RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:  				DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2013-01820
							COUNSEL: NONE
                          			HEARING DESIRED: NO

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His date of rank (DOR) for promotion to major (O-4) be adjusted 
to 14 March 2012 rather than 1 September 2012.  

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He was appointed into the Air National Guard (ANG) on 1 March 
2011, directly from the Army Reserves, with a captain (O-3) DOR 
of 1 September 2005.  This made him immediately eligible to meet 
a mandatory promotion board under the Reserve Officer Personnel 
Management Act (ROPMA); therefore, he should have been scheduled 
to meet the Calendar Year 2011 (CY11) ANG Major Line and Non-
Line Promotion Selection Board which convened in April 2011.  
However, his record was gained with an incorrect DOR; therefore, 
his name was not identified as an eligible officer to meet the 
CY11 or CY12 ROPMA promotion boards.  Once this error was 
caught, he was scheduled and selected by a Special Selection 
Board (SSB) for promotion to major with a DOR and effective date 
of 1 September 2012.  If he had met and been selected by the 
CY11 ROPMA board in 2011, his commander could have requested his 
promotion be accelerated after Public Release of that board.  

In support of his appeal, the applicant provides a personal 
statement, letter of support from his commander; and, copies of 
promotion documents; Officer Performance Report; DD Form 214, 
Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty; and 
electronic communications.  

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

________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant is currently serving in the ANG in the rank of major 
with a DOR of 1 September 2011.  

The remaining relevant facts, extracted from the applicant’s 
military service record, are contained in the evaluation provided 
by the Air Force office of primary responsibility at Exhibit C.  

________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

NGB/A1PO recommends approval.  A1PO states the applicant’s 
commander has provided a statement that the applicant did meet 
the requirements for promotion to major as of 14 March 2012, and 
that he would have submitted him for accelerated promotion at 
that time, if he could have.  Therefore, they concur with the 
applicant’s request and recommend his DOR and Promotion 
Effective Date be changed from 1 September 2012 to 14 March 
2012.  

The complete A1PO evaluation is at Exhibit C.  

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the 
applicant on 3 May 2013, for review and comment within 30 days 
(Exhibit D).  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.  Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to 
demonstrate the existence of an error warranting relief.  After 
a thorough review of the evidence presented, we agree with the 
recommendation made by the Air Force office of primary 
responsibility and adopt their rationale as the basis for our 
decision that the applicant was a victim of an error or 
injustice.  Therefore, we recommend the applicant’s record be 
corrected as indicated below.  

________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:

The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force 
relating to APPLICANT be corrected to reflect that competent 
authority approved his Promotion Effective Date to the grade of 
major (O-4) as 14 March 2012 rather than 1 September 2012:

________________________________________________________________
