RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-03885
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His military service record be corrected to reflect that he had
only one promotion board while in Inactive (Individual) Ready
Reserve status.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was passed over twice for promotion while in the IRR, but
never received notification of a second promotion board taking
place. He only received one Selection Board notification letter
during his IRR period of 2007 to 2010. He became aware of the
discrepancy in his records in 2011 when he applied to the
Reserve and was told that he was ineligible as he had been
passed over for promotion twice.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The relevant facts pertaining to this application are contained
in the letter prepared by the appropriate office of the Air
Force, which is attached at Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
ARPC/CV recommends denial, indicating there were no errors in
his records as they met the boards. On 11 Feb 08 and 23 Feb 09,
respectively, a Non-Participating Reserve Major Promotion Board
was convened at HQ ARPC but the applicant was not selected for
promotion at either board.
On 1 Dec 08, ARPC/DPBPE notified the applicant that he was
eligible for promotion consideration and the board would convene
at HQ ARPC on 23 Feb 09.
On 9 Apr 09, ARPC/DPP notified the applicant of his second
deferral for promotion and that he was not recommended for
promotion by the Reserve of the Air Force Selection Board, under
the provisions of Air Force Instruction 36-2504, Officer
Promotion, Continuation and Selective Early Removal in the
Reserve of the Air Force. Additionally, he was informed that he
would be retained as a member of the Reserve until 2 Jan 10, the
date of expiration of his Special Separation Benefit Program
contract.
On 17 Apr 09, the applicant signed for receipt of the second
deferral for promotion notification, dated 9 Apr 09.
The applicant was duly notified of pending separation and he
would not be eligible for future assignments. He was discharged
in accordance with current laws and regulations and has provided
no evidence the promotion boards recommendations were in any
way unfair or unjust. ARPC does not maintain records indicating
notification of the convening of the first board, or
notification of non-selection by that board. The notifications
would have been sent to the home of record listed in the
applicants Military Personnel Data System (MilPDS) record and
there is nothing to indicate the applicants data was inaccurate
when the initial notification was mailed in Oct 07 or the non-
selection notification mailed in Apr 08.
A complete copy of the ARPC/CV evaluation is at Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The applicant reiterates that it is his desire to serve his
country again in the capacity for which he was trained. His
service record is exemplary and he will continue to give the Air
Force Reserve a great return on its investment. Lastly, the Air
Force Reserve has expressed great interest in hiring him for a
vacancy they want to fill.
A complete copy of the Applicants response is at 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. 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 Air Force office of primary responsibility
and adopt its 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 the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; the
application was denied without a personal appearance; and the
application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of
newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this
application.
