THE APPLICANT'S REQUEST, STATEMENT, AND EVIDENCE:
1. The applicant requests that his date of rank (DOR) for promotion to the rank of major be adjusted to 28 February 1998.
2. The applicant states, in effect, that his promotion was delayed through an administrative error and he was promoted on 28 April 1998. However, had the error not occurred, he would have been promoted on 28 February 1998, the date indicated on his notification of promotion. He goes on to state that he was informed that there was no record of a medical (physical) examination on file so his promotion was delayed. He further states that he provided a copy by Telefax; however his promotion was still overlooked. He eventually had to contact the two appropriate offices to get his promotion effected, albeit late.
3. The applicant provides a copy of his notification of promotion status, his actual promotion memorandum, and a copy of his medical examination.
CONSIDERATION OF EVIDENCE:
1. He was commissioned as a United States Army Reserve (USAR) second lieutenant on 24 May 1986 and was ordered to active duty on 11 September 1986. He was promoted to the rank of captain on 1 March 1991 and served as an infantry officer until he was honorably released from active duty on 1 August 1995, under the provisions of Army Regulation 635-100, chapter 3 and the Voluntary Early Release Program and Special Separation Benefit (SSB). He had served 8 years, 10 months and 21 days of total active service and received a SSB payment of $49,324.71. He was transferred to the USAR Control Group (Reinforcement).
2. On 6 June 1997, a Notification of Promotion Status was forwarded to the applicant which congratulated the applicant on his selection for promotion to the rank of major, to be effective 28 February 1998.
3. On 28 April 1998, a Promotion Memorandum was published by the Total Army Personnel Command in St. Louis, Missouri, which promoted the applicant to the rank of major with an effective date and DOR of 28 April 1998.
4. In the processing of this application an advisory opinion was obtained from the Total Army Personnel Command Office of Promotions, Reserve Components, which opined that the applicant met the maximum time in grade for promotion to the rank of major on 28 February 1998 and recommended that his DOR be adjusted to that date, which was later than the date the board was approved (27 August 1997).
5. The advisory opinion was provided to the applicant who concurred with the opinion and requested that his records be placed before the promotion selection board for promotion to lieutenant colonel.
6. Army Regulation 135-155 provides policy and procedures for the selection and promotion of commissioned officers of the USAR. It provides, in pertinent part, that a non-unit officer's effective date and date of promotion will be the approval date of the board or the date the officer meets maximum time in grade, whichever is later.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:
1. The applicant was selected for promotion to the rank of major with an effective date and DOR of 28 February 1998; however, an administrative error delayed his promotion until 28 April 1998.
2. Accordingly, it would be in the interest of justice to correct his records at this time to show that he was promoted to the rank of major effective 28 February 1998 with a DOR of 28 February 1998.
3. Additionally, in the event the applicant is eligible for consideration for promotion to the rank of lieutenant colonel, his records should be placed before a Special Selection Board for promotion consideration, if eligible in accordance with the applicable regulations governing promotion consideration by a Special Selection Board.

In her rebuttal, the applicant states that the CGSOC is not a requirement for promotion to lieutenant colonel for Army nurses and that she only wanted to attend the CGSOC to make herself more competitive for promotion. There were four OERs in the applicant’s records at the time that she was considered for promotion in May 2003 which were not corrected until June 2006. As a result, the Board recommends that all Department of the Army records of the individual concerned be corrected by: a....

He was promoted to captain with an effective date and date of rank of 1 April 1999, based on his selection by the 1999 RCSB. There is also no evidence the...

The applicant requests, in effect, that his date of rank (DOR) to major be adjusted, that he be promoted to lieutenant colonel, and that he be paid back pay. That office recommends that the applicant's record be forwarded to a Special Selection Board (SSB) for promotion to major under the 1997 promotion criteria. The opinion states that the Army National Guard should have advised the applicant at the time of his initial appointment to request a SSB for promotion to major.

Current promotion policy specifies that promotion reconsideration by a Standby Advisory Board (STAB) and/or 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. The Board also notes that based on the correction to his DOR’s for captain and major and for the applicant to receive the earliest promotion consideration for lieutenant colonel, it would now be appropriate to submit his records for...

The result would have been that he would have been promoted to Colonel prior to the conduct of the 2003 Mandatory Promotion Board from Lieutenant Colonel to Colonel. The applicant believes his discussion that was provided to the ABCMR in response to the unfavorable opinion submitted to this Board from the National Guard Bureau shows that the ABCMR should now grant full relief to his request for promotion to colonel. There is no evidence of record, and the applicant has failed to provide...
