2. The applicant requests promotion reconsideration to chief warrant officer four (CW4).
3. The applicant states that the promotion board did not review his advanced civilian education which constituted material error and a basis upon which to request reconsideration. He submits copies of his bachelor and master degrees in support of his request.
4. Based upon review by the Office of Promotions, Reserve Components, Total Army Personnel Command (PERSCOM) the applicant’s official military personnel file (OMPF) contained material error when he was considered and non-selected by the 2000 Reserve Components Selection Board (RCSB). His civilian education was not reviewed.
5. The applicant was advised by PERSCOM that since the board was not aware of his civilian education he had a basis for reconsideration based on material error.
6. Army Regulation 135-155 prescribes the policies and procedures for promotion of Reserve Officers. This regulation specifies that promotion reconsideration by a special selection board (SSB) may only be based on erroneous non-consideration or material error, which existed in the record at the time of consideration. Material error in this context is one or more errors of such a nature that, in the judgment of the reviewing official (or body), it caused an individual’s non-selection by a promotion board and, that had such error(s) been corrected at the time the individual was considered, a reasonable chance would have resulted that the individual would have been recommended for promotion. The regulation also provides that boards are not required to divulge the proceedings or the reason(s) for non-selection, except where an individual is not qualified due to non-completion of required military schooling.
CONCLUSIONS:
1. The applicant’s records contained material error when reviewed by the 2000 CW4 promotion board and should now be submitted to an SSB for promotion reconsideration.
2. In view of the foregoing findings and conclusions, it would be appropriate to correct the applicant’s records as recommended below.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. That all of the Department of the Army records related to this case be corrected by showing all of the civilian education of the individual concerned on the OMPF microfiche.
2. That, following administrative implementation of the foregoing, his records be submitted to a duly constituted SSB for promotion reconsideration.
3. That, if selected, his records be further corrected by showing he was promoted to the next higher grade on his date of eligibility therefor, as determined by appropriate Departmental officials using the criteria cited, provided he was otherwise qualified and met all other prerequisites for promotion.
4. That, if the applicant was separated because of his non-selection, his record be further corrected to show:
a. that his discharge or transfer to the Retired Reserve, as applicable, is void, and of no force or effect; that he was credited with qualifying service for Reserve retirement for his respective retirement years, from the dates of his now voided discharge or transfer to the Retired Reserve to the date of his return to the active Reserve;
b. that an adequate explanation be placed in his records to show that the gap in his officer evaluation reports, from the dates of his now voided discharge or transfer to the Retired Reserve to the date of return to active Reserve status, was not caused by any fault on his part, and to insure that he is not prejudiced thereby in the consideration of any future personnel actions; and
c. that all documents related to his now voided non-selection for promotion, and his discharge or transfer be expunged from his records.
5. That, if not selected, the applicant be so notified.
