RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2008-00351
INDEX CODE: 131.00
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
1. His Regular Air Force promotion to Lieutenant Colonel (Lt Col) be
reconsidered by a USAF Reserve supplemental board (U0508A).
2. His promotion date to Lt Col be backdated to 2 Aug 07, if
selected.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was selected for promotion to the grade of Lt Col while serving on
active duty by the Lt Col Central Selection Board (P0506C). However, he
moved to an Air Force Reserve (AFR) position approximately one month prior
to the board results being released. Due to clerical errors, he was not
included in the June AFR promotion board.
He would like his Promotion Effective Date (PED) and Date of Rank (DOR)
changed to 2 Aug 07 to coincide with the release of Promotion Vacancy Board
ARPCM 07-11.
In support of the application, he submits a support letter from his
commander, an AF IMT 709, Promotion Recommendation, and electronic mail
traffic messages.
His complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant was considered and selected for promotion in the Regular Air
Force to the grade of Lt Col on 28 Nov 06. He was assigned line number 603
and would have been promoted to the rank of Lt Col effective and with a
date of rank of 1 Feb 08.
He transferred into an Active Guard Reserve (AGR) positionwith the AFR on 2
Feb 07 and is currently serving in the grade of major with a date of rank
of 1 Feb 03.
The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application, extracted from
the applicant’s military records, are contained in the letter prepared by
the appropriate office of the Air Force at Exhibit B.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ ARPC/DPB recommends denial of the applicant's request for appeal board
in lieu of consideration by the FY08 Lt Col Position Vacancy (PV) promotion
board; however, they recommend adjusting his date of separation from active
duty to 28 Feb 07, allowing his active duty promotion to transfer to the
USAFR.
DPB states the applicant has not provided any indication that his senior
rater supports and desires him to have been considered for promotion by the
FY08 board. In addition, there is no memo from the senior rater indicating
why he was not nominated in time to meet the FY08 board. Consideration by
the PV board is only by nomination of the senior rater; therefore, the
applicant has no entitlement or claim to an appeal board.
DPB opines the applicant may not have been adequately counseled prior to
his separation from active duty. The P0506C board results were approved 25
days after the applicant separated. Had he waited the additional days, his
active duty promotion would have been valid and would have transferred with
him to the USAFR.
The complete DPB evaluation is at Exhibit B.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 27 Feb 08, the applicant requested an extension in order to obtain and
provide additional evidence to support his case (Exhibit D). On 11 Mar 08,
he was advised that his case was being administratively closed until such
time he was ready to proceed (Exhibit E). In his letter dated 12 Mar 08,
the applicant states his senior rater received his PRF for signature on or
about 3 Mar 08. He received a Definitely Promote recommendation; thus
indicating his Senior Rater's willingness to support his package for
consideration by the Jun 07 promotion board (Exhibit F). The applicant's
PRF was received on 14 Mar 08. On 24 Mar 08, the applicant requested his
case be reopened and his PRF signed by his senior rater be included with
his case (Exhibit G).
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing law or
regulations.
2. The application was timely filed.
3. Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the
existence of an error in regards to his promotion to Lieutenant Colonel
(LtCol). Selected for promotion to Lt Col by the Regular Air Force, it
appears he was not told that if he left the Regular Air Force prior to the
promotion list being published, that he would not be entitled to take the
promotion with him to the Reserve. His Reserve commander recommended he be
considered for promotion to the grade of LtCol by the AFR LtCol PV Board
that convened in June 2007. As a result of admitted administrative errors,
his PRF was never forwarded as requested by his commander and he did not
meet the June 2007 PV Board. The Air Force office of primary
responsibility’s (OPR’s) statement that the applicant had not provided any
indication that his senior rater supported or desired him to have been
considered for promotion by the June 2007 PV Board (i.e. a signed PRF – Air
Force Form 709, Promotion Recommendation Form), has been rendered void as
his commander has made it clear that he intended for the applicant to meet
the June 2007 PV Board in a statement provided with a completed PRF. Thus,
it appears all requirements have been met for his consideration by SSB as,
if not for the administrative error noted by his commander, he would have
been considered by the June 2007 PV Board. Therefore, we recommend that
the records be corrected as indicated below.
______________________________________________________________
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:
The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force relating
to APPLICANT be corrected to show that he be considered for promotion to
the grade of lieutenant colonel by a Special Selection Board for the U0508A
, Air Force Reserve Lieutenant Colonel Position Vacancy Board, with
inclusion of the attached Promotion Recommendation Form.
