2. The applicant requests that his effective date of rank for promotion to Major (MAJ/O4) be adjusted from 31 December 2001 to 13 April 2001 (sic).
3. The applicant states, in effect, that he was promoted to Captain (CPT/O3) on 12 April 1994 and, based on 7 years time-in-grade, his promotion eligibility date (PED) to Major would have been 11 April 2001 (not 13 April 2001 as he indicated above). He was selected for promotion by the 2000 Department of the Army Reserve Component Selection Board, but because was was serving on active duty in an Active Guard Reserve (AGR) CPT/O3 assignment he was not promoted until 31 December 2001 when he was assigned to a MAJ/O4 billet.
4. The applicant’s military records show that he was appointed as a Second Lieutenant, Aviation Branch, United States Army Reserve on 5 May 1989 upon his graduation from the University of Florida. He served on active duty from 30 September 1989 through 21 August 1999 when he was separated as a Captain with an honorable characterization of service.
5. Immediately following his separation from active duty, the applicant entered the AGR program and was assigned to a CPT/O3 billet. Based upon his time-in-grade as a Captain, he was considered and selected for promotion to Major by the 2000 Department of the Army Reserve Components Selection Board with a PED of 11 April 2001. He was promoted to Major on 31 December 2001 when he was reassigned to a MAJ/O4 billet. US Total Army Personnel Command (PERSCOM) memorandum, dated 22 April 2002, subject: Promotion as a Reserve Commissioned Officer of the Army in Active Guard/Reserve Status under Provision of Title 10, USC Chapter 1405 shows the applicant's effective date of promotion and date of rank as 31 December 2001.
6. In the processing of this case, the United States Total Army Personnel Command, St. Louis, Missouri, provided an advisory opinion from the Office of Promotions, Reserve Components, Special Actions Branch, recommending that the applicant's request be denied. The opinion stated that the applicant was selected for promotion to Major by the 2000 Reserve Components Selection Board with a PED of 11 April 2001. However, the applicant was not assigned to a MAJ/O4 billet until 31 December 2001. Since the applicant was not in a higher grade position on his PED, he was not eligible for promotion to Major on that date.
7. On 17 July 2002, the applicant was provided a copy of this advisory opinion for his information and possible rebuttal. The applicant was advised he had 30 days to reply; however, he did not respond within the 30 days, nor did he ask for an extension beyond the 30 days.
8. On 9 October 2002, the United States Total Army Personnel Command, St. Louis, Missouri, Office of Promotions, Reserve Components, Special Actions Branch, at the request of this Board, provided an amendment to its original advisory opinion. It was recommended that the applicant be issued a corrected promotion order to reflect an effective date of promotion of 31 December 2001 and a date of rank of 11 April 2001.
9. Army Regulation 135-155, then in effect, provides policy and procedures for the selection and promotion of commissioned officers of the Army National Guard of the United States and the U. S. Army Reserve (USAR). Paragraph 4-21(d) states that AGR officers selected for promotion by a mandatory board will be promoted provided they are assigned/attached to a position in the higher grade. AGR officers who are selected for promotion by a mandatory promotion board, but who are not assigned to a position in the higher grade will be promoted on the date of assignment/attachment to a higher graded position or the day after release from AGR status. The date of rank will be the date the officer attained maximum time in grade or the date on which assigned/attached to a position of higher grade, whichever is earlier.
CONCLUSIONS:
1. Army Regulation 135-155 states that the date of rank will be the date the officer attained maximum time in grade or the date on which assigned/attached to a position of higher grade, whichever is earlier. In this case, the date of rank should be 11 April 2001.
2. Army Regulation 135-155 states that the effective date of promotion for AGR officers will be the date of assignment/attachment to a higher graded position or the day after release from AGR status.
3. The applicant's effective date of promotion is correct; however, his date of rank should be adjusted to 11 April 2001.
4. In view of the foregoing, the applicant’s records should be corrected, but only as recommended below.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. That all of the Department of the Army records related to this case be corrected by showing that the applicant's date of rank is 11 April 2001, the date he attained his maximum time in grade.
2. That so much of the application as is in excess of the foregoing be denied.

IN THE CASE OF: BOARD DATE: 5 January 2010 DOCKET NUMBER: AR20090010900 THE BOARD CONSIDERED THE FOLLOWING EVIDENCE: 1. Paragraph 4-11a of Army Regulation 135-155 states that an officer who has been recommended for promotion to the next higher grade must meet the requirements listed below before being promoted in the Reserve components. Paragraph 4-21b(2) of Army Regulation 135-155 states that unit officers selected by a mandatory board will have his/her promotion date and effective date...
