IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-01639

His Date of Rank (DOR) and Promotion Effective Date (PED) to
Airman (E-2) be corrected to 16 Jul 13 and Airman First Class
(E-3) be corrected to 16 Jan 14.
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

Support Staff failing to notify his commander that he was
eligible for promotion; therefore, he missed pay raises and the

recommending approval of his requested promotion dates.

promotion to Airman First Class, a member must have six months
TlG. Additionally, for promotion to both grades the individual
must be a satisfactory participant in accordance with AFI 36-
2254, Volume 1, Reserve Personnel Participation. The individual
must also be recommended by the promotion authority (Commander).

On 16 July 2013, the applicant was eligible for promotion to
Airman.
On 16 Jan 14, the applicant was eligible for promotion to Airman
First Class.
A thorough review of all documents provided by the applicant and
applicable documents pulled from MilPDS and ARMS, confirm that
the member met all eligibility criteria for promotion to Airman
on 16 Jul 2013 and Airman First Class on 16 Jan 14. Thus, the
basis for the Command's approval recommendation is established.
