicant from
his current position to a higher graded position. The PM also requested a
backdated Effective Date of Change of Strength Accountability (EDCSA) to 1
Jan 07 because the member was “pending promotion.” On 27 Mar 07,
ARPC/DPAAB updated MilPDS to reflect the new position number, with an EDCSA
of 1 Jan 07. Although past the normal suspense date, his name was placed
on the Mar 07 promotion eligibility roster, to get the required
recommendation for promotion by his supervisor. His supervisor’s
recommendation was received at ARPC on 27 Mar.
The ARPC/DPB complete evaluation, with attachments is at Exhibit B.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 8 Jun
07 for review and comment within 30 days. To date, a response has not been
received.
_________________________________________________________________
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. However, we agree
with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force office of primary
responsibility and adopt the rationale expressed 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.

DPB states, the applicant did not meet the requirement of occupying the nominated position on the PRF submission date, or before the board convened. In reference to #3(b), the letter states the PRF submission was 9 Dec 11. After thoroughly reviewing the evidence of record and the applicant’s complete submission, we do not find the evidence presented sufficiently persuasive to recommend Special Board consideration.
