RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2015-02973 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NO APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: His non-selection by the CY13 United States Air Force Reserve (USAFR) Non-participating Reserve (NPR) Line Major Promotion Selection Board be removed from his record. APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: Due to his nonparticipating status (six years), his official record did not have much information in terms of yearly performance reports, etc., for the promotion board to consider. Additionally, he was made aware of pending legislation which will remove the requirement for individuals in nonparticipating status to meet promotion boards. In support of his request, he elaborates on his activities during his nonparticipation status, and his performance since going on active, participating status. Also, he provides copies of his OPRs covering the time periods 2004 through 2007, and a letter of support from his current squadron commander. The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A. STATEMENT OF FACTS: The applicant initially entered the Regular Air Force on 23 May 03. On 15 Jan 06, the applicant was furnished an honorable discharge, and was credited with 2 years, 7 months, and 23 days of active service, and transferred the Air Force Reserve. On 29 Dec 07, the applicant was relieved from his Reserve assignment with the Air Force Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Agency (AFISRA), and assigned to HQ Air Reserve Personnel Center. On 11 Jan 08, the applicant was assigned to the Non-obligated Non-participating Ready Personnel Section (NNRPS) for at least a period of two years before being discharged or assigned to the Inactive Status List Reserve Section (ISLRS). On 27 Apr 13 the applicant was reassigned from the NNRPS to the Inactive Status List Reserve Section (ISLRS) per Reserve Order HB-000932 dated 30 Apr 13. As of 24 Aug 14, the applicant has returned to active, participating status as an Intelligence Officer assigned to an Air Force Reserve unit at McChord AFB, WA. The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are contained in the memorandum prepared by the Air Force office of primary responsibility (OPR), which is attached at Exhibit C. AIR FORCE EVALUATION: ARPC/PB recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of an error or an injustice. They could not find any evidence, nor did the applicant present any evidence, to prove the CY13 USAFR Non-participating Reserve (NPR) Line Major Promotion Selection Board acted contrary to law or regulation, or that his record contained any errors when considered by the promotion board. His military personnel records revealed he completed his obligated service and was properly assigned to Non-obligated Non-participating Ready Personnel Section (NNRPS) on 11 Jan 08. In accordance with Title 10 USC, Section 14301, all officers on the Reserve Active-Status List (RASL) must be considered for promotion when eligible. Although members assigned to NNRPS are not in a participating status, they are on the RASL and must be considered for promotion, when eligible. The applicant was properly assigned to the NNRPS when the CY13 USAFR NPR Line Major Promotion Selection Board convened on 14 Jan 13. The quota the Secretary of the Air Force established for the 14 Jan 13 USAFR NPR board was 1. There were 806 individuals who met the FY13 USAFR NPR Line Major Promotion Selection Board. Although the Air Force has attempted since calendar year 2000 to change the law to exclude individuals assigned to NNRPS from promotion consideration, the FY16 National Defense Authorization Act Conference Report contains no such provisions. A complete copy of the ARPC/PB evaluation is at Exhibit C. APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 10 Dec 15 for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit D). As of this date, no response has been received by this office. 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 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 (OPR) and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion the applicant has not been the victim of an error of injustice. 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.
