AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

 
DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2012-02952 
 
COUNSEL:  NONE 
 
HEARING DESIRED:  NO 

IN THE MATTER OF: 
   
   
   
   
 
________________________________________________________________ 
 
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 
 
His  second  deferral  for  promotion  to  the  grade  of  major  be 
removed  from  his  records  and  he  receive  supplemental  promotion 
consideration.  
 
________________________________________________________________ 
 
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 
 
He was unaware of his first deferral for promotion.  He believes 
it  may  have  occurred  during  his  Individual  Ready  Reserve  (IRR) 
status  from  September  2004  to  May  2010.    He  would  like  another 
opportunity for promotion consideration. 
 
In  support  of  his  request,  the  applicant  provides  his  second 
deferral for promotion notification letter. 
 
The  applicant’s  complete  submission,  with  attachment,  is  at 
Exhibit A. 
 
________________________________________________________________ 
 
STATEMENT OF FACTS: 
 
The  applicant  is  a  former  member  of  the  Air  Force  Reserves.  
Documentation  provided  by  the  applicant  shows  that  on  14  March 
2012,  he  was  notified  of  his  second  deferral  for  promotion  and 
his mandatory separation date.  He was honorably discharged from 
the Reserves on 1 October 2012 in the grade of captain.   
 
________________________________________________________________ 
 
AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 
 
ARPC/PB recommends denial.  The applicant was assigned to the IRR 
when  he  was  considered  and  not  selected  for  promotion  by  the 
CY2010  Line  and  Health  Professions  Non-Participating  Reserve 
Major  Promotion  Board.    Members  of  the  IRR  are  part  of  the 
Reserve Active Status List (RASL), and by law, must be considered 
for promotion.   
 

On  2  August  2010,  the  applicant  obtained  a  participating 
assignment and was again part of the RASL.  He had to stay on the 
RASL  for  one  year  following  his  assignment  to  be  eligible  for 
promotion  consideration.    He  was  considered  and  not  selected  by 
the  CY2012  Line  and  Non-line  Promotion  Selection  Board.    As  a 
result of his second nonselection, his mandatory separation date 
of 1 October 2012 was established. 
 
A review of his record reveals there were no errors at the time 
it  was  reviewed  by  each  promotion  board.    No  information  was 
provided  to  the  board  that  would  identify  him,  or  any  other 
member  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 
Officer  Selection  Record.    A  promotion  board  is  the  sole 
recommending authority, and no feedback is provided by the board 
to  explain  why  a  member  is  not  recommended  to  the  next  higher 
grade.   
 
There were no errors in the record as it met the boards.  He has 
provided no evidence that the board’s recommendations were unfair 
or unjust. 
 
The complete PB 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 7 August 2012 for review and comment within 30 days.  As of 
this date, this office has received no response (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.    After 
thoroughly  reviewing  the  evidence  of  record  and  the  applicant’s 
complete submission, we are not persuaded that the record should 
be changed.  The applicant’s contentions are duly noted; however, 
he has not provided persuasive evidence to override the rationale 
provided by the Air Force office of primary responsibility (OPR).  
Therefore,  we  agree  with  the  opinion  and  recommendation  of  the 
OPR and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion that 
the applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice.  
In the absence of persuasive evidence to the contrary, we find no 

2 

basis  to  recommend  granting  the  relief  sought  in  this 
application. 
 
________________________________________________________________ 
 
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT: 
 
The  applicant  be  notified  that  the  evidence  presented  did  not 
demonstrate  the  existence  of  an  error  or  injustice;  that  the 
application  was  denied  without  a  personal  appearance;  and  that 
the application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of 
newly  discovered  relevant  evidence  not  considered  with  this 
application.
