Pursuant to the provisions of reference (a), Subject, hereinafter referred to as Petitioner, filed enclosure (1) with this Board requesting, in effect, that the applicable naval record be corrected to show the lineal position, date of rank, and effective date in the grade of lieutenant commander he would have been assigned had he been selected for promotion to that grade by the Fiscal Year (FY) 06 Reserve Line Lieutenant Commander Selection Board, which he missed, vice the FY 07 Reserve Line Lieutenant Commander Selection Board. He has a current lieutenant commander date of rank and effective date of 1 October
2006.
