BOARD DATE: 21 October 2014
DOCKET NUMBER: AR20140015426
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 inclusion of an Officer Evaluation Report (OER) into his official military personnel file (OMPF).
2. The applicant states his records are missing an OER for the period 19971001 to 19980930. He had a component change from Active component (AC) to Active Guard Reserve (AGR) U.S. Army Reserve (USAR); this was the first evaluation after that transition. He has been trying to get this corrected for some time without avail. He served with AC units while he was AGR, and the S1 staff seemed to never have access to the USAR personnel systems to correct the issue.
3. The applicant provides copies of a 1 September 2010 memorandum and the OER in question.
CONSIDERATION OF EVIDENCE:
1. With prior enlisted service, the applicant was commissioned a second lieutenant in the USAR on 27 January 1994.
2. The last OER included in his official record is for the period 19970301 - 19970930.
3. He served on active duty for 3 years, 9 months, and 12 days before transferring to the USAR Control Group (Reinforcement) on 8 November 1997.
4. An OER was prepared and completed for the period 1 October 1997 through 30 September 1998, which includes two short non-rated periods. The applicant was marked with a "1" in all categories. A copy of this OER is not included in his official records.
5. Statement of Service - for Computation of Length of Service for Pay Purposes shows his service as USAR on active duty (AGR) from 9 November 1997 through 6 August 2003.
6. His official file shows he qualified for Reserve retirement and was issued a Notification of Eligibility for Retired Pay at Age 60 (Twenty-Year Letter) on 7 February 2008.
7. He was promoted to lieutenant colonel in the USAR Control Group (AGR) effective 3 January 2011.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:
1. The official record does not contain the subject OER after his release from active duty in 1997.
2. It is appropriate to correct the lack of inclusion of the OER in question to reflect the applicant's complete service.
