2. The applicant requests, in effect, retroactive reevaluation of his promotion points and promotion to pay grade E-5 effective 1 September 1997. He contends that he submitted his college transcripts to the PSNCO (personnel staff NCO) on 19 June 1997 to be included with his DA Form 3355 (Promotion Point Worksheet). However, due to an oversight by the PSNCO his DA Form 3355 was not submitted until 15 July 1997 making his new promotion points not effective until 1 October 1997. If his worksheet had been timely submitted in June 1997, the points would have been effective 1 September 1997, the date he met the promotion point cut-off score. He submits letters from his chain of command, including the PSNCO, confirming and supporting the request.
3. On 12 December 1995 the applicant, with 3 years, 4 months and 28 days of prior active service, reenlisted for 4 years.
4. He was granted 575 promotion points on his July 1997 DA Form 3355. His primary military occupational specialty (MOS) is 55D (Explosive Ordnance Disposal Specialist).
5. The Department of the Army promotion cut-off score for 1 September 1997, in the applicants MOS, for pay grade E-5 was 560 points.
6. The Total Army Personnel Command (PERSCOM) in a comment to the Board advised, in effect, that their review of the case confirms the applicants contentions and recommended granting the applicants request.
CONCLUSIONS:
1. The evidence of record supports the applicants contention that a delay on the part of the PSNCO held up processing his DA Form 3355.
2. Due to this delay, his promotion paperwork was not processed until July 1997 making his promotion points effective 1 October 1997. Had the PSNCO timely processed the promotion paperwork in June 1997 the applicant would have met the promotion point cut-off score for promotion to pay grade E-5 for 1 September 1997.
3. In view of the foregoing, the applicants records should be corrected as recommended below.
RECOMMENDATION:
That all of the Department of the Army records related to this case be corrected by showing that the individual concerned was promoted to pay grade E-5 effective 1 September 1997 with a same date of rank.
