APPLICANT REQUESTS: Correction to his date of rank (DOR) for captain to 4 June 1997.
APPLICANT STATES: That his command processed all the appropriate documentation to his State headquarters for promotion processing and processed his action in a timely manner and cut a State promotion order on him with an effective date of 4 June 1997. Then for some unexplained reason his orders were amended twice and he was given a DOR of 27 October 1997. He also states that he does not understand why this action was not completed in a timely fashion and that his DOR is unjust due to no fault of his own. He submits a copy of documentation of his highest civilian and military education, his Army Physical Fitness Test Scorecard, a Statement of Physical Condition for Promotion Purposes, Recommendation for Promotion dated 22 May 1997, Orders 38-17 dated 11 June 1997, A Request for Federal Recognition dated 29 June 1997, Amended Orders 56-10 dated 4 September 1997, and Federal Recognition Orders dated 27 October 1997 in support of his request.
EVIDENCE OF RECORD: The applicant's military records show:
He was appointed from the USAR to the Arizona Army National Guard (AZ ARNG) as a second lieutenant effective 1 December 1992.
He was promoted to first lieutenant effective 29 May 1995.
On 22 May 1997, he was recommended for promotion to captain.
Orders 38-17 dated 11 June 1997 from the Deputy Chief of Staff, AZ ARNG, indicate a DOR and effective date for promotion captain as 4 June 1997. Additional instructions on the order show that he will not be paid as a captain until Federal Recognition is confirmed.
On 20 June 1997, his command forwarded a request for Federal Recognition to the ARNG Readiness Center, Arlington, Virginia.
Orders 56-10 dated 4 September 1997 from the Deputy Chief of Staff, AZ ARNG amended the 11 June 1997 orders and changed his DOR and effective date for captain to 15 August 1997.
The applicant was extended Federal Recognition for promotion to captain effective 27 October 1997.
National Guard Bureau (NGB) Regulation 600-100, chapter 8, established the policies and procedures for promotion of officers in the ARNG. Essentially, officers serving in a unit where a position vacancy exists may be promoted by
order of the Governor of the State to fill the position vacancy. However, until Federal Recognition in the new rank is confirmed by the NGB, the individual cannot be paid at the pay scale for the higher rank. In cases involving promotions to captain and above, the NGB has advised in similar cases that the recommendations for promotion must be processed through the Departments of the Army and Defense staff to obtain approval of the promotion by the President. This approval process normally takes approximately 3 months.
DISCUSSION: Considering all the evidence, allegations, and information presented by the applicant, together with the evidence of record, applicable law and regulations, it is concluded:
1. In view of the circumstances in this case, the applicant is not entitled to adjustment of his DOR for captain to 4 June 1997. He has not shown error, injustice, or inequity for the relief he now requests.
2. His DOR is shown as 15 August 1997 on State promotion orders amended on 11 June 1997.
3. The Board notes his contentions that he was not promoted based on his MYIG date of 29 May 1999; however, State promotion orders amended on 11 June 1997 show his DOR as 15 August 1997. The applicant has not provided nor submitted evidence to show that his DOR was incorrectly changed to 15 August 1997.
4. The applicant was extended Federal Recognition effective 27 October 1997, which is his effective date of promotion to captain, approximately 3½ months after his command forwarded his promotion request. The processing of the Federal Recognition board results were processed in a timely fashion and did not cause any excessive delay for the applicant. It is noted that 27 October 1997 is his effective date for promotion to captain and not his DOR.
5. 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.
6. 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.

His DOR should be adjusted due to the State G-1's failure to submit his Federal Recognition 90 days prior to the Army Promotion List (APL) mandatory promotion board. m.

The J1 noted that both officers had been selected for promotion by the State Federal Recognition Board and the error in not processing their promotions to the NGB in a timely manner lay solely with the G1 section, not the officers. In view of the foregoing, especially considering the NGB advisory opinion's recommendation, it would be appropriate at this time to correct the applicant's records to show his State promotion packet was submitted in a timely manner and the applicant was extended...

Therefore, NGB recommended and the State concurred that the applicant was entitled to a vacancy promotion to CPT with a DOR and effective date of 9 January 2013. Based on the delays through no fault of his own, and the scrolls approved by the Secretary of Defense on 9 January 2013, as a matter of equity in this case, his records should be corrected to show he was extended Federal recognition and promoted to CPT in the SCARNG with a DOR and effective date of 9 January 2013 with entitlement...

The applicant states he could not submit his promotion packet for CPT until the Army Board for Correction of Military Records (ABCMR) had finalized his DOR to first lieutenant (1LT). Without question, the failure to timely process the applicant's earlier correction for Federal recognition resulted in a delay in the processing of his appointment as a CPT. As a result, the Board recommends that all Department of the Army and State ARNG records of the individual concerned be corrected by...

However, given the fact that the State published the promotion order on 21 November 2012 and the fact that delays in his packet being processed both at the State level and at NGB were no fault of the applicant, and now based on Public Law 112-239, as...

He further indicates the applicant was promoted to MAJ based on a unit vacancy and the effective date and DOR of this promotion is the date NGB extended Federal recognition. The applicant's contention that his promotion and Federal recognition as a MAJ should have been accomplished on 3 February 2008 and it was because of errors in the CPT DOR and PEBD recorded by the VAARNG at the time of his appointment has been carefully considered. In this case, given the applicant would not have...
