ADDENDUM TO RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS

IN THE MATTER OF: 			DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-01520-2
			
						COUNSEL:  NONE
						
HEARING DESIRED:  NO

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

1.  His Date of Rank (DOR) to the grade of Lieutenant Colonel (Lt Col) be changed to 10 Feb 13.

2.  His Promotion Effective Date (PED) to the grade of Lt Col be changed to 17 Jul 13.

RESUME OF CASE:

On 30 Sep 15, the Air Force Board for Correction of Military Records (Board) denied the applicant’s request to correct his DOR to 10 Feb 13 and his PED to 12 Jun 13.  The applicant provided a memorandum, signed by the Utah Air National Guard Military Personnel Management Officer, stating that an administrative error prevented the applicant’s February 2013 promotion package going forward for federal recognition after a state board had found him qualified.  However, the applicant did not provide the actual state promotion order from the promotion package in question.  The Board determined it was beyond their authority to grant the application without such a promotion order, since state promotion is an essential precursor to federal recognition.  For more information, including the full rationale of the earlier decision by the Board, see the Record of Proceedings at Exhibit G.

By application dated 8 Dec 15, the applicant submits a request for reconsideration in which he reiterates some of his original contentions.  He also provides a copy of Utah Air National Guard Special Order AD – 018, dated 10 Feb 13, which promoted the applicant to the grade of lieutenant colonel, “effective upon approval of Federal Recognition.”

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

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

After reviewing all Exhibits, the Board concludes the applicant has presented evidence sufficient to demonstrate an error requiring correction.  In particular, the applicant has provided Utah Air National Guard Special Order AD – 018, dated 10 Feb 13, which is sufficient to overcome the rationale expressed in the previous decision of the Board.  Regarding the applicant’s PED, while the applicant asserts a PED of 17 Jul 13, the Office of Primary Responsibility has confirmed a PED of 6 Jun 13, the date the Secretary of Defense approved the March 2013 scroll.  Therefore, the Board recommends correcting the applicant’s records as indicated below.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:

The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force relating to the APPLICANT be corrected to show that his date of rank to the grade of lieutenant colonel is 10 February 2013 rather than 22 October 2013, with a promotion effective date of 6 June 2013 rather than 27 February 2014.
