2. The applicant requests that his effective date of his promotion to Major be corrected with subsequent correction to his date of rank to Lieutenant Colonel and that he be paid all due back pay and allowances.
3. The applicant states, in effect, that he was promoted to Major as a result of Board action with a date of rank of 10 August 1991 but an effective date of 10 August 1992. This correction would require that his date of promotion to Lieutenant Colonel be adjusted.
4. The applicant's military records show that he was commissioned in the U. S. Army Reserve on 13 August 1977. He was promoted to First Lieutenant effective 12 August 1980. He was ordered to active duty in an Active Guard/Reserve (AGR) status in January 1984. In August 1985, he was assigned to the U. S. Army Recruiting Command in an AGR status.
5. The applicant was not selected for promotion to Captain by the 1984 Army Promotion List (APL) Reserve Components Selection Board (RCSB). He was selected for promotion to Captain by the 1985 RCSB and promoted to Captain with a date of rank of 11 August 1985. He was promoted to Major effective 10 August 1992. (He would have been eligible for promotion to Major effective 10 August 1991 but for his first nonselection to Captain.) He was promoted to Lieutenant Colonel by the 1998 Selection Board.
6. The applicant applied to the Board requesting promotion reconsideration to Captain under 1984 criteria. On 25 October 2001, the Board granted his request. He was subsequently selected for promotion to Captain and promoted to Captain with an effective date of 11 August 1984.
7. The applicant's promotion memorandum to Major was thereupon corrected to show he was promoted to Major effective 10 August 1992 with a date of rank of 10 August 1991.
8. In the processing of this case, an advisory opinion was obtained from the U. S. Army Reserve Personnel Command, Director, Full Time Support Management Directorate. That office noted that the applicant met the time in grade, commissioned service, active status, and educational requirements for promotion to Major with an effective date of rank of 10 August 1991 provided he was serving in a Major's position on 10 August 1991. That office recommended the U. S. Army Recruiting Command be contacted to verify the applicant's position information as of 10 August 1991.
9. The U. S. Army Recruiting Command verified that the applicant was assigned to an authorized Major's position while with their command.
10. A copy of the advisory opinion was provided to the applicant for comment or rebuttal. He concurred with the advisory opinion.
11. An email from the U. S. Army Personnel Command, Office of Promotions, Reserve Components, dated 20 August 2002 indicates that the applicant can request consideration by the 1997 Lieutenant Colonel Selection Board as an omit from the 1997 board without going through this Board for approval. If selected for promotion to Lieutenant Colonel under 1997 criteria, the earliest date of rank would be the approval date of the board or the date he was assigned to a Lieutenant Colonel position.
12. Title 10, U. S. Code, section 14502(e)(2) states that an officer who is promoted to the next higher grade as the result of the recommendation of a special selection board shall, upon such promotion, have the same date of rank, the same effective date for the pay and allowances of that grade, and the same position on the reserve active-status list as the officer would have had if the officer had been recommended for promotion to that grade by the selection board which should have considered, or which did consider, the officer.
13. Army Regulation 15-185, the regulation under which the Board operates, provides that the Board will not consider any application until the applicant has first exhausted all other administrative remedies available.
CONCLUSIONS:
1. In accordance with Title 10, U. S. Code section 14502(e)(2), the applicant is entitled to have the effective date of his promotion to Major adjusted to 10 August 1991 with all due back pay and allowances.
2. In accordance with information provided by the U. S. Army Reserve Personnel Command, the applicant can request consideration by the 1997 Lieutenant Colonel Selection Board as an omit from the 1997 board without going through this Board for approval. He is required to request this administrative remedy before the Board can consider this portion of his request.
3. In view of the foregoing, the applicant’s records should be corrected 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 was promoted to Major as a Reserve commissioned officer of the Army in an Active Guard/Reserve status effective 10 August 1991 with a date of rank of 10 August 1991.
2. That the applicant be paid all due back pay and allowances as a result of the above correction.
BOARD VOTE:

He was told that one of the many possible reasons for non-selection may have been that his record did not show he had completed the military education requirement for promotion as specified in Army Regulation 135-155 (Promotion of Commissioned Officers and Warrant Officers Other Than General Officers), paragraph 2-6. Army Regulation 135-155 specifies that in order to be promoted to lieutenant colonel an individual must have completed 7 years of time in grade as a major and the required...

The applicant states, in effect, that the Reserve Officer Personnel Management Act (ROPMA), Title 10, U. S.

The opinion also stated that the applicant was considered by the 1997 RCSB and selected for promotion. This regulation further specifies that an officer will not be considered for a Reserve promotion unless in an active Reserve status not later than the date a respective RCSB convenes to be considered by that RCSB for a Reserve promotion. However, the applicant was on active duty when the 1996 RCSB convened and not eligible for consideration.

The evidence also shows that based on the applicants date of rank...

At the time of his selection for promotion to major on 5 March 1991, he was an ARNG officer. The applicant was considered and not selected for promotion to major while on active duty. The applicant should have been considered for promotion to major by a mandatory Reserve promotion board one year after the date of his transfer to the IRR in 1994 and again in 1995.
ARMY | BCMR | CY2008 | 20080006638

If not selected for promotion by the SSB he should be issued a corrected promotion order with a DOR of 10 September 1996 (sic)...
ARMY | BCMR | CY2004 | 20040005904C070208
Records show that the applicant was recommended for promotion by the 1998 RCSB for promotion to lieutenant colonel. There is no evidence that the applicant was promoted to lieutenant colonel or served in the rank of lieutenant colonel during the period from 22 July 1999 until he was promoted to lieutenant colonel on 17 June 2004. As a result, the Board recommends denial of so much of the application as requests correction of his promotion date to 22 July 1999 and correction of his OERs for...
