RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2010-04639 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NO ________________________________________________________________ THE APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: His nomination package for position vacancy be reviewed for eligibility for the Calendar Year 2010 (CY10) Line and Health Professions Lieutenant Colonel Position Vacancy (PV) Promotion Board. ________________________________________________________________ THE APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: His promotion recommendation form (PRF) nomination package was supposed to be included with the other wing PRFs, but due to a clerical error, his package was not included. He is assigned to a lieutenant colonel billet at his unit, which is a requirement for nomination. In support of his appeal, the applicant provides a package from his unit supporting his claim. The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A. ________________________________________________________________ STATEMENT OF FACTS: The relevant facts pertaining to this application, extracted from the applicant’s military records, are contained in the letter prepared by the appropriate office of the Air Force. ________________________________________________________________ THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION: ARPC/DPB recommends denial, stating, in part, the applicant did not provide a completed PRF for the CY10 Line and Health Professions Lieutenant Colonel Position Vacancy (PV) Promotion Board, recommending him for PV. One of the primary eligibility requirements is that they must be recommended by their Senior Rater on a PRF. The applicant has not provided the PRF he states his Senior Rater signed for the 14 Jun 10 PV Board. The complete AFPC/DPB evaluation is at Exhibit C. ________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION: In his response to the Air Force evaluation, the applicant provides the PRF from his senior rater for the CY10 board. The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit E. ________________________________________________________________ THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT: 1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing law or regulations. 2. The application was timely filed. 3. Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the existence of error or injustice warranting corrective action. We took notice of the applicant’s complete submission in judging the merits of the case. While we note the recommendation of the Air Force Reserve office of primary responsibility, in considering their assessment of the application, and based on the documentation provided by the applicant’s rating chain, including the AF Form 709, Promotion Recommendation Form (PRF), we believe it was their intent to have the nomination package submitted prior to the convening date of the board, nominating him for consideration by the CY10 Line and Health Professions Lieutenant Colonel Position Vacancy (PV) Promotion Board. In view of this, and given the rating chain’s intent to have the PRF as a matter of record before the promotion board, we recommend the applicant’s record be corrected to the extent indicated below. ________________________________________________________________ THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT: The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force relating to APPLICANT, be corrected to show that the AF Form 709, Promotion Recommendation Form (PRF), rendered for the Calendar Year 2010 (CY10) Line and Health Professions Lieutenant Colonel Position Vacancy (PV) Promotion Board, was reaccomplished, printed, and physically signed by the senior rater in Section X, and that the PRF was received prior to the board convening date of 14 June 2010. It is further recommended, if he is otherwise eligible for promotion, that he be considered for promotion to the grade of lieutenant colonel (O-5) as a position vacancy candidate by a Special Board, under the provisions of 10 USC 1558, for the Calendar Year 2010 (CY10) Line and Health Professions Lieutenant Colonel Position Vacancy (PV) Promotion Board and any subsequent boards for which the above PRF was not a matter of record. ________________________________________________________________ The following members of the Board considered AFBCMR Docket Number BC-2010-04639 in Executive Session on 19 July 2011, under the provisions of AFI 36-2603: All members voted to correct the records, as recommended.
