IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2013-05647
		
	  		COUNSEL:  NONE

			HEARING DESIRED:  NO


________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Her Promotion Effective Date (PED) and Date of Rank (DOR) be backdated to the April 2013 Promotion Board results.
________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

Due to an administrative error during a period of transition, NGB/A1PO did not process her promotion package in time for the 
April Promotion Board.  Due to this error, her promotion package was not considered until the August Promotion Board.

The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant is a member of the Air National Guard.  Pursuant to Special Order AJ-0108, dated 14 April 2013, she was promoted to the grade of major.
________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

NGB/A1PO recommends approval.  The applicant was originally boarded for promotion on 14 April 2013, but her promotion package 
was not processed correctly by NGB/A1PO due to an administrative error.  She was required to be re-boarded for promotion and was 
eventually boarded on 1 July 2013.  She was promoted effective 5 November 2013, on the August 2013 ANG Vacancy list.

Had her original promotion request been processed, she would have been placed on the May 2013 ANG Position Vacancy list and promoted 
to major with a DOR of 14 April 2013 and a PED of 30 September 2013, the date the May 2013 ANG Position Vacancy list was approved.  

Her DOR should be changed from 1 July 2013 to 14 April 2013 and her PED changed from 5 November 2013 to 30 September 2013.

A complete copy of the NGB/A1PO evaluation is at Exhibit B.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 5 September 2014 (Exhibit C) for review and comment within 
30 days.  As of this date, no response has been received by this office.
________________________________________________________________

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 an error.  We took notice of the applicant's 
complete submission in judging the merits of the case and agree with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force office of 
primary responsibility and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion that the applicant’s promotion was delayed due to 
an administrative error beyond her control.  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 the APPLICANT be corrected to show that she was 
promoted to the grade of major, with a Date of Rank (DOR) of 14 April 2013, rather than 1 July 2013 and a Promotion Effective 
Date (PED) of 30 September 2013, rather than 5 November 2013.
