4. The applicant’s military records show that he was appointed in the Reserve as a second lieutenant effective 24 July 1970.
5. He attained the rank of lieutenant colonel effective 1 May 1990.
6. Based upon review of the applicant’s records by the Office of Promotions, Reserve Components, Total Army Personnel Command, it was determined that the applicant’s official military personnel file (OMPF) contained material error when he was considered and non-selected for promotion to colonel by the 1996 Reserve Components Selection Board (RCSB).
7. He was separated from the USAR effective 31 August 1998 and transferred to the Retired Reserve.
8. Current promotion policy specifies that promotion reconsideration by a special selection board (SSB) may only be based on erroneous non-consideration or material error that existed in the record at the time of consideration.
CONCLUSIONS:
1. The applicant’s records contained material error when reviewed for promotion to colonel by the 1996 RCSB and should now be submitted to an SSB for promotion reconsideration.
2. In view of the foregoing findings and conclusions, it would be appropriate to correct the applicant’s records as recommended below.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. That all of the Department of the Army records related to this case be corrected by showing an updated and completed record to include all officer evaluation reports of the individual concerned on his OMPF.
2. That following administrative implementation of the foregoing, his records be submitted to a duly constituted SSB, as appropriate.
3. That if selected, his records be further corrected by showing he was promoted to the next higher grade on his date of eligibility therefore, as determined by appropriate Departmental officials using the criteria cited, provided he was otherwise qualified and met all other prerequisites for promotion.
4. That if the applicant was selected and previously separated, his records be further corrected to show:
a. that his transfer to the Retired Reserve, is void, and of no force or effect, that he was credited with qualifying service for Reserve retirement for his respective retirement years, from the dates of his now-voided transfer to the Retired Reserve to the date of his return to the Ready Reserve;
b. that an adequate explanation be placed in his official personnel files to show that the gap in his officer evaluation reports, from the dates of his now-voided transfer to the Retired Reserve to the date of return to the Ready Reserve, was not caused by any fault on his part, and to insure that he is not prejudiced thereby in the consideration of any future personnel actions; and
c. that all documents related to his now-voided non-selection for promotion, and his transfer to the Retired Reserve be expunged from his official military records.
5. That if not selected, the applicant be so notified.
