                       RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-04565
	XXXXXXX	COUNSEL:  NONE
		HEARING DESIRED:  NO

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His nonselections for promotion be removed and he be returned to 
the Individual Ready Reserve (IRR) effective the date of the 
Board’s approval.

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He was never provided counseling at the time of his active duty 
separation.  He was never notified that he was eligible for 
promotion consideration in the IRR.  He was unaware that he 
could complete PME while in the IRR.  He was unaware of the 
consequences of being a two-time pass over in the IRR.  He did 
not find out that he was discharged on 1 Jul 03 until 3 Oct 06, 
when he contacted a recruiter about reentry into the Air Force 
Reserve.  He attempted reentry again in 2009 and is trying again 
to come back and serve in a critical required AFSC as a Flight 
Surgeon.

The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.

________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

Based on the information from the Air Force offices of primary 
responsibility (OPRs), on 15 Jun 88, the applicant was appointed 
and entered active duty in the grade of captain.  He was 
progressively promoted to the grade of major with an effective 
date of 6 Jun 94.  On 8 Nov 99 and 6 Nov 00, respectively, he 
met and was nonselected by the Calendar Year 1999A (CY99A) and 
the CYOOA Lieutenant Colonel Medical Corps Central Selection 
Boards (CSBs).  He was eligible for continuation; however, the 
record reflects that he separated from active duty on 30 Jun 01.

On 1 Jul 01, he was assigned to the Non-obligated Non-
participating Ready Personnel Section (NNRPS).  On 1 Jul 03, he 
was assigned to the Inactive Status List Reserve Section (ISLRS) 
and was released to civilian status on 2 Jul 04.

________________________________________________________________

THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

ARPC/CV did not make a recommendation and states that the 
applicant has never met a USAFR promotion board and recommended 
a referral to AFPC to comment on the promotion deferrals.

The applicant did not meet any promotion boards during the time 
he served in the USAFR.  While in NNRPS, he was eligible for the 
Fiscal Year 2003 (FY03) USAFR Lieutenant Colonel Promotion Board 
that convened 24 Jun 02.  However, there is no record of the 
applicant meeting this board.  He was not eligible for the FY04 
USAFR Lieutenant Colonel Promotion Board due to his pending 
assignment to ISLRS, a non-promotion eligible status.

The applicant's transfer to ISLRS on 1 Jul 03 and subsequent 
discharge on 2 Jul 04 was in accordance with current laws and 
regulations.  The order discharging the applicant from all 
appointments in the USAF was published on 31 Aug 04 and mailed 
to the address listed on his DD 214.

The complete ARPC/CV evaluation is at Exhibit B.

AFPC/DPSOO recommends denial, stating that the applicant has not 
provided any justification as to why his active duty 
nonselections should be removed.  DPSOO has no recommendation if 
the Board's decision is to grant relief over their objections.

The complete DPSOO evaluation is at Exhibit C.

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the 
applicant on 11 Jan 13 for review and comment within 15 days.  
As of this date, no response has been received by this office 
(Exhibit D).

________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

1.  The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by 
existing law or regulations.

2.  The application was not timely filed; however, it is in the 
interest of justice to excuse the failure to timely file.

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 opinions and 
recommendations of the Air Force 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 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.
