AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
IN THE MATTER OF:
DOCKET NUMBER: 97-01394
,
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED:
my 2 2 1997
Applicant requests that he be given special selection board (SSB)
consideration by an unnamed central lieutenant colonel selection
board with a corrected 28 Aug 96 officer performance report (OPR)
and a pending decoration included in his officer selection record
(OSR). Applicant's submission is at Exhibit A.
The appropriate Air Force off ices evaluated applicant I s request
and provided advisory opinions to the Board recommending the
application be denied (Exhibit C ) .
The advisory opinions were
forwarded to the applicant for review and response (Exhibit D).
As of this date, no response has been received by this office.
After careful consideration of applicant's request and the
available evidence of record, we find insufficient evidence of
error or injustice to warrant corrective action. The facts and
opinions stated in the advisory opinions appear to be based on
the evidence of record and have not been rebutted by applicant.
Absent persuasive evidence applicant was denied rights to which
entitled, appropriate regulations were not followed, or
appropriate standards were not applied, we find no basis to
disturb the existing record.
Accordingly, applicant's request is denied.
The Board staff is directed to inform applicant of this decision.
Applicant should also be informed that this decision is final and
will only be reconsidered 'upon the presentation of new relevant
evidence which was not reasonably available at the time the
application was filed.
Members of the Board Mr. Henry C. Saunders, Mr. Allen Beckett,
and Mr. Richard A. Peterson considered this application on 16 Oct
97, in accordance with the provisions of Air Force Instruction
3 6 - 2 6 0 3 and the governing statute,

MEMORANDUM FOR AFBCMR
FROM: HQ AFPCDPPPA
550 C Street West, Suite 8
Randolph AFB TX 78 150-47 10
SUBJECT: AFI 36-2603 Application--
Requested Action. Applicant requests special selection board (S SB) consideration by an
unnamed central lieutenant colonel selection board with a corrected 28 Aug 96 officer
performance report (OPR) and a “pending” decoration included in his officer selection record
(OSR).
Basis for Request. See block 9 of applicant’s 29 Apr 97 DD Form 149, Application for
Correction of Military Records.
Recommendation. Deny.
Facts and Comments:
a. AFR 36-10, The Officer Evaluation System, 1 Aug 88, is the governing
directive. The applicant submitted an appeal under AFI 36-240 1, Correcting Officer and
Enlisted Evaluation Reports, which was approved by the Evaluation Report Appeal Board
(ERAB). A copy of the letter announcing the ERAB’s decision, dated 19 Mar 97, is included in
the applicant’s appeal package. The applicant was twice nonselected for promotion to the grade
of lieutenant colonel by the CY94A (1 1 Oct 94) (P0594A) and CY96C (8 Jul96) (P0596C)
central selection boards. He retired fiom active-duty Air Force on 30 Apr 97.
b. In support of his appeal, the applicant submits the letter announcing the
E M ’ S 19 Mar 97 decision and letters of support for a “pending” decoration.
c. The corrected 28 Aug 96 OPR has no bearing on this case. It was not, and
never will be, considered in the promotion process, as it closed out after the applicant’s final
promotion board.
d. We cannot address the applicant’s “pending’’ decoration. Should the
decoration be approved, a matter which is the responsibility of the approval official at the time
the decoration “closed out”, the applicant may reapply for SSB consideration. As it currently
stands, the applicant’s record is not inaccurate because the absence of a decoration that is yet to
’
exist is not an error. As we do not believe there are corrections required to the applicant’s record
in relation to this appeal, SSB consideration,is not warranted.
Summary. Based on the evidence provided, our recommendation of denial is appropriate.

The applicant believes the decoration citation should have been present in his officer selection record (OSR) for the P0597C board’s review. While the period of service occurred prior to the P0597C board, the decoration did not exist in Jul97 when the board convened. Since a decoration does not exist until a special order is cut (or in the case of the JSCM, an awarding memorandum), it was not required to be filed when the P0596C or P0597C promotion boards convened, nor in fact did it exist...
We note that applicant's records have now been corrected to reflect his correct duty Air Force Specialty Code (DAFSC), and duty titles during the contested time period; therefore, the only issue for this Board to decide is promotion consideration by a Special Selection Board (SSB). Therefore, we recommend his corrected record be considered by Special Selection Board for the CY97C board. There is no evidence any steps were taken to make a correction to the DAFSC or duty title from the...
Air Force officer promotions are a competitive process. A complete copy of this evaluation is appended at Exhibit H. APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: The applicant reviewed the advisory opinions and indicated that his rating chain tried to have the duty title updated in the personnel system before the OPR became a matter of record. He asks the Board to correct his record to reflect selection to major as if selected in the promotion zone by the CY95 Major Board.
In regard to applicant's request that a PME statement be added on the OPR, closing 26 April 1996, AFPC/DPPPA, states that Central boards evaluate the entire officer selection record (OSR) (including the promotion recommendation form, OPRs, officer effectiveness reports, training reports, letters of evaluation, decorations, and officer selection brief), assessing whole person factors such as job performance, professional qualities, depth and breadth of experience, leadership, and academic and...
The appropriate Air Force offices evaluated applicant's request and provided advisory opinions to the Board recommending the application be denied (Exhibit C) , The advisory opinions were forwarded to the applicant for review and response (Exhibit D). The applicant is requesting correction to his Officer Selection Brief (OSB) in the areas of Acquisition Corps, Joint Duty History and Decorations. The applicant believes his OSB should have reflected “YES” under the Acquisition Corps area due...

As to the 23 June 1997 duty history entry, the Air Force office of primary responsibility, HQ AFPC/DPPPA, stated that the applicant's letter to the P0597C board president, which explained his then current duty title, was in his Officer Selection Record (0%) when it was considered by the P0597C selection board.
