APPLICANT REQUESTS: In effect, that her discharge from the United States Army Reserve (USAR) be voided, that she be reinstated and promoted to the rank of major.
APPLICANT STATES: In effect, that she is a fully qualified nurse and Army officer who possesses critical skills and she desires to be reinstated in the USAR and promoted to the rank of major.
EVIDENCE OF RECORD: The applicant's military records show:
On 6 March 1989, she was appointed as a USAR first lieutenant in the Army Nurse Corps. She was promoted to the rank of captain on 19 May 1993, with a date of rank of 5 March 1993.
On 24 July 2000, she was notified by officials at the Total Army Reserve Personnel Command (ARPERSCOM) that she had been twice nonselected for promotion and that her established removal date from the USAR was 1 January 2001, unless she was eligible and applied to be transferred to the Retired Reserve. Accordingly, she was discharged under the provisions of Army Regulation 140-10 and Title 10, United States Code, section 14513,on 1 January 2001, due to being twice nonselected for promotion.
DISCUSSION: Considering all the evidence, allegations, and information presented by the applicant, together with the evidence of record, applicable law and regulations, it is concluded:
1. 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.
2. The Board has noted the applicant's contentions that she should be reinstated and promoted to the rank of major; however, she has failed to show that she was not properly considered by the promotion selection boards that failed to select her for promotion or that her record contained errors that would constitute a re-look for promotion.
3. Therefore, the Board finds, absent evidence to the contrary, that she was properly discharged from the USAR.
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.

Although promotion boards do not divulge the reasons for selection or nonselection of officers for promotion, it is known that her nonselection was not related to her not having a baccalaureate degree, as she was commissioned in 1980 and the requirement only applied to Army Nurse Corps officers commissioned on or after 1 October 1986. Not only is there no evidence in the available records to support such a contention, the applicant has also not submitted any evidence which would suggest...

The Board notes the applicant’s contentions; however, the evidence of record shows that the applicant executed her appointment into the Reserve on 2 October 1986, upon completion of her Oath of Office and not on 9 September 1986, the date of her appointment memorandum. The requirement for a BA degree in nursing is a long-standing requirement for a Reserve Army Nurse officer appointment on or after 1 October 1986 and for promotion to major. The Board also notes that given the applicant was...

The applicant requests, in effect, that his records be corrected to show that he was discharged from the United States Army Reserve (USAR) upon completion of his 8-year statutory service obligation instead of being discharged after being twice nonselected for promotion to the rank of major. However, in a legal opinion obtained from the Air Force Reserve Command, the Director of Military Law opined, in effect, that because the applicant had been twice nonselected for promotion and had in...

She was promoted to captain in the USAR on an unknown date. In pertinent part, it states that an officer in the grade of first lieutenant, captain, or major, who has completed his or her statutory military service obligation, will be discharged for failure to be selected for promotion after second consideration by a Department of the Army Reserve Components selection board. It would not be equitable to grant the applicant a waiver of the education requirement (presumably completion of an...

The Board considered the following evidence: Exhibit A - Application for correction of military records. The 28 May 2002 letter from the applicant’s attorney to DFAS, also included as an enclosure to her application to this Board, notes that DFAS may have made a mistake in billing the applicant “for the sum claimed.” The attorney stated that in 1989, 2 years into her medical residency, the applicant “contracted with the United States Army Reserve whereby they would pay her a monthly stipend...

The applicant was also not eligible for selection because he did not meet the education requirements for promotion, which was completion of an officer advance course. In the processing of this case a staff advisory opinion was obtained from the Office of Promotions, Reserve Components, Human Resources Command (HRC) – St Louis, which opines, in effect, that while the reasons for his nonselection are unknown, the applicant could not be selected based on the fact that he had not completed the...
