THE BOARD ADDITIONALLY FINDS:
14. The applicant requested adjustment to his date of rank for major. The Board’s previous recommendation in this case (AR2000049566) was for promotion consideration for major by a special selection board (SSB) under 1998 and 1999 criteria based on erroneous non-consideration. The Board concluded that based on the applicant’s date of rank for captain of 1 March 1992, his maximum years of service in grade date for major was 28 February 1999, and the applicant was not given fair and timely promotion consideration in 1998 and 1999 by the Reserve Components Selection Boards (RCSB’s). The recommendation was approved on 12 March 2001.
15. On 2 May 2001, an official of the Office of Promotions, Reserve Components, Total Army Personnel Command (PERSCOM) advised the Board in writing of the return of this case to the Board without corrective action and provided a copy of Orders Number 84-5 issued on 25 March 1999. The orders show the applicant was released from active duty and transferred to the USAR Control Group (Reinforcement) effective 1 August 1999. Therefore, he is not eligible for promotion consideration to major by an RCSB under 1998 and 1999 criteria, and he is not entitled to an adjustment of his date of rank.
16. The orders releasing the applicant from active duty effective 1 August 1999 were not available to the Board.
17. The applicant did not complete his application by showing the date of his discharge or release from active duty.
18. On 16 August 2001, an official of the active duty promotion branch, PERSCOM advised the Board that the applicant was considered and not selected for promotion to major by the 1998 and 1999 active duty promotion boards for Judge Advocate General’s Corps officers.
19. The foregoing evidence was not previously made available to this Board.
20. Pertinent promotion regulations and policies specify that officers on the active duty list will be considered by the active duty promotion boards only, and that officers in the Reserve/National Guard in an active Reserve status, not on the active duty list, will only be considered for promotion by the RCSB’s.
THE BOARD ADDITIONALLY CONCLUDES:
5. At the time of the Board’s 1 March 2001 decision in this case, the orders releasing the applicant from active duty were not made available to the Board for consideration. The Board was unaware of his active duty service and that he was considered and not selected in 1998 and 1999 by the active duty promotion boards.
6. Officers on the active duty list are not eligible for consideration by RCSB’s.
7. In view of the additional factors in this case the applicant is not eligible for promotion consideration by the 1998 or 1999 RCSB for promotion to major since he was on active duty until 1 August 1999, during those boards. The earliest RCSB he was eligible for was the 2000 RCSB, which recommended him for promotion to major.
8. The Board concludes that the applicant does not have a basis for adjustment to his DOR for major as he was on active duty and not in an active Reserve status on his maximum years of service in grade date of 28 February 1999, and he was not selected by the previous 1998 and 1999 active duty boards. He was properly considered by the 2000 RCSB and given a promotion date of 19 July 2000, the date the President approved the board.
9. The Board further notes that the applicant was considered and not selected while on active duty for promotion to major in 1998 and 1999 by the active duty board based on meeting maximum time in service.
10. In view of the foregoing findings and conclusions, it would be appropriate to rescind the Board’s previous recommendation.
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS:
That all of the Department of the Army records related to this case be corrected by rescinding the Board’s recommendation appearing in the proceedings dated 1 March 2001 and to show that the individual’s request for an adjusted DOR for major was denied.

The applicant requests, in effect, that his major (MAJ) date of rank (DOR) be adjusted to 30 June 1994 based on the constructive credit he received upon his appointment in the United States Army Reserve (USAR). The record also confirms that based on the applicant’s constructive service credit his PED to MAJ would have been established as 30 June 1994; however, he remained in training in the STRAP through 30 June 1996, and at the applicant’s request in an application to this Board, action...
ARMY | BCMR | CY2001 | 2001062370C070421
After being commissioned as a USAR CPT, the next available Department of the Army Reserve Components Mandatory Promotion Selection Board (RCSB) for MAJ convened on 24 March 1998. The applicant was first considered for promotion under ROPMA by the 2 March 1999 RCSB for MAJ and was selected for promotion on this first consideration. The applicant's MAJ promotion effective date and DOR of 3 January 2000, the date that the 1999 RCSB recommendations were approved, are correct.
ARMY | BCMR | CY2001 | 2001062876C070421
The applicant states that he was passed over for promotion to captain by the 1997 and 1998 selection boards, and the boards did not receive his microfiche that indicated he had a Bachelor of Science degree. He was promoted to captain with an effective date of 25 June 1998. The Board also concludes that under these circumstances the applicant was wrongfully denied pay and retirement points for National Guard service as a captain based on his unfair non-selection by the 1997 RCSB and his...
ARMY | BCMR | CY2001 | 2001064414C070421

The opinion also stated that since the applicant met the time in grade (TIG) requirement on 25 June 1999, it is recommended that he be issued a corrected promotion order with a DOR of 25 June 1999, and an effective date of 3 January 2000. Chapter 1405 (Promotions), section 14304 of the ROPMA law, states that officers who are on the Reserve Active Status List (RASL) shall be considered for promotion to the next higher grade by a promotion board convened under section 14101(a), a Reserve...

Section 14304, Title 10, United States Code (USC), states officer will be considered for promotion to the next higher grade by a promotion board far enough in advance to completing the MYSIG so that if the officer is recommended for promotion, the promotion may be effective on or before the date on which the officer completes the MYSIG. The board adjourned on 2 April 1999 and recommended the applicant for promotion to MAJ. On 14 January 2000, the Chief, Office of Promotions – Reserve...

The applicant states that the Army Reserve Personnel Command (AR-PERSCOM) sent him a promotion packet to complete for the November 2002 captain selection board. The Chief, Special Actions Branch, Office of Promotions, Reserve Components, PERSCOM, expressed the opinion that based on an erroneous DOR in the system of 9 August 1998, the applicant was considered for promotion by the 2002 RCSB and selected. BOARD DETERMINATION/RECOMMENDATION:
ARMY | BCMR | CY2001 | 2001062371C070421
The ROPMA provides that in order to be eligible for promotion to major the MTIG is 7 years as a captain, and that an officer selected for the first time for promotion to the next higher grade may be promoted on or before the date that he/she completed the maximum service. Promotion to major required 7 years time in grade; therefore, based on his date of rank of 1 July 1991 to captain, his promotion eligibility date was 30 June 1998. In view of the foregoing, the applicant’s records should...
ARMY | BCMR | CY2001 | 2001063121C070421
Paragraph 4-21 specifies that unit officers selected by a mandatory board will have a promotion date and effective date no earlier than the date the board is approved by the President, provided they are assigned to a position in the higher grade. Promotion to major requires 7 years time in grade; therefore, his promotion eligibility date to major was 1 October 1999. DISCUSSION : Considering all the evidence, allegations, and information presented by the applicant, together with the...
