RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2010-03632 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

His two non-selections for promotion to the grade of major be 
removed so he can have an opportunity to complete Squadron 
Officer School (SOS) and find an Air National Guard or Reserve 
unit. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

He has spent the previous two years since leaving active duty 
training for his new job as an Air Interdiction Agent for the 
Department of Homeland Security. He was required to complete the 
Federal Law Enforcement Academy, two schools covering two new 
aircraft he now flies, land survival and water training, 
language school and job specific tactics taught at their 
national training center. He has been plagued with multiple 
temporary duty (TDY) assignments to help protect US/Mexico 
borders. 

 

In support of his request, the applicant provides copies of 
email communiqué, travel vouchers, training certificates, and 
flying evaluation and training reports. 

 

The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at 
Exhibit A. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

On 31 August 1999, the applicant entered active duty. He was 
progressively promoted to the grade of captain, having assumed 
that grade effective and with a date of rank of 25 August 2003. 

 

The applicant was considered but not selected for promotion by 
the Calendar Year (CY09) W0409C and the (CY10) W0410A Line and 
Health Professions Nonparticipating Reserve (NPR) Major 
Promotion Selection Boards. At the time of both promotion 
boards, the applicant was assigned to the Individual Ready 
Reserve (IRR) in a nonparticipating status. 

 

On 18 May 2010, the applicant was notified by the Headquarters 
Air Reserve Personnel Center that he would be discharged due to 


his second deferral for promotion in accordance with Title 
10, United States Code (USC), section 14505. 

 

On 29 September 2007, the applicant was discharged from all 
appointments due to Force Shaping. He was credited with 8 years 
and 29 days of active duty service. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

ARPC/DPB recommends denial. DPB states as required by Title 10 
USC, section 14502, a captain nonselected for promotion for the 
second time must leave the Reserve active status list (RASL) not 
later than the first day of the seventh month after the approval 
authority signs the list. 

 

On 30 September 2010, the applicant was assigned to the inactive 
status list Reserve (ISLRS). ISLRS is defined in Title 10 USC, 
section 101 as not part of the RASL. Officers assigned to the 
nonparticipating IRR or ISLRS are not authorized to complete any 
developmental education. Therefore, SOS is not allowed. 

 

While the applicant’s skill set may be enhanced today following 
completion of the civilian training, officers twice deferred for 
promotion are unable, by policy, to obtain a participating 
assignment. AFI 36-2115, Assignments with the Reserve 
Components, Table 1.2 rule 15 states: “If a member is an officer 
twice denied promotion to the Reserve grade of captain, major, 
or lieutenant colonel, then do not assign the member to the 
SelRes (selected Reserve) or PIRR (participating IRR) with a 
commission.” 

 

The complete ARPC/DPB evaluation is at Exhibit B. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

On 29 October 2010, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was 
forwarded to the applicant for review and comment within 
30 days. As of this date, this office has received no response 
(Exhibit D). 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 


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. We took 
notice of the applicant's complete submission in judging the 
merits of the case; however, we agree with the opinion and the 
recommendation of the Air Force office of primary responsibility 
and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion that the 
applicant has failed to sustain his burden of proof of the 
existence of an error or injustice. Therefore, in the absence of 
evidence to the contrary, we find no 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.

    In this case, when the CY11 board considered the applicant, he did not have the required OPR in his records. In view of this and noting the fact that a required, HAF-directed OPR was not a matter of record when his record was considered for promotion by the CY11 major board, we find the applicant was denied fair and equitable promotion consideration to the grade of major based on an incomplete record. In view of this, and noting the applicant did not have a sufficient record of performance...

    He returned to active duty as a major via the Rated Officer Limited Period Recall Program on 5 October 2009 for a three-year tour of duty as an Air Liaison Officer/Fighter Duty Officer. HQ ARPC indicated the reason for this action was that he was placed in the Inactive Status List Reserve Section (ISLRS) on 21 May 1995 which was less than a month prior to his promotion to major (presumably after his promotion board met). As a result, an AF Form 973 was issued to rescind his June 1995...
