MEMORANDUM OF CONSIDERATION

	IN THE CASE OF:   

	BOARD DATE:           2 November 2000                   
	DOCKET NUMBER:   AR2000041945

	I certify that hereinafter is recorded the record of consideration of the Army Board for Correction of Military Records in the case of the above-named individual.

	Mr. Carl W. S. Chun		Director	
	Mrs. Nancy Amos		Analyst	

  The following members, a quorum, were present:

	Mr. Fred N. Eichorn		Chairperson	
	Mr. Ted S. Kanamine		Member	
	Mr. William D. Barr		Member	

	The Board, established pursuant to authority contained in 10 U.S.C. 1552, convened at the call of the Chairperson on the above date.  In accordance with Army Regulation 15-185, the application and the available military records pertinent to the corrective action requested were reviewed to determine whether to authorize a formal hearing, recommend that the records be corrected without a formal hearing, or to deny the application without a formal hearing if it is determined that insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the existence of probable material error or injustice.

	The applicant requests correction of military records as stated in the application to the Board and as restated herein.

	The Board considered the following evidence:

	Exhibit A - Application for correction of military 
                records
	Exhibit B - Military Personnel Records (including
	            advisory opinion, if any)

APPLICANT REQUESTS:  That his records be reconsidered for promotion to colonel, O-6.

APPLICANT STATES:  That not all pertinent data was included on the microfiche considered by the 1997, 1998 and 1999 promotion boards.  He provides no supporting evidence.

EVIDENCE OF RECORD:  The applicant's military records are not available.

In the processing of this case, an advisory opinion was obtained from the U. S. Total Army Personnel Command, Office of Promotions, Reserve Components.  That office stated that the applicant’s file contained all of his pertinent documents when it was viewed by the 1996, 1997, 1998 and 1999 Department of the Army Reserve Components Selection Board.  

A copy of the advisory opinion was provided to the applicant.  He did not respond within the given time frame.

DISCUSSION:  Considering all the evidence, allegations, and information presented by the applicant, together with the evidence of record, applicable law and regulations, it is concluded:

1.  In order to justify correction of a military record the applicant must show to the satisfaction of the Board, or it must otherwise satisfactorily appear, that the record is in error or unjust.  The applicant has failed to submit evidence that would satisfy this requirement.

2.  The applicant provides no evidence in support of his contentions and provides no specific explanation of what was missing and, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, the Board presumes that his files contained all of his pertinent documents when viewed by the applicable promotion boards.

3.  In view of the foregoing, there is no basis for granting the applicant's request.

DETERMINATION:  The applicant has failed to submit sufficient relevant evidence to demonstrate the existence of probable error or injustice.

BOARD VOTE:
