RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-04633 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NO APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: His two non-selections for promotion to the grade of major be deleted. APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: He wants his records corrected so that he may interview with the 103rd Airlift Wing. They have an open position that he cannot be interviewed for because he was twice deferred or passed over for promotion. He was not notified that he had previously met a promotion board, and was under the assumption that his first board would be in Jan 2013. The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A. STATEMENT OF FACTS: The applicant initially entered the Air Force Reserve on 9 Sep 96. On 2 Jul 08, the applicant was transferred to the Inactive Status List Reserve Section (ISLRS). On 1 Oct 13, the applicant was honorably discharge, and was credited with 11 years, 4 months, and 24 days of service. The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are contained in the memoranda prepared by the Air Force office of primary responsibility (OPR), which is included at Exhibit C. AIR FORCE EVALUATION: ARPC/PB recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of an error or an injustice. The applicant was properly considered by the Fiscal Year (FY) 2009 USAFR Non-participating Reserve (NPR) promotion selection board prior to being assigned to ISLRS. Although members in Non-obligated Non-participating Ready Personnel Section (NNRPS) are not in a participating status, they are considered to be on the Reserve Active Status (RASL). In accordance with Title 10 United States Code, Section 14301, all officers on the RASL must be considered for promotion when eligible. In accordance with AFI 36-2504, Officer Promotion, Continuation and Selective Early Removal in the Reserve of the Air Force, the ARPC Board Support Branch notifies all nonparticipating candidates of their promotion eligibility. It is the eligible officer’s responsibility to ensure their record is correct and up-to-date before the convening of the selection board. The applicant was not considered by the Calendar Year (CY) 2012 USAFR Participating Reserve (PR) promotion selection board as stated in his application. The applicant’s second non-selection occurred as a result of his non-selection by the CY13 USAF PR Line and Non-line Major Promotion Selection board which convened on 14 Jan 13. No evidence was found, nor has the applicant presented any evidence to prove either board acted contrary to law or regulation, or that his record contained any errors when considered by the boards. A complete copy of the ARPC/PB evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit C. APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: In support of his response, the applicant provides a letter of support from the commander of a Civil Air Patrol (CAP) detachment and a copy of Title 10 United States Code, Section 14301 amendment which is slated to pass in FY16. 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 error or injustice. The applicant’s contentions are duly noted; however, we find no evidence showing that the applicant’s separation is contrary to governing policies and law. While we are not unsympathetic to the applicant’s circumstances, in the absence of evidence indicating he was treated differently than others who are similarly situated, we agree with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force office of primary responsibility and adopt the rationale expressed as the basis for our decision that the applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice. Should the law and governing policies change, the applicant could request reconsideration on that basis at that time. Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no basis to recommend granting the requested relief. THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT: The applicant be notified the evidence presented did not demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; the application was denied without a personal appearance; and the application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this application.
