DOCKET NO: 98-00847
COUNSEL: NONE

HEARING DESIRED: NO
Applicant requests that the citation to accompany the award of
the Air Force Commendation Medal, second oak leaf cluster, (AFCM
20LC) be added to his Officer Selection Record (OSR) for review
by the CY 97A lieutenant colonel medical/dental corps selection
board, which convened on 5 November 1997. Applicant's submission
is at Exhibit A.
The appropriate Air Force office evaluated applicant's request
and provided an advisory opinion to the Board recommending the
application be denied (Exhibit C). The advisory opinion was
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 opinion 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 presenta?lion of new relevant
evidence which was not reasonably available at the time the
application was filed.
Members of the Board Mrs. Barbara A. Westgate, Mr. Henry Romo
Jr., and Mr. Allen Beckett considered this application on
15 September 1998 in accordance with the provisions of Air Force
Instruction 36-2603, and the governing statute, 10, U.S.C. 1552.

Requested Action. The applicant, a dental corps (DC) officer, requests addition of his Air
Force Commendation Medal, Yd Oak Leaf Cluster (AFCM 20LC) be added to his officer
selection record (OSR). Although not specifically requested, we believe the applicant is
requesting promotion reconsideration by the CY97A (5 Nov 97) lieutenant colonel
medical/dental corps (MCDC) board (M0597A).
Basis for Request. The applicant states the citation was not available for the original board.
Recommendation. Denial of the request for promotion reconsideration due to lack of merit.
Facts and Comments.
a. The application is timely filed. Application under AFI 36-2401, Correcting
Officer and Enlisted Evaluation Reports, would not be appropriate.
b. The governing directive is AFI 36-250 1, Officer Promotions and Selective
Continuation, 1 Mar 96.
c. The applicant has three nonselections by the CY95A (6 Nov 95) (M0595A),
CY96A (12 Nov 96) (M0596A), and M0597A lieutenant colonel MCDC boards.
d. The applicant contends the M0597A board was not aware of his award of the
AFCM 20LC. As support, the applicant provides a poor copy of his officer preselection brief
(OPB), dated 25 Jul97, which does not reflect the decoration. We note the date of the special
order for the decoration is dated 20 Jun 97. As such, the decoration should have been reflected
on both the OPB and the officer selection brief (OSB). However, the citation was filed in his
OSR on 1 Jul97-well in advance of the board. Therefore, the board members were
knowledgeable the decoration was given which is the ultimate purpose of including them in the
promotion selection process. Since the board members were aware of the decoration, it was
factored into the promotion evaluation.
e. The request to file the decoration is moot since it has already been filed in the
OSR. We do not support promotion reconsideration based on the fact that it was not annotated
on the OSB. The applicant received his OPB three months prior to the board convening date. He
had more than sufficient time to ensure the decoration was included on the OSB. Written
instructions attached to the OPB and given to the officer before the central selection board
specifically instruct h i d e r to carefully examine the brief for completeness and accuracy. If any
errors are found, he/she must take corrective action prior to the selection board, not after it. The
instructions specifically state, “Officers will not be considered by a Special Selection Board if,
in exercising reasonable diligence, the officer should have discovered the error or omission in
hisher records and could have taken timety corrective action ” (emphasis added).
Summary. Our recommendation of denial is appropriate.
