2. The applicant requests reconsideration of his previous application to correct his military records to change his date of rank (DOR) as a captain by awarding him additional entry grade credit.
3. He states that his Basic Active Service Date (BASD) has already been changed. He wants the Board to know that he only wanted his DOR changed. Upon enrolling in the Health Professionals Scholarship Program (HPSP) he was informed by a personnel technician, CWO G_____, that he would receive credit for his prior service. He resubmits the documentation showing his prior service.
4. Incorporated herein by reference are military records which were summarized in a decisional document prepared to reflect the Board's previous consideration of the case (AR2001058593) on 27 September 2001.
5. The submission is new evidence to the extent that the actual receipt date of these materials was not considered by the Board. As such, it requires Board consideration.
6. As noted in the Board's previous decisional document, the applicant was a member of an Army Reserve (USAR) Troop Program Unit simultaneously with his being enrolled in ROTC. He was commissioned a USAR officer, completed the Officer Basic Course and served in the Individual Ready Reserve until he was appointed a Medical Corps captain with a date of rank of 15 June 1998. The submitted materials demonstrate that the applicant qualified for 2 years, 8 months and 5 days prior service credit. Although the Office of the Surgeon General (OTSG) recommended approval of his request, the Board denied relief because the applicant had submitted supporting documentation almost 3 years after his appointment as a Medical Corps officer.
7. The documentation showing the applicant's prior service duplicates information originally received by the board on 27 December 1999 as part of AR2000034922. That case was administratively closed because adequate records to adjudicate the case were not available.
CONCLUSIONS:
1. The Board notes the original receipt date of the substantiating documentation and the favorable advisory opinion from the OTSG and concludes that the applicant should be awarded the 2 years, 8 months and 5 days prior service credit.
2. The applicant's date of rank and effective date of rank as a captain should be corrected to 10 October 1975. He should be paid any increase in pay. If appropriate, he should be considered by a standby advisory board for promotion to major and he should be promoted, if selected.
3. In view of the foregoing findings and conclusions, correcting the applicant’s records as recommended below would correct an error and rectify an injustice.
RECOMMENDATION:
That all of the Department of the Army records related to this case be corrected by:
a. showing the date of rank and effective date of rank of the individual concerned is 10 October 1995;
b. paying him any resultant increase in pay;
c. if appropriate, referring his name to a standby advisory board, as appropriate for consideration for promotion to major; and
d. promoting him, if selected.

The applicant states, in effect, that his appointment and orders to active duty in the Army do not properly reflect all the constructive service credit he was due based on his prior active military service in the United States Navy (USN). Therefore, it would be appropriate to correct his record to show his BASD is 6 June 1992, based on the 6 years, 11 months, and 8 days of prior active military service he completed in the USN. By regulation, appointment as a MC CPT requires a minimum of 4...

Paragraph 3-4 (Transition Credit) states, in pertinent part, that the grade and date of rank upon appointment will be determined by the law and regulations in effect on the date of the appointment. It also states that the DOR is the date the member is actually or constructively appointed and that the PED will be adjusted based on constructive service credit.

The applicant requests correction of military records as stated in the application to the Board and as restated herein. APPLICANT REQUESTS: That his Basic Active Service Date (BASD) and Date of Rank (DOR) be adjusted to give him credit for the time he served in the Army Reserve, both as an enlisted soldier and as an officer.

This memorandum authorized the applicant’s promotion to MAJ and established her DOR as 27 January 2000. As a result, her record was referred to a STAB and she was considered and selected for promotion to MAJ under the criteria established for the 1998 promotion board. However, during the processing of this case, these same promotion officials determined that the 31 August 1998 date was in error, and that the applicant’s promotion date to MAJ should have actually been established as 30...
