RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-02538 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

His Date of Rank (DOR) be changed from 17 Mar 10 to 14 Dec 09. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

Due to a chain of mistakes and failure to process his promotion 
paperwork in a timely manner, he was denied the appropriate DOR 
of 14 Dec 09. The paperwork was either mistakenly held and/or 
misplaced at the State headquarters level. By the time his unit 
completed the order, four months had passed since the promotion 
board convened. As a result, his DOR was created as 17 Mar 10. 
Unfortunately, he was not the only person impacted by this action 
(three others will be submitting similar requests). 

 

When enlisted promotions in the Air National Guard are approved a 
promotion order is written using the promotion board date as the 
DOR. After further research, he found there were several issues 
at the State level where they did not move promotion packages 
forward. Because of their confusion on the new promotion 
process, multiple inquiries were made to find and push the 
packages through in order to complete them. He would like his 
DOR be adjusted to correct this injustice. He is not interested 
in receiving retroactive pay; however, he wants the correction to 
his Special Order to be accomplished in his permanent record. 

 

In support of his request, the applicant provides a letter of 
support, excerpts from his promotion package, and a copy of his 
Special Order. 

 

His complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are 
contained in the letters prepared by the appropriate office of 
the Air Force which are at Exhibit B and C. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

NGB/A1POE recommends denial. Contrary to the applicant’s 
assertion that his DOR should have been the same date the board 
convened, ANGI 36-2505, Promotion of Airmen, paragraph 1.6.2.1 
states, “Promotions are effective the date of the promotion order 
or AFIMT 2096 and will not be retroactively granted.” The 
applicant cites “administrative errors” as the cause for the 
delay, but there is no information provided to validate the 
source or cause of the aforementioned errors. Additionally, 
there is a verification of eligibility process that must be 
completed before the promotion order can be published for 
personnel in Title 10 status, which is different from the process 
for personnel in Title 32 status. As such, there is no way the 
promotion order would have been published directly after the 
board convened. 

 

The complete NGB/A1POE evaluation is at Exhibit B. 

 

NGB/A1PS recommends denial. A1PS states that they concur with 
the Subject Matter Expert’s (SME) advisory. 

 

The complete A1PS evaluation is at Exhibit C.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the 
applicant on 26 Aug 11 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 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 National Guard Bureau offices of primary responsibility 
and adopt their rationale 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 
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.
