RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2014-01656

		 	COUNSEL:  NONE

			HEARING DESIRED:  NO


APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His two non-selections for promotion to the grade of major while 
assigned to the Individual Ready Reserve (IRR) be removed.


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He was unaware that he was being considered for promotion while 
assigned to the IRR.  He loved serving his country while in the 
Regular Air Force and now he has an opportunity to serve in the 
Air National Guard (ANG).

In support of his request, the applicant provides a personal 
statement, copies of a letter of support from an ANG commander; 
and various other documents associated with his request.

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


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

On 27 September 2001, the applicant entered active duty.

On 30 September 2011, the applicant was honorably discharged 
from the Air Force.  His narrative reason for separation is 
“Non-Selection, Permanent Promotion.” He served 10 years and 
4 days of active service.

According to Reserve Order PC-00248 dated 28 November 2011, the 
applicant was assigned to the Nonobligated Nonparticipating 
Ready Personnel Section (NNRPS) effective 1 November 2011.

On 13 March 2013, the applicant was notified that he was not 
recommended for promotion by the Reserve of the Air Force 
Selection Board and would be retained as a member of the Reserve 
until 30 September 2014, the date of expiration of his Special 
Separation Benefit Program contract.

?
According to Reserve Order DA-00256 dated 17 December 2013, the 
applicant was again assigned to the NNRPS effective 26 November 
2013. 


THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

ARPC/PB recommends denial.  The applicant has not presented any 
evidence to prove the boards acted contrary to law or 
regulation, or that his record contained any errors when 
considered by the boards.  The applicant was considered, but not 
selected, by the calendar year 2012 and 2013 Nonparticipating 
Reserve Major Promotion Selection Boards.  When considered by 
these boards, the applicant was assigned to the NNRPS.  The 
promotion quota for Nonparticipating Reserve Promotion Boards is 
one (1).

Although members in this Reserve section are not in a 
participating status, in accordance with Title 10 USC, § 14301, 
all officers on the Reserve Active Status List must be 
considered for promotion when eligible.  Each nonparticipating 
candidate is notified and provided an Officer Pre-selection 
Brief by mail approximately four months prior to each promotion 
board.  A board convening notice is also posted to the MyPers 
website announcing each board.

The complete PB evaluation is at Exhibit C.


APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

On 27 June 2014, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was 
forwarded to the applicant 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.  Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to 
demonstrate the existence of error or 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 the 
rationale expressed 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.
