APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His date of rank (DOR) to major (O-4) be adjusted from 1 January 2013 to 15 April 2012, his six-year anniversary date.  
________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

His DOR to the grade of major (O-4) was miscalculated and has cost him eight months of time in service and back pay.  

In support of his appeal the applicant provides a copy of his Air Force Officer Pre-selection Brief.  

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

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant is a Dental Corps Officer currently serving in the Regular Air Force in the grade of major.  

He was previously promoted to the grade of captain (O-3) with a DOR of 15 April 2006.  He was selected the first time considered - In the Promotion Zone 
(IPZ), for promotion to major by the Calendar Year 2012 (CY12) Major Dental Corps Promotion Board with a DOR of 1 January 2013.  

The remaining relevant facts, extracted from the applicant’s official military service record, are contained in the evaluation prepared by the Air Force 
office of primary responsibility at Exhibit C.   
________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSO recommends denial.  DPSO indicates that Air Force 
Instruction 36-2501, paragraph A2.4. Eligibility for Promotion 
of Medical Corps/Dental Corps Officers, states members who are 
selected for promotion IPZ, should be promoted on the sixth 
anniversary of their current DOR, or on Senate confirmation of 
the promotion, whichever is later.  

In the applicant’s case, the Senate did not confirm his 
promotion board results until 1 January 2013 resulting in his 
DOR being 1 January 2013 vice 15 April 2012.  

The complete DPSO evaluation, with attachment, is at Exhibit C.

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the 
applicant on 13 January 2013 for review and comment within 
30 days (Exhibit D).  As of this date, this office has received 
no response.

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 an error or an 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 its rationale 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
