2. The applicant requests, in effect, promotion reconsideration to lieutenant colonel.
3. The applicant states that his records did not include a complete the record officer evaluation report (OER), completion of 50% of the Command and General Staff College when it was seen by the 1995 lieutenant colonel selection board, and his current official photograph.
4. Based upon review by the Office of Promotion, Reserve Components, Total Army Personnel Command, the applicant’s official military personnel file (OMPF) contained material error when he was considered and non-selected by the 1995 Reserve Components Selection Board.
5. Current promotion policy 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 1995 RCSB and should now be submitted to SSB’s, as appropriate, 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 his military education, OER’s and current official photograph of the individual concerned on his OMPF.
2. That following administrative implementation of the foregoing, his records be submitted to duly constituted SSB’s as appropriate.
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 records 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 official personnel files to show that the gap in his officer evaluation reports, from the dates of his now-voided discharge 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 official military records.
5. That if not selected, the applicant be so notified.
