APPLICANT REQUESTS: In effect, adjustment to her date of rank for captain from 13 October to 1 April 1998.
APPLICANT STATES: That at the time of her discharge from active duty, she was selected for promotion to the rank of captain which would have occurred on 1 April 1998. She entered the Reserve and was subsequently promoted to captain effective 13 October 1998, 6 months after her assigned promotion date. In support of her application she submits copies of her DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty), an Army Competitive Category First Lieutenants Recommended Promotion to the Grade of Captain List, her assignment orders and her letter to this Board dated 20 August 2002.
EVIDENCE OF RECORD: The applicant's military records show:
She was appointed in the Reserve as a second lieutenant effective 29 May 1993.
She entered on active duty effective 22 May 1994 and was promoted to first lieutenant effective 28 May 1996.
She was released from active duty effective 1 December 1997 and transferred to the USAR Control Group (Reinforcement).
An Army Competitive Category First Lieutenants Recommended Promotion to the Grade of Captain List submitted by the applicant shows she was recommended for promotion to captain with a date of rank of 1 April 1998.
She was reassigned to a troop program unit (TPU) effective 13 October 1998.
The Chief, Special Actions Branch, Office of Promotions, Total Army Personnel Command (PERSCOM), expressed the opinion that based on the fact the applicant was not assigned to a TPU upon her release from active duty she was not eligible for a date of rank of 1 April 1998. The earliest date the applicant was eligible for was 13 October 1998, the date she was given by the Army Reserve Command upon her assignment to a TPU. In view of these facts, it was recommended that the applicant’s request be disapproved.
The opinion was forwarded to the applicant for her acknowledgment/rebuttal on 19 November 2002. She did not respond.
Title 10, United States Code, section 14317(c) specifies that an officer who is on the active-duty list (ADL) and is on a promotion list as a result of selection for promotion and who before being promoted is released from the ADL and placed on the Reserve active-status list (RASL) shall be placed on an appropriate promotion list and promoted in accordance with Army Regulations.
Army Regulation 135-155 prescribes the policies and procedures for promotion of Reserve officers. Chapter 2-4 of this regulation specifies that an officer serving in the grade of first lieutenant on the ADL who has been selected for promotion to captain but who has not been promoted by the time the officer transfers to the RASL in the same competitive category, will be placed on an appropriate Reserve of the Army promotion list. The effective date of promotion and date of rank will be the same as if the officer had been selected to the same grade by a promotion board for RASL officers.
The regulation also specifies that in order to be eligible for promotion to captain the maximum time in grade for a first lieutenant is 5 years and that an officer selected for the first time for promotion to the next higher grade may be promoted on or before the date that he/she completed the maximum service. It further specifies that a TPU officer must be serving in a position requiring the higher grade.
DISCUSSION: Considering all the evidence, allegations, and information presented by the applicant, together with the evidence of record, applicable law and regulations, and advisory opinion(s), it is concluded:
1. In view of the circumstances in this case, the applicant is not entitled to correction to her date of rank for captain. She has not shown error, injustice, or inequity for the relief she now requests.
2. The Board notes her contention that her date of rank for captain should be 1 April 1998; however, she was recommended for promotion to captain, with a date of rank of 1 April 1998, while she was serving on active duty. Prior to her being promoted she was separated from active duty effective 1 December 1997 and transferred to the USAR Control Group. Based on her transfer to the Reserve she was only eligible for promotion to captain after serving 5 years time in grade (27 May 2001). She was subsequently assigned to a TPU and promoted to captain effective on that date. Therefore, her date of rank for captain of 13 October 1998, has been correctly established.
3. 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.
4. 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.
