IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2018-00444

XXXXXXXXXXXXX	COUNSEL:  NONE
	
	HEARING:  NO

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His Date of Rank (DOR) be corrected from 1 Apr 17 to 1 Feb 17.

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

The Air Force (AF) Form 4364, Record of Promotion Delay Resolution, signed by his commander, set the adjusted DOR to 1 Feb 17.   He was issued an Officer Performance Report for the period 7 Mar 16 - 6 Mar 17 that reflects he met standards; therefore, in accordance with Air Force Instruction (AFI) 36-2501, Officer Promotions and Selective Continuation, and without explanation from the Secretary of the Air Force (SecAF) for the adjusted 1 Apr 17 DOR, he should be promoted without further delay.  The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant is a currently serving Air Force Lieutenant Colonel.  For more information, see the excerpt of the applicant’s record at Exhibit B and the advisory at Exhibit C.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DP2SP recommends denying the application. In accordance with AFI 36-2501, notwithstanding the commander’s recommendation, SecAF (or designee) may promote an officer on his or her original effective date; promote an officer with a date of rank adjustment; extend the officer’s promotion delay; or remove an officer from the promotion list.  The complete advisory is at Exhibit C.

APPLICANT’S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

The Board sent a copy of the Air Force evaluation to the applicant on 13 Sep 18 for comment (Exhibit D), but has received no response.

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

1.  The application was timely filed.

2.  The applicant exhausted all available avenues of non-judicial relief before applying to the Board.

3.   After thoroughly reviewing all Exhibits, it is the Board’s opinion the applicant is not the victim of an error or injustice.  The Board concurs with the rationale and recommendation of AFPC/DP2SP and finds a preponderance of the evidence does not substantiate the applicant’s contentions.  Therefore, the Board recommends against correcting the applicant’s records.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:

The applicant be informed the evidence did not demonstrate material error or injustice, and the application will only be reconsidered upon receipt of relevant evidence not already considered by the Board.
