RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:			   DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-05698 
	 				   COUNSEL:  NONE
 		  	 	 	   HEARING DESIRED:  NO

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

She be returned to active duty.  

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

She was retired on 1 Nov 13 based on her Mandatory Separation 
Date (MSD); however, she was selected for promotion to the grade 
of lieutenant colonel (O-5) by the CY10D Lieutenant Colonel  
Nurse Corps (NC) Special Selection Board (SSB).  

In support of her request, the applicant provides a letter from 
AFPC/DPSOO dated 5 Dec 13. 

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

________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

On 1 Nov 93, the applicant entered active duty.

According to her DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or 
Discharge from Active Duty, she was retired 1 Nov 13 in the 
grade of major (O-4) with a narrative reason for separation of 
“Voluntary Retirement:  Maximum Service or Time-in-Grade.” 

She served 20 years on active duty.

According to AFPC/DPSOO’s letter dated 5 Dec 13, she was 
selected for promotion to the grade of lieutenant colonel with a 
Date of Rank (DOR) of 1 Jun 12 by the CY10D Lieutenant Colonel 
NC SSB which convened on 23 Sep 13. 

 ______________________________________________________________

THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSOO makes no recommendation and states that the applicant 
was non-selected for promotion by the CY10D and CY11C Lieutenant 
Colonel NC Central Selection Boards (CSB).  On her second non-
selection, her MSD was established as 31 Oct 13.  On 23 Sep 13, 
the SSB selected her for promotion to the grade of lieutenant 
colonel with a retroactive DOR and effective date of 1 Jun 12.  
Upon Senate confirmation, the applicant is entitled to all back 
pay and allowances.

The complete DPSOO evaluation is at Exhibit C. 

AFPC/DPSOR recommends approval.  The applicant was selected for 
promotion to the grade of lieutenant colonel which allows 
continued service beyond the previously established MSD.  As a 
lieutenant colonel, officers can serve up to 28 years of 
commissioned service per Title 10 U.S.C. § 633.  On 29 Mar 13, 
she initiated an application for retirement effective on her 
established MSD.  The application was approved and retirement 
orders were generated on 29 Apr 13 for an effective retirement 
date of 1 Nov 13.  If the applicant’s promotion under SSB 
consideration had been finalized prior to her retirement 
effective date, she could have requested withdrawal of the 
retirement In Accordance With (IAW) AFI 36-3203, Service 
Retirements, paragraph 2.22.3.   

The complete DPSOR evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit 
D. 

______________________________________________________________

APPLICANT’S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

On 4 Apr 14, copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded 
to the applicant for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit 
D).  As of this date, this office has not received a 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 error or injustice to warrant 
relief.  After a thorough review of the applicant’s records and 
the documents provided, we agree with the recommendation of 
DPSOR and adopt the rationale expressed as the basis for our 
decision that the applicant has been the victim of either an 
error or an injustice.  Therefore, we recommend her records 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 show that she was 
not released from active duty on 31 Oct 13 and retired effective 
1 Nov 13, but continued to serve on active duty and was ordered 
Permanent Change of Station (PCS) to her home of record or home 
of selection pending further orders.

following members of the Board considered AFBCMR Docket Number

    Although, the applicant’s OPR closed out on 3 Nov 12, it was not required to be in her record until 60 days after the close-out date, or 3 Jan 13. The Board convened on 5 Nov 12 and the applicant’s evaluator's did not sign and finalize the report until 15 Nov 12, with the applicant acknowledging receipt on 21 Nov 12, after the convening of the board. The absence of this report is not an error because it was not required to be filed in her OSR until 3 Jan 13.

    The amended decoration was approved on 24 Sep 08, after the 12 May 08 convening board date, and cannot be filed in her Officer Selection Record (OSR) for the CY08A CSB. The special order date, which authorizes the decoration, is the same as the “Given Under My Hand” date. By having the MSM in her promotion record, the promotion board would have seen that although she did not receive a definitely promote, the MSM, 2OLC would have projected that she continued to demonstrate outstanding performance.
