2. The applicant requests that her records be corrected by reinstating her original date of rank of 1 January 2000 to staff sergeant, with differential pay between E-5 and E-6 for the period beginning 12 October 2000 to the present.
3. The applicant states that she was denied enrollment to the Basic Noncommissioned Officer Course (BNCOC) “due to an erroneous body [fat] composition computation.” That she was wrongly reduced for failure to complete the course, however, the PERSCOM Reinstatement Panel reinstated her to the list but the imposed reduction was not lifted until she finished the course.
4. The applicant’s military records show that the applicant was conditionally promoted to staff sergeant on 1 January 2000, contingent on successful completion of BNCOC.
5. In August 2000, the applicant was denied enrollment in the AMEDD NCO Academy for failure to meet body fat standards.
6. On 12 October 2000, as a result of her disenrolled from BNCOC her promotion to pay grade E-6 was revoked.
7. The applicant’s chain of command verified that the applicant met the body fat composition prior to her enrollment in BNCOC and after she returned to the unit after being denied enrollment, and questioned the accuracy and validity of the AMEDD NCO Academy tape test.
8. On 10 November 2000, the Headquarters, Department of Army NCOES Reinstatement Panel reinstated the applicant to the promotion and BNCOC lists with the stipulation that she be rescheduled as soon as practical and that she complete the course prior to promotion.
9. The applicant reenrolled in BNCOC on 27 August 2001 and successfully completed the course on 18 December 2001.
10. The applicant was promoted to the pay grade of E-6, with a date of rank and effective date of 18 December 2001.
CONCLUSIONS:
1. The Board determines that there were some irregularities in calculating the applicant’s body fat composition, as verified by her chain of command, and evidenced by the Reinstatement Panel’s decision to reinstate her to the promotion and BNCOC lists.
2. Due to no fault of the soldier she was erroneously denied enrollment in BNCOC, which subsequently resulted in her promotion to E-6 being revoked.
3. In the interest of justice and equity the applicant’s date of rank and effective date should be adjusted from 18 December 2001, to her original promotion date of 1 January 2000, with all back pay and allowances from 12 October 2000, (the date her original promotion was revoked) through 17 December 2001.
4. In view of the foregoing, the applicant’s records should be corrected as recommended below.
RECOMMENDATION:
That all of the Department of the Army records related to this case be corrected by showing the applicant was promoted to the pay grade of E-6 with a date of rank and effective date of 1 January 2000, with back pay and allowances from
12 October 2000 through 17 December 2001.

The applicant requests that her records be corrected by reinstating her original date of rank of 1 September 2001 to staff sergeant, and by removing from her records, a DA Form 1059 (Service School Academic Evaluation Report) dated 6 January 2002, reduction orders dated 25 January 2002 and amendment orders dated 6 February 2002. On 25 January 2002, as a result of her disenrollment from BNCOC her promotion to pay grade E-6 was revoked by Orders 025-21, dated 25 January 2002, with an...

In February 2002, the applicant submitted a request asking that he be reinstated on the promotion list and that he be scheduled to attend the ANCOC. The Board notes the applicant’s contention that the effective date and date of rank of his promotion to SFC/E-7 should be restored to 8 January 2000, because the revocation of this promotion was based on an unverified and flawed body fat measurement that resulted in his unjustly being denied enrollment in the ANCOC, and it finds this claim has...
ARMY | BCMR | CY2010 | 20100007483
The applicant requests removal of the DA Form 1059 (Service School Academic Evaluation Report), dated 19 January 2007, from her Official Military Personnel File (OMPF). Accordingly, as required by the applicable regulation at the time, she was issued a DA Form 1059 that shows she marginally achieved course standards in that she met the academic requirements but failed to meet body fat standards IAW AR 600-9 during this course. As a result, the Board recommends that all Department of the...
ARMY | BCMR | CY2002 | 2002074383C070403
The DA Forms 5501 reflect her record of body fat measurements as: weight 190 lbs. She informed them that it had been determined that the unit’s scale was measuring weight 8 lbs. Meeting the Army's weight and body fat standards is an individual responsibility and on this point alone the applicant's request can be denied.
ARMY | BCMR | CY2001 | 2001064394C070421
However, the applicant requests that the underlying medical reason that caused this incident, his determination to recover and attend ANCOC, his past performance, the recommendations of his chain of command, and the PERSCOM decision to reinstate him to the ANCOC be considered; and on this basis, his promotion date and DOR to SFC/E-7 should be changed to the original date of 1 February 2000. On 15 May 2001, the applicant completed the ANCOC requirements and his promotion to SFC/E-7,...

He was denied enrollment and was returned to his unit to appear before a promotion removal board; however, he was again required to take an APFT and passed it again. For reasons not explained in the available records, the applicant was removed from the promotion standing list and was subsequently transferred to Honduras, where he had to appear before a promotion board in order to re-acquire promotion list standing. Inasmuch as the Board has been unable to establish that the message he has...
ARMY | BCMR | CY2008 | 20080014443
There is no indication or evidence in the applicant's records that she was enrolled in or completed Phase II of MOS 54B BNCOC as stipulated in her promotion orders. The evidence of record further shows the applicant was conditionally promoted to SSG/E-6 on 30 June 1998 in MOS 54B contingent upon her successful completion of BNCOC. With respect to the applicant's contention that she should be considered for promotion to SFC/E-7, there is no evidence that the applicant met grade and/or NCOES...
ARMY | BCMR | CY2007 | 20070001541
The records show that the applicant was scheduled to attend ANCOC in August 2001. The applicant states that upon returning to his unit on 14 August 2001, his first sergeant did his measurement and he was in compliance with the Army standards. Also, the appropriate authority approved the applicants request to return to ANCOC and to be placed back on the promotion selection list.
ARMY | BCMR | CY2003 | 2003087464C070212
The applicant requests that the DA Form 1059 (Service School Academic Evaluation Report (AER)), dated 19 October 2000, [herein identified as the "contested AER"] be removed from his Official Military Personnel File (OMPF). The evidence of record shows the applicant was promoted to the rank of staff sergeant effective 19 December 2001.

ARMY | BCMR | CY2002 | 2002069173C070402
On 21 August 2001, the applicant submitted a request for attendance at BNCOC.
