THIRD ADDENDUM TO RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2007-01311 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NOT INDICATED ________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: He receive a direct promotion to the grade of colonel (O-6), effective 7 Dec 04, or he be provided Special Selection Board consideration for the Calendar Year 2004 (CY04) Colonel Central Selection Board (CSB). ________________________________________________________________ STATEMENT OF FACTS: On 28 Mar 07, the applicant requested his Officer Performance Report (OPR), rendered for the period ending 20 Jun 03, be removed from his records and he receive promotion consideration by an SSB for the Calendar Year 2004C (CY04C) CSB. On 5 Sep 07, the Board considered and denied the applicant’s appeal. On 18 Jun 09, the applicant requested reconsideration to have the contested OPR removed from his records. The applicant further requested his duty title, as reflected on his OPR rendered for the period ending 30 Jun 04, be changed to read “Deputy Command Chaplain,” and direct promotion to the grade of colonel (O-6). On 14 Oct 09, a majority of the Board denied his requests. On 10 May 10, the applicant requested his OPR, rendered for the period ending 20 Jun 04, and his Promotion Recommendation Form (PRF), prepared for the CY04C CSB, be corrected to reflect he served as the Deputy Command Chaplain, and that his corrected record be considered for promotion to the grade colonel by an SSB for the CY04C Colonel CSB. The applicant contended he served as the Deputy Command Chaplain and that his service should have been emphasized in his record before the promotion board. In support of his request, the applicant submitted a supporting statement from the Air Force Chief of Chaplains. On 28 Oct 11, the Board considered and recommended granting partial relief to change his duty title on his OPR rendered for the period ending 20 Jun 04 to reflect Deputy Command Chaplain and that his corrected record receive SSB consideration for the CY04 CSB. For an accounting of the facts and circumstances and the rationale of the Board’s decision, see the Second Addendum to Record of Proceedings, with exhibits, at Exhibit L. On 20 Dec 11, the applicant’s counsel notified the Board that his client received their Nov 11 decision. Counsel further noted the documentation indicated the applicant was forwarded the Air Force evaluations on 18 Jul 11 and 3 Aug 11; however, his client did not receive the evaluations and, as a consequence of not receiving the evaluations, his client was deprived the opportunity to respond to the evaluations. Counsel requested a copy of the applicant’s complete case file (Exhibit M), which was provided to counsel on 4 Jan 12 (Exhibit N). On 24 Feb 12, the applicant’s counsel requested reconsideration on the basis that the applicant was not provided an opportunity to respond to the advisory opinions rendered in his case prior to the Board’s decision (Exhibit O). On 18 Jul 12, the Board informed the applicant’s counsel that to preclude the possibility of an injustice, the applicant had 30 days to provide a response (Exhibit P). On 27 Jul 12, the applicant was notified that on 14 May 12, he was considered, but not selected for promotion by the P0604C (Chaplain) SSB (Exhibit Q). By a letter dated 1 Aug 13, the applicant is requesting reconsideration for his request for direct promotion to the grade of colonel with an effective date of 7 Dec 04, or in the alternative SSB consideration for promotion to colonel based on the reaccomplished OPR and PRF provided by his rater. The applicant contends his contested OPR and PRF presented to the CY04 promotion board failed to reflect his duty performance while in two O-6 positions (Exhibit R). ________________________________________________________________ THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT: After again reviewing the evidence of record, the applicant’s prior submissions, the additional evidence provided in support of his appeal, we find no basis to grant the requested relief. We note the applicant submits a reaccomplished OPR, PRF and statement from his rater, nine years after the events in question, indicating the original report was an understatement of the applicant’s duty performance. However, we find this now laudatory support from the applicant’s rater insufficient to conclude that additional relief is warranted. There is no evidence to show the original report signed by the rater was erroneously prepared or technically flawed. In a previous submission, the applicant was granted partial relief by the Board and his duty title on one of his OPRs was changed and he was provided SSB consideration for promotion to colonel based on that correction to his record. In our view, the issues raised by the applicant have been adequately addressed by the OPRs and previous considerations of his case by this Board and he has been provided full and fitting relief. Therefore, in view of the above and after a lengthy and thorough consideration of the documentation, statements, and contentions presented throughout this nearly ten-year debate regarding the applicant’s promotion consideration, we believe the applicant has been provided full and fitting relief and find no basis to recommend any relief beyond that previously rendered. ________________________________________________________________ THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT: The applicant be notified the evidence presented did not demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; the application was denied without a personal appearance; and the application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this application. ________________________________________________________________ The following members of the Board considered AFBCMR Docket Number BC-2007-01311 in Executive Session on 29 Apr 14, under the provisions of AFI 36-2603: , Panel Chair , Member , Member The following documentary evidence pertaining to AFBCMR Docket Number BC-2007-01311 was considered: Exhibit L.
