IN THE CASE OF:
BOARD DATE: 22 July 2014
DOCKET NUMBER: AR20140007088
THE BOARD CONSIDERED THE FOLLOWING EVIDENCE:
1. Application for correction of military records (with supporting documents provided, if any).
2. Military Personnel Records and advisory opinions (if any).
THE APPLICANT'S REQUEST, STATEMENT, AND EVIDENCE:
1. The applicant requests, in effect, correction of her Official Military Personal File (OMPF) by determining whether she was properly considered for promotion to sergeant first class, pay grade E-7 (SFC/E-7) for the fiscal years 2003 through 2009.
2. The applicant states she believes she should have been considered for promotion to SFC/E-7 under the promotion criteria for each fiscal year from 2003 through 2009. She thinks that an erroneous coding of her military status precluded her promotion consideration. She further wants to know the reasons why her records were not considered by a standby promotion board in October 2013 as promised by the Chief, Department of the Army Promotions Branch.
3. The applicant provides the following documentation:
* (Enclosure 1): Copies of a previous Army Review Boards Agency report with supporting documentation (She requested this earlier case to be withdrawn.)
* (Enclosure 2): Email communications and memoranda between the applicant and the U.S. Army Human Resources Command (HRC), Senior Promotions, dated 21 February through 28 February 2014
CONSIDERATION OF EVIDENCE:
1. At the time of the applicants application, she was serving on active duty in the Regular Army as a staff sergeant, pay grade E-6.
2. Records show the applicant was promoted to staff sergeant, pay grade E-6 with an effective date and date of rank of 1 July 2000.
3. Records at Promotions Branch, HRC show that the applicant was considered and not selected for promotion to SFC/E-7 under the criteria of each fiscal year between 2003 and 2013 to include two Headquarters, Department of the Army (HQDA) Standby Advisory Boards (STAB) for fiscal years 2008 and 2010. On 28 February 2014, HRC informed her by letter of her non-selection by the STAB to SFC/E-7.
4. A review of the promotion board records at HRC failed to locate the necessary documents to determine what the eligibility criteria was for the Fiscal Year 2003 promotion board for SFC/E-7.
5. Army Regulation (AR) 600-8-19 (Enlisted Promotions and Reductions) prescribes policies and procedures governing promotion and reduction of Army enlisted personnel. A centralized promotion system has been in effect for promotion of enlisted Soldiers since 1 June 1970 for SFC. The criteria for primary and secondary zones of consideration for promotion to SFC will be announced by the Commander, HRC, before each board. Soldiers must meet the announced date of rank, basic active service date, and/or pay entry basic date requirements and other eligibility criteria prescribed by HRC. Staff sergeants must have at least 6 years of total active Federal service (total Federal service for USAR) for SFC. They must have a high school diploma or GED equivalent, or an associate or higher degree. They cannot be barred from reenlistment under provisions of AR 601280 or denied continued active duty service under AR 635200. They cannot be ineligible to reenlist because of a declination of continued service statement, retirement, or court-martial. They must be a graduate of the Basic Noncommissioned Officers Course, or a higher level course in the Noncommissioned Officers Education System.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:
1. The applicant contends, in effect, that her OMPF should be corrected by determining whether she was properly considered for promotion to SFC/E-7 for the fiscal years 2003 through 2009.
2. The available evidence shows that the applicants records have been considered under the appropriate selection criteria for each fiscal year from 2003 through 2013. Unfortunately, she was not selected by any of these boards for promotion to SFC/E-7.
3. There is no evidence substantiating the applicants contention that an erroneous coding of her military status may have been the cause for any of her non-selections for promotion to SFC/E-7.
4. In view of the above, the applicant's request should be denied.
