Series 141-30-7 - DECLINATION OF PROXMOTIONa. In accordance with AR 135-155 an Army National Guard officer who has been selected for promotion to the grade of Captain, Major or Lieutenant Colonel as a result of mandatory consideration may decline the promotion for a maximum period of three years, if approved by the State Adjutant General. b. Declinations should not be perfunctorily approved. Each case will be carefully reviewed at all levels of command to determine the officer's value to the Guard; the effect his retention will have on the orderly advancement of other officers and whether he can be promoted and retained prior to the expiration of a declination. In those selected cases where it is determined to be in the best interset of all concerned a declination will be approved for a period of three years, providing the officer was not passed over for promotion on a previous consideration. c. When an officer is offered a declination following a second consideration for promotion his case will be reviewed in the same manner as b, above, however, his declination will be approved f6r a period of not more than two years. d. Those officers who serv-ed under approved declinations have no assurance of being retained for the full declination period. Approvals may be withdrawn by the Adjutant General at any time during the declination period. W. Va. Code R. agency 141, tit. 141, ser. 141-30, app I, 141-30-7
