RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2009-01169
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her date of separation (DOS) be changed from 30 July 2008 to
2 January 2009 in order to keep her active duty promotion to the
grade of major with a date of rank (DOR) and effective date of
1 January 2009.
______________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
She spoke with the Air Reserve Personnel Center (ARPC) to
discuss her transition from the Regular Air Force (RegAF) to
the Reserves and her existing active duty promotion to major.
She submitted a request for an accelerated promotion in
accordance with (IAW) AFI 36-2504, Officer Promotion,
Continuation and Selective Early Removal in the Reserve of the
Air Force and requested a 31 July 2008 promotion to the grade of
major pin on date. ARPC informed her the Academy position was
not considered a position IAW AFI 36-2504 because it was
unfunded. A 30 July 2008 DOS was requested based on counseling
from ARPC that her promotion to the grade of major would carry
over to the Reserves. She wanted to live closer to her family
during the last eight months of her husbands deployment to
Afghanistan. Otherwise she would have stayed to keep her
pending promotion to the grade of major. ARPC stated there was
no exception to policy and 2 June 2010 was the earliest she
could be promoted to the grade of major. She was unaware the
new position would prevent her from receiving an accelerated
promotion to the grade of major.
In support of her request, applicant provides a copy of a
memorandum recommending her for promotion to the Reserve grade
of major.
The applicants complete submission, with attachment, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 2 June 1999, applicant entered the RegAF and was
progressively promoted to the grade of captain, having assumed
that grade effective and with a DOR of 2 June 2003.
The applicant met and was selected for promotion to the grade of
major by the CY07A Major Central Selection board that convened
at the Air Force Personnel Center (AFPC) on 10 September 2007.
Effective 30 July 2008, she was separated (Resignation) from
active duty after serving 9 years, 1 month and 29 days on active
duty.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOO makes no recommendation and states that had the
applicant remained on active duty she would have been promoted
to the grade of major with a DOR and effective date of 1 January
2009.
The complete DPSOO evaluation is at Exhibit B.
AFPC/DPSOS recommends denial of the applicants request to
change her DOS and does not believe she should be credited with
active service she did not perform.
The complete DPSOS evaluation, with attachment, is at Exhibit C.
ARPC/DPB recommends denial and states the applicant's active-
duty promotion transferred to the Reserves with a DOR and
effective date to the grade of major established as 2 June
2010. This action was based on current Reserve requirements
for in-the-promotion zone (IPZ) promotions. On 18 April 2008,
a request for an accelerated promotion with a DOR and effective
date of 31 July 2008 was requested. The criteria for an
accelerated promotion established in AFI 36-2504 states that an
officer must be assigned to the Selected Reserve Program. She
is not assigned to the Selected Reserve but in the Individual
Ready Reserve (IRR) as an Air Force Academy Liaison officer.
As such, she is not eligible for accelerated promotion in this
category.
The complete DPB evaluation is at Exhibit D.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the
applicant on 31 July 2009 for review and comment within 30 days.
As of this date, this office has received no response (Exhibit
E).
________________________________________________________________
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 injustice. After a
thorough review of the evidence of record and careful
consideration of the applicant's contentions, we find no evidence
that her DOS or DOR to the grade of major are erroneous and are
not persuaded by her assertions that she has been the victim of
an error or injustice. Therefore, we agree with the opinions and
recommendations of the Air Force offices of primary
responsibility and adopt their rationale as basis for our
conclusion that the applicant has not been the victim of an error
or injustice. Absent persuasive evidence to the contrary, we
find no compelling basis to recommend granting the relief sought
in this application.
________________________________________________________________
DETERMINATION OF THE BOARD:
The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of an 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.
