2.  She states her promotion orders show her new date of rank as 1 November 2011.

3.  She provides:

CONSIDERATION OF EVIDENCE:

3. On 1 November 2011, she was released from active duty and transferred to the U.S. Army Reserve (USAR).  The DD Form 214 she was issued shows in:

	a.  Item 4a the entry CPT;

	b.  item 4b (Pay Grade) the entry O03; and 

	c.  item 12i (Effective Date of Pay Grade) the entry 1 September 2005.

4.  She is currently serving in the USAR in the grade of MAJ.  Section III (Service Data) of her ORB shows her date of rank to MAJ as 1 November 2011. 
5.  Army Regulation 350-100 (Officer Active Service Obligations), paragraph 2-5 states in pertinent part that a commissioned officer who accepts a promotion does not incur an active duty service obligation. 
6.  Army Regulation 635-5 (Personnel Separations - Separation Documents), in effect at the time, provided instructions for the preparation of the DD Form 214.  The regulation states, in pertinent part, that items 4a, 4b, and 12i would list the rank, pay grade, and the effective date of the individual's promotion or reduction to the rank and pay grade in which the individual was serving on the effective date of separation.
   
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:
