THE APPLICANT'S REQUEST, STATEMENT, AND EVIDENCE:
1. The applicant requests that her date of rank (DOR) for promotion to the rank of colonel be adjusted to 1 May 2002.
2. The applicant states, in effect, that she was non-selected for promotion to the rank of colonel in 2001 and was subsequently granted promotion reconsideration by a special selection board (STAB). She goes on to state that she was selected for promotion by the STAB and was promoted to the rank of colonel with a DOR of 7 October 2002; however, her peers were promoted to the rank of colonel on 1 May 2002 and she would have been promoted with them had an administrative error not occurred which caused her to have to be reconsidered by a STAB.
3. The applicant provides copies of her promotion notification memorandums.
CONSIDERATION OF EVIDENCE:
1. The applicant was commissioned as a United States Army Reserve (USAR) first lieutenant on 22 August 1979. She was promoted to the rank of lieutenant colonel on 27 March 1997.
2. On 3 September 2002, the Total Army Personnel Command (PERSCOM) notified the applicant, who was serving in an Active Guard Reserve (AGR) status at the time, that a Department of the Army STAB which convened on 1 April 2002, had recommended her for promotion to the rank of colonel under the criteria established for the 2001 colonel promotions selection board.
3. On 4 October 2002, the PERSCOM published the applicant's promotion memorandum promoting her to the rank of colonel effective 7 October 2002.
4. In the processing of this case a staff advisory opinion was obtained from the PERSCOM Office of Promotions, Reserve Components, which opined, in effect, that the applicant's DOR should be 26 March 2002, the date she attained the maximum time in grade (TIG) and that her effective date should be 7 October 2002, the date she was assigned to the higher grade position. The advisory opinion was forwarded to the applicant for comment and to date no response has been received by the staff of the Board.
5. Army Regulation 135-155 provides policy and procedures for the selection and promotion of commissioned officers of the Army Reserve and Army National Guard. It provides, in pertinent part, that the promotion of an AGR officer who is selected for promotion by a special board will be the same as if he/she had been recommended for promotion by the mandatory board. The officer's DOR will be the date he/she attains the maximum TIG or the date on which assigned to a higher grade position, whichever, is earlier.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:
1. The applicant attained the maximum TIG on her promotion eligibility date of 26 March 2002 and was assigned to a higher-grade position on 7 October 2002.
2. Accordingly, her DOR for promotion to the rank of colonel should be corrected to reflect 26 March 2002, vice 7 October 2002, and an effective date of 7 October 2002.

This memorandum authorized the applicant’s promotion to MAJ and established her DOR as 27 January 2000. As a result, her record was referred to a STAB and she was considered and selected for promotion to MAJ under the criteria established for the 1998 promotion board. However, during the processing of this case, these same promotion officials determined that the 31 August 1998 date was in error, and that the applicant’s promotion date to MAJ should have actually been established as 30...

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...

The applicant states that he was promoted to captain effective 1 March 2002; however; his eligibility date for promotion to captain was 24 March 2001, which should have been adjusted one year according to ROPMA.
