APPLICANT REQUESTS: That his records be corrected to show that he was promoted and that his retired grade was changed from major (MAJ) pay grade 0-4 to lieutenant colonel (LTC) pay grade 0-5, as an exception to regulatory guidance.
APPLICANT STATES: In effect, that he voluntarily retired from active service after his selection to LTC and before his promotion eligibility date.
EVIDENCE OF RECORD: The applicant's military records show:
During the period 7 April 1977 to 6 July 1981 (4 years, 3 months and 14 days), he served on active duty in an enlisted status.
On 3 August 1984, he entered on active duty as a commissioned officer.
He was considered and selected by the FY00 Lieutenant Colonel, Army Promotion Selection Board that was in session during the period 29 February to 24 March 2000.
On 31 August 2000, he was voluntarily separated and placed on the retired list in the rank of MAJ (04), effective 1 September 2000. His separation document shows he had 20 years, 4 months and 12 days of creditable service.
On 4 June 2001, the Chief, Promotions Branch, Total Army Personnel Command (PERSCOM) recommended his request be denied. He stated the applicant’s promotion eligibility date to LTC was 1 April 2001. He also stated that an officer who is on a promotion list and is removed from the active duty list (ADL) prior to the effective date of promotion shall not be promoted from the ADL promotion list. Further, in order for an officer to retire as a LTC, that officer must serve in that grade for a period of 3 years.
On 12 June 2001, the applicant was provided a copy of the PERSCOM opinion for his acknowledgement/rebuttal. He did not respond.
Army Regulation 600-8-24 indicates, in pertinent part, that “Unless there is evidence of fraud, an officer’s retirement under a particular statute exhausts the power of the President and the Secretary of the Army”. Further, individuals must serve in the rank of LTC for 3 years in order to be placed on the retired list in that rank.
DISCUSSION: Considering all the evidence, allegations, and information presented by the applicant, together with the evidence of record, applicable law and regulations, and advisory opinion(s), it is concluded:
1. The applicant voluntarily elected to retire prior to his promotion eligibility date; therefore, he is not entitled to promotion to LTC or to retirement in that grade.
2. There is no error or injustice and no evidence of fraud in this case.
3. In order to justify correction of a military record, the applicant must show to the satisfaction of the Board, or it must otherwise satisfactorily appear, that the record is in error or unjust. The applicant has failed to submit evidence that would satisfy this requirement.
4. In view of the foregoing, there is no basis for granting the applicant's request.
DETERMINATION: The applicant has failed to submit sufficient relevant evidence to demonstrate the existence of probable error or injustice.

The applicant claims she has only one official military record, which would be viewed for promotion by either a RC or ADL promotion selection board, and she feels if she is qualified and selected for promotion to LTC by the RC, she should also be qualified to be promoted on the ADL.
