AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBERS: BC-2008-03866 

INDEX CODE: 100.05 

COUNSEL: NONE 

 

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

His date of rank (DOR) to the grade of captain be changed from 
1 October 2008 to 15 June 2008. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

He was appointed in the Minnesota Air National Guard (ANG) on 
1 July 2007, after the Fiscal Year 2008 (FY08) Captain’s 
Promotion List was closed out on 1 May 2007. If he had been 
appointed in the ANG prior to 1 May 2007, he would have been able 
to be placed on the FY08 Captain’s Promotion List based on his 
DOR of 15 June 2006. He was not selected for promotion while on 
active duty since he had a Palace Chase separation pending in the 
system. 

 

The applicant provides no evidence in support of his appeal. 

 

The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

The applicant is currently a member of the ANG serving in the 
grade of captain with a date of rank of 1 October 2008. 

 

The remaining relevant facts are included in the Air Force 
advisory opinion at Exhibit B.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

NGB/A1PS recommends denial of the applicant’s request for 
changing his DOR to captain. A1PS concurs with the subject 
matter expert (NGB/A1POP). A1POP indicates the applicant was 
appointed in the ANG on 1 July 2007, after the FY08 Captain’s 
Promotion List was finalized and began processing for approval. 
Therefore, the first time he was eligible to be placed on the 
list was the FY09 First-Half Captain’s Promotion List. He was 



placed on this list and was given a promotion date of 1 October 
2008. A1POP indicates that while it was unfortunate the 
applicant was not able to be processed for promotion by the Air 
Force prior to him being transferred to the ANG, and that he was 
not appointed in the ANG in time to be placed on the FY08 
Captain’s Promotion List; his promotion was processed correctly 
by the ANG. 

 

The A1PS evaluation, with attachment, is at Exhibit B.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant 
on 18 December 2009, for review and comment within 30 days. As 
of this date, this office has received no response. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT: 

 

1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing 
law or regulations. 

 

2. The application was timely filed. 

 

3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to 
demonstrate the existence of an error or an injustice. We took 
notice of the applicant's complete submission in judging the 
merits of the case; however, we agree with the opinion and 
recommendation of the Air Force office of primary responsibility 
and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion the 
applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice. 
Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no 
basis to recommend granting the relief sought in this 
application. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT: 

 

The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not 
demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; that 
the application was denied without a personal appearance; and 
that the application will only be reconsidered upon the 
submission of newly discovered relevant evidence not considered 
with this application.
