Who is eligible for standby advisory board?

Answer 1

Reconsideration normally will be granted when one or more of the following conditions existed on the performance microfiche of a Soldier's OMPF at the time it was reviewed by a promotion selection board.

- An adverse NCO Evaluation Report (NCOER) or Academic Evaluation Report reviewed by a board was subsequently declared invalid in whole or in part, and was determined by the Enlisted Special Review Board to constitute a material error.

- An adverse document (Article 15, court-martial, etc.) belonging to another Soldier is filed on the performance fiche of the non-select's OMPF, and such document was seen by the board.

- An Article 15 administered on or after 1 September 1979 which was designated for file in the MPRJ only, but was erroneously filed on the performance fiche of the OMPF and was reviewed by the board.

- Court-martial orders were filed on the performance fiche of the OMPF when the findings were "not guilty."

- A document was filed on the performance fiche of the OMPF which erroneously identified the non-select as AWOL or a deserter when reviewed by the board.

- Receipt of a degree (AA, BA, BS) not recorded on the performance fiche or the qualification record, or was not seen in hard copy by the board. Only college degrees awarded by an accredited college or university (shown on official transcript dated prior to the board) will be considered. The date of the transcript and awarding of the degree will not be older than 3 months before the convening date of the board.

- An award of a Meritorious Service Medal (initial award only) or higher not recorded on the performance fiche or qualification record, or not reviewed in hard copy by the board. The date used for determination of reconsideration will be the date of the order or the effective date, whichever is later, and will not be older than 3 months before the convening date of the board.

- An annual or change of rater NCOER which was received at USAEREC early enough for processing and filing before the convening date of the promotion selection board was not reviewed. 75 days must be allowed between the thru date of the NCOER and the convening date of the board for processing.

- An individual who was reclassified was considered for SFC, MSG or SGM in the old MOS.
