RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-03196
	XXXXXXX	COUNSEL:  NONE
		HEARING DESIRED:  NO

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

1.  Her Date of Rank (DOR) to the grade of lieutenant colonel be 
changed to 14 Jul 12 rather than 12 Nov 12.

2.  Her effective date of promotion to the grade of lieutenant 
colonel be changed to 5 Nov 12 rather than 17 Apr 13.  

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

Due to an administrative error the State forwarded the position 
vacancy promotion request on 5 Jul 12, which was never received 
by the National Guard Bureau (NGB/A1PO).  This oversight caused 
the promotion to be omitted from the Aug 12, Position Vacancy 
List to the grade of lieutenant colonel.  If the promotion 
recommendation had been received in a timely manner her name 
would have been submitted to the Aug 12, Position Vacancy List 
approved by Secretary of Defense on 5 Nov 12.

In support of her appeal, the applicant provides copies of a 
letter from her unit personnel superintendent and her commander; 
copies of promotion orders, and her promotion recommendation 
package for a position vacancy promotion.  

The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at 
Exhibit A.

________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

On 13 Jul 07, the applicant was appointed as a captain in the 
Mississippi Air National Guard (MSANG).

The applicant was promoted to the grade of major with a Date of 
Rank (DOR) of 13 Jul 08 and a promotion effective date of 28 Oct 
08.

The applicant was promoted to the grade of lieutenant colonel 
with a DOR of 12 Nov 12 and a promotion effective date of 17 Apr 
13.

________________________________________________________________

THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

NGB/A1PO recommends approval.  The applicant was originally 
boarded for promotion on 14 Jul 12; however, her promotion was 
not submitted to NGB/A1PO in a timely manner due to an 
administrative error.  She was required to be re-boarded for 
promotion and was eventually processed for promotion on a later 
list, and promoted effective 17 Apr 13. 

If NGB/A1PO had received the original promotion request, they 
would have promoted the applicant with a DOR of 14 Jul 12 and a 
Promotion Effective Date of 5 Nov 12 (the date that the Aug 
12 ANG Position Vacancy list was approved). 

The complete A1PO evaluation is at Exhibit C.  

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the 
applicant on 6 Sep 13 for review and comment within 30 days.  As 
of this date, no response has been received by this office 
(Exhibit D).

________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

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

2.  The application was timely filed.

3.  Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to 
demonstrate the existence of error or injustice warranting 
corrective action.  The Air Force office of primary 
responsibility has adequately addressed the issues presented by 
the applicant and we are in agreement with their opinion and 
recommendation.  Therefore, we recommend the applicant’s record 
be corrected as indicated below.

________________________________________________________________


THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:

The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air 
Force relating to APPLICANT, be corrected to show a Date of Rank 
(DOR) in the grade of lieutenant colonel (O-5) of
