RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-02947
XXXXXXX COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His nonselections for promotion to the grade of major while
assigned to the Individual Ready Reserve (IRR) be removed.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was unaware that he could be considered for promotion while
assigned to the IRR.
He was never notified that he was being considered for promotion
until he received his two-time passover letter.
He has a 1/1,500 chance of being promoted in the IRR.
He applied for several participating positions; however, he was
not selected.
He had a medical condition which prevented him from getting a
position initially until he completed the medical waiver
process. He has been working with the recruiters for almost
two years to obtain a position in the Air National Guard (ANG)
or the Air Force Reserve (AFR). Had he known there was a
limited window of opportunity to join, he would have chosen a
different vector in 2010.
In support of his appeal, the applicant provides a personal
statement; letters of support from friends and associates;
second deferral for promotion letter; Officer Selection Brief
(OSB) and a copy of his IRR agreement/contract.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant was considered, but not selected, for promotion to
the grade of major by the Calendar Year 2012 (CY12) and the
CY13 Line and Nonline Nonparticipating Reserve (NPR) Major
Promotion Selection Boards, that convened on 23 Jan 12 and
14 Jan 13, respectively. The quota for the nonparticipating
major boards was one (1) for each board.
On 1 Oct 13, the applicant was discharged under the provisions
of Title 10, United States Code 14505 and 14513 for two
nonselections for promotion to the grade of major.
________________________________________________________________
THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
ARPC/PB recommends denial, stating in part, that there were no
errors in his record as it met the boards. The applicant was
discharged IAW current laws and regulations. The applicant's
only evidence to support that the board's recommendations were
in any way unfair or unjust, is that he was not informed of
promotion opportunity by the IRR information package.
The NPR has a promotion opportunity of one (1) at each board.
Although members in the NPR are not in a participating status,
IAW Title 10 USC, Section 14301, all officers on the Reserve
Active Status List (RASL) must be considered for promotion when
eligible. Officers in the NPR are part of the RASL.
A review of the applicant's Officer Selection Record (OSR) and
the OSB did not reveal any errors in the record at the time it
was reviewed by each board. No information was provided to
either promotion board that would identify this member, or any
other meeting the board, as in-the-promotion-zone or above-the-
promotion-zone.
Promotion is a competitive process. Board members use the
"Whole Person Concept" in reviewing the entire OSR. The board
considers job performance, as documented on Officer Performance
Reports (OPRs), participation, professional qualities, job
responsibility, leadership, specific achievements, decorations,
and education. A promotion board is the sole recommending
authority, and no feedback is provided by the board to explain
why a member is not recommended for selection to the next higher
grade.
The complete PB evaluation is at Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant on 23 Aug 13 for review and comment within 30 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 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 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. In view of the
above and 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.
