RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF: 			DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-02926

  						COUNSEL:  NONE

						HEARING DESIRED:  NO 



APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His non-selection for promotion by the Calendar Year 2013 (CY13) 
USAFR Participating Reserve Major Promotion Selection Board be 
removed.


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He was not aware that he was eligible for the 2013 major board, 
nor was he aware of his non-selection.

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


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant was discharged from the Air Force Reserve on his 
mandatory separation date of 1 December 2014.

The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are 
contained in the memorandum prepared by the Air Force office of 
primary responsibility (OPR), which is attached at Exhibit B.


AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

ARPC/PB recommends denial.  PB states the applicant was 
considered, but not selected, by the CYl3 Participating Reserve 
Major Promotion Selection Board which convened at HQ ARPC on 
14 January 2013.

In accordance with AFI 36-2504, Officer Promotion, Continuation 
and Selective Early Removal in the Reserve of the Air Force, 
paragraph 1.7, it is the eligible officer’s responsibility to 
monitor their own eligibility and ensure their selection record 
is correct and up-to-date before the convening of the selection 
board.

Each participating candidate’s servicing Military Personnel 
Section is notified and provided Officer Pre-selection Briefs 
approximately four months prior to each promotion board.  A 
board convening notice is also posted to the MyPers website 
announcing each board.

A review of the applicant’s Officer Selection Record (OSR) did 
not reveal any errors in the record at the time it was reviewed 
by each board.  No information was provided to either promotion 
boards 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, 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 applicant was properly considered by the CY13 Participating 
Reserve Major Promotion Selection Board IAW Title 10 USC, 
Section 14301.  There were no errors in his record as it met the 
board and the applicant has provided no evidence that the 
boards' recommendations were in any way unfair or unjust.

A complete copy of the ARPC/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 2 September 2014 for review and comment within 
30 days (Exhibit D).  As of this date, no response has been 
received by this office.


THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

1.  The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by 
existing law or regulations.

2.  The application is timely filed.

3.  Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to 
demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice.  The 
applicant’s contentions are duly noted; 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.  Therefore, 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 an 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.

Number BC-2014-02926 in Executive Session on 2 April 2015, under
