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

	Mr. Carl W. S. Chun		Director	
	Ms. Stephanie Thompkins		Analyst	

  The following members, a quorum, were present:

	Ms. Margaret K. Patterson		Chairperson	
	Mr. Ronald E. Blakely		Member	
	Mr. Frank C. Jones, II		Member	

	The applicant and counsel if any, did not appear before the Board.

	The Board considered the following evidence:

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

FINDINGS:

1.  The applicant has exhausted or the Board has waived the requirement for exhaustion of all administrative remedies afforded by existing law or regulations.

2.  The applicant requests, in effect, promotion consideration to chief warrant officer four (CW4).  

3.  The applicant states that in her computer personnel records “Current Promotion Status” field, no code letter was entered in the date field to identify her records to the 2000 Reserve Components Selection Board (RCSB).

4.  Based upon review of the applicant’s records by the Office of Promotions, Reserve Components, Total Army Personnel Command, it was determined the applicant was erroneously not considered and is eligible for consideration for promotion to CW4 by a Standby Advisory Board (STAB) under 2000 criteria.

5.  Current promotion policy specifies that promotion reconsideration by a STAB may only be based on erroneous non-consideration or material error that existed in the record at the time of consideration.

CONCLUSIONS:

1.  The applicant’s records were erroneously not considered for promotion to CW4 by the 2000 RCSB and should now be submitted for appropriate STAB consideration for this purpose.

2.  In view of the foregoing findings and conclusions, it would be appropriate to correct the applicant’s records as recommended below.

RECOMMENDATION:

1.  That all of the Department of the Army records related to this case be corrected by submitting the records of the individual concerned to a duly constituted STAB as deemed appropriate for promotion consideration for CW4 under 2000 criteria.

2.  That if selected, her records be further corrected by showing she was promoted to the next higher grade on her date of eligibility therefore, as determined by appropriate Departmental officials using the criteria cited, provided she was otherwise qualified and met all other prerequisites for promotion.

3.  That if not selected, the applicant be so notified.
