On 31 May 07, the applicant was discharged from the Air Force for
Non-Selection Permanent Promotion. She served 9 years, 8 months
and 16 days of active service.
On 1 Jun 07, the applicant was assigned to the Nonobligated
Nonparticipating Ready Personnel Section (NNRPS). According to
ARPC/PB although members in NNRPS are not in a participating
status, In Accordance With (IAW) Title 10, United States Code
(USC), Section 14301, all officers on the Reserve Active Status
List (RASL) must be considered for promotion when eligible.
According to ARPC/PB the applicant was considered, but, not
recommended by the CY08 and CY09 Line and Health Professions Maj
Promotion Selection Boards which convened at ARPC on 11 Feb
08 and 23 Feb 09, respectively.

Selection Board and would be retained as a member of the Reserve

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
ARPC/PB recommends denial. PB states that a review of the
applicants Officer Selection Record (OSR) and Officer Selection
Briefs (OSBs) does not reveal any errors at the time it was
reviewed by the board.
PB states that promotion is a competitive process. Board
members use the Whole Person Concept in reviewing the entire
OSR. The board considers job performance, as documented in
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.
PB states there were no errors in the applicants records as it
met the boards, she was discharged IAW current laws and
regulations and she has not provided any evidence that the
boards recommendations were in any way unfair or unjust.
The complete PB evaluation is at Exhibit C.

_________________________________________________________________
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 an error or injustice. We took
notice of the applicants 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 that the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of material 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.