ARMY | BCMR | CY2010 | 20100019825
He contends that as an ARNG AGR officer, he was authorized DORs determined as follows in accordance with (IAW) paragraphs 4-15 and 4-19d of Army Regulation 135-155 (Promotion of Commissioned Officers and Warrant Officers Other Than General Officers), effective 1 October 1994 for his promotion to MAJ and 1 February 1998 for his promotion to LTC as follows: a. Paragraph 4-15 provides that the Promotion Eligibility Date (PED) is the date the officer meets the eligibility criteria for promotion...
ARMY | BCMR | CY2011 | 20110013779
On 12 January 2006, he was issued Memorandum, Subject: Eligibility for Promotion as a Reserve Commissioned Officer Not on Active Duty Memorandum that notified him he had been selected for promotion under the provisions of Army Regulation 135-155 to LTC by a board that adjourned on 30 September 2005. On 2 July 2012, he submitted a rebuttal wherein he stated: * The NGB omitted a fact that negates their opinion in that at the time of his selection for promotion to MAJ, he was in an AGR...
ARMY | BCMR | CY2003 | 2003085793C070212
The Board considered the following evidence: He was issued a promotion memorandum dated 17 October 1986 showing his date of rank for CPT as 4 November 1986. The applicant’s assignment to an AGR CPT’s position and being rated as a captain prior to his selection by the 1986 RCSB did not entitle him to promotion to CPT effective 17 October 1986, the date of his promotion memorandum.
ARMY | BCMR | CY2012 | 20120001025
The applicant states he was not promoted to COL on his promotion eligibility date (PED). He was selected by the 2010 board and the DOR for this board is the date of assignment to a COL position. The PED for AGR officers is the date the officer reaches maximum TIG, the date of assignment to the higher grade, or in the case an officer is selected on their second or subsequent consideration and the officer's maximum TIG has passed, the PED is the date of appointment in the next higher grade...
ARMY | BCMR | CY2014 | 20140000771
Table 2-1 of this regulation states the minimum time in grade as a first lieutenant for a position vacancy promotion to CPT is 2 years. However, the available evidence does not support his request for correction of his record to show he was promoted to captain in January 2008 and promotion to MAJ prior to his transfer to the Retired Reserve. Based on the available records, it appears the applicant was eligible to be considered for a position vacancy promotion to the grade of CPT in January...
ARMY | BCMR | CY2001 | 2001065432C070421
Officials at the ARPERSCOM opined that the applicant had been considered for the first time by the 1999 Reserve Components (RC) Major Promotion Selection Board based on his DOR to CPT in 1991 and under current policies, he should have his DOR adjusted to the date he occupied a position requiring the rank of MAJ, since he was not eligible for consideration by a Reserve Component Selection Board when he reached his MYIG. Paragraph (a) states, in pertinent part, that officers shall be placed...
ARMY | BCMR | CY2007 | 20070013058
National Guard Regulation 600-100, paragraph 8-15 states in pertinent part that an ARNG commissioned officer, not on active duty, who is selected for promotion as a Reserve commissioned officer of the Army resulting from mandatory consideration may be extended Federal Recognition in the higher grade subject to several conditions, including that the officer has reached his or her promotion eligibility date and that the officer is promoted in a State status to fill an appropriate position...
ARMY | BCMR | CY2005 | 20050017802C070206
The advisory opinion went on to state that, if the applicant had been selected for promotion by the 1999 selection board based on 4 years TIG, she would have been promoted with a DOR of 18 April 2000, the approval date of the 1999 board. The applicant was one of those officers. Instead of being promoted to CPT on her normal PED of 18 January 2001 due to selection by the 2000 promotion board, a ROPMA DOR adjustment project determined that she would have been considered by the 1999 promotion...
ARMY | BCMR | CY2002 | 2002068793C070402
In effect, PERSCOM promotion officials opined that because the ROPMA prohibits the promotion of an officer prior to the approval of the list, and since the applicant’s promotion list was not approved by the President until 31 August 1998, which was the date established as his DOR, his request should be denied. Paragraph (b) states, in effect, that a RC officer who is recommended for promotion to the next higher grade by a selection board the first time they are considered for promotion and...
