RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-02929
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His first promotion nonselection to the grade of major be
removed from his records, or in the alternative, his Date of
Rank (DOR) to the grade of captain be adjusted to eliminate the
time he spent on the Individual Ready Reserve (IRR) beyond his
four-year commitment.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
While he was in the IRR, he met a selection board for promotion
to major, without receiving any notification or formal
correspondence.
Although he ultimately seeks the above relief, he is requesting
any change which will allow him to continue serving and building
time as a captain in order to be more competitive for promotion
consideration to major.
He now realizes that he should have resigned his commission and
had a formal break in service once his four-year commitment was
up in 2008. In January 2011, he was nonselected despite having
completed his Professional Military Education (PME), Masters
Degree and being assigned to a major billet. He was never
advised as to the consequences of meeting two boards and was
advised that he would have no problem being promoted since he
met all the minimum requirements and was assigned to a major
billet. He would have taken several different actions to boost
his chances for promotion had he been properly advised this was
his second board and that if not selected, he would be
separated.
In support of the appeal, the applicant provides a personal
statement and supporting statements from members of his chain-
of-command.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant is a former member of the Regular Air Force
(RegAF), who was released from active duty and transferred to
the Obligated Reserve Section (ORS) of the Air Force Reserve
(AFRes) on 16 June 2004. At the time of his separation, his
Military Service Obligation (MSO) was 21 April 2008. On
22 April 2008, he was transferred from the ORS to the
Nonobligated Nonparticipating Ready Personnel Section (NNPRS),
following completion of his MSO. On 31 January 2010, he was
assigned as a traditional reservist.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
ARPC/DPB recommends partial relief and states, in part, that
based on the applicants completion of his MSO prior to his
separation, he could have been immediately placed in the
Inactive Status List Reserve Section (ISLRS), which would have
rendered him ineligible for promotion consideration by both
boards since he was not on the Reserve Active Status List (RASL)
when the CY10 board convened and had not been on the RASL for a
full year when the CY11 board convened. Therefore, they
recommend he be assigned to the ISLRS from 22 April 2008 through
30 January 2010, which will establish the date of his promotion
eligibility as 31 January 2010, based on his assignment to the
fighter squadron and his DOR to the grade of captain be adjusted
from 17 May 2004 to 25 February 2006, which will account for the
time spent in ISLRS and render him eligible for in-the-
promotion-zone consideration by the CY12 Line and Health
Professions Major Promotion Board.
The complete ARPC/DPB evaluation is at Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
He reviewed the recommendation from ARPC to reset his date of
rank and remove him from the CY10 and CY11 Nonselect list; and
has nothing to add.
________________________________________________________________
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 error or injustice warranting
corrective action. The Air Force Reserve office of primary
responsibility has provided a thorough review of the applicants
case and has adequately addressed the issues presented, and we
are in agreement with its opinion and recommendation.
Therefore, we recommend the applicants record be corrected to
the extent 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:
a. He was assigned to the Inactive Status List Reserve
Section (ISLRS) on 22 April 2008 and remained there until his
placement on the Reserve Active Status List (RASL) on
31 January 2010. He was not discharged on his mandatory
separation date of 1 October 2011, but was continued in his
current assignment on the RASL.
b. His Date of Rank was adjusted to 25 February 2006
rather than 17 May 2004. By competent authority, his name be
removed from the Calendar Year 2010 and the Calendar Year 2011
Line and Health Professions Major Promotion Board Nonselect
list.
c. When considered for promotion, any nonselections for
promotion to the Reserve grade of Major prior to receiving three
Officer Performance Reports with at least 250 days supervision,
in the grade of captain, be set aside.

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...

An Officer Selection Brief (OSB) and a promotion letter were sent to all eligible officers in this status approximately 90 days prior to the board convening date. Based on the applicants submission, including the letters of support submitted in his behalf, we find it reasonable to believe the applicant was completely unaware of his promotion consideration during the FY01 Major Promotion Board, particularly since it appears he had not received any correspondence from the Air Force Reserve. ...

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...

She notes that even the Air Reserve Personnel Center (ARPC) Fact Sheet on the IRR does not disclose information about a Reserve officers promotion status and led her to believe that she would not be discharged unless she requested resignation of her commission. The applicants complete submission is at Exhibit A. The applicant was discharged from the Regular Air Force with a separation pay benefit prior to completing her MSO.

His commander received an informal email in late November 2002 requesting that an Officer Performance Report (OPR) be prepared for the February 2003 major board. Since he is no longer a member of the Air Force Reserve as a result of the two nonselections, he is not eligible for consideration by a Reserve promotion board. All of the officers selected for promotion by the FY03 board had completed SOS and 94% of the officers selected by the FY04 board had completed SOS.
