Can I get an OER to cover 15 months prior to break in service?

I resigned from the Georgia Guard and the Reserve of the Army in December 2013 and my unit did not do an OER for me prior to discharge. My last OER was a mobilization OER from September 2012. At the time I never pressed the issue since I was getting completely out. However years later I sought to re-enter and was just reappointed as a Captain in the Reserve. I would like to progress my military career so I am concerned about this 15 months of unrated time just before my break in service. I do know who my rater was, would they be able to make an OER 7 years after the fact or what are my options in dealing with this when I come up for MAJ in a little over a year?

The door may have closed for the tying up of that unrated time.
AR623-3 Evaluations para 3-43b. Check with your S1 and cite this regulation and paragraph. So the first OER back in a TPU status should include your unrated time. I don't know if they cover a break in service. Your S1 may have to call HRC to verify. the unrated time codes in the OER writing tool has a way to enter multiples.
I had a 33 month "annual" that covered 18 months of grad school and 12 months at the Naval War College back to back so it can be done. That is when they decided 1059s no,longer "counted".

Thanks Sir! I just looked at the regulation, and I think I might be able to use the 3-43b condition 1. I'll check with my S1 about this.

After all this time, I think the only thing that can be done would be a Memorandum Letter of Input.

Getting a retro active OER won’t be a possibility. Once he is assigned to a Unit, the Unit will begin to see him listed on the overdue Eval report, they will code him as just assigned. Once his annual is due from the date he was assigned, then his new Unit will evaluate him for that rating year. The missing OER will become an issue once he is preparing to go to the promotion board, at that time, he can submit a letter to the president of the promotion board explaining the circumstances for the missing evaluation and his current Commander can sign it.

Thank you very much for the follow up, sir! The regulations gave some options but appeared to not cover my circumstances. This appears to make a lot more sense as the way to handle the promotion board.

CPT (Join to see) - usually unrated time is not a big deal as long as you have a reasonable explanation. In your case, you were due an OER in SEP but since you were getting out in DEC, it seemed rather pointless.
I am retiring OCT 2022, my annual is due in MAR I don't think I'm going to worry about it if they decide not to do one. 20 months unrated time won't mean a thing when I'm drawing my retirement check. lol
