RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2007-02956
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His date of rank (DOR) be changed to 30 Jul 02, rather than 1 Oct 02.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was already promoted to major when he was assigned to the 313th Flight
Test Flight. His commander inquired about accelerating his promotion and
was erroneously informed that it was not possible. As a result, he was not
promoted until the next fiscal year.
In support of his application, he submitted a recommendation from his
commander, a copy of his AF Form 1288, Application for Ready Reserve
Assignment, and AF Form 4007, Request and Authorization of Reassignment
Orders.
Applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant is currently serving in the Air Force Reserves in the grade
of major.
He was considered and selected for promotion to major by the Fiscal Year
2003 (FY03) Line and Health Professions Major (SelRes) Promotion Selection
Board, which convened February 2002. The results were released in April
2002.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
ARPC/DPB recommends the requested relief be denied. DPB states the
applicant was assigned to the 313th Flight Test Flight on 2 Aug 02. The
assignment orders he submitted reflects his EDCSA (estimate date change in
strength accountability) is 2 Aug 02.
His duty qualification history brief reflects his date of assignment as 2
Aug 02.
Although his current commander supports accelerating his promotion under
Air Force Instruction (AFI) 36-2504, Promotion, Continuation and Selective
Early Removal in the Reserves of the Air Force, paragraph 6.5; his senior
rater has not, as required by the AFI, endorsed the change. His current
chain of command is not the chain of command that existed in 2002. His
previous rater has not provided any statements indicating they were given
bad advice concerning accelerated promotion or that they believed the
applicant was deserving of a promotion in August 2002.
The complete ARPC/DPB evaluation is at Exhibit B.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 12 Oct
07 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 timely filed.
3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the
existence of an error or an injustice. Applicant’s contentions are duly
noted; however, we agree with the opinion and recommendation of the Air
Force and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion that the
applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice. No
documentation has been provided by the applicant’s previous command to
indicate that they are in support of his request; or that they were given
erroneous information regarding accelerated promotion. 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.

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.
