                       RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER: 98-01005
                 INDEX CODE 131.01
                 COUNSEL:  None

                 HEARING DESIRED:  No
_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

The Duty Air Force Specialty Code (DAFSC) for the 2 October 1996 entry
on the Officer Selection Brief (OSB) reviewed  by  the  Calendar  Year
1997C (CY97C) Lieutenant Colonel Board be changed to “B11F3Z.”
_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

His most recent Officer Performance Report  (OPR)  and  his  Promotion
Recommendation Form (PRF) reviewed by the CY97C board list  his  DAFSC
as “B11F3Z.” The OSB lacks the “B” Operations Officer prefix.

In support, he provides the OSB, OPR and PRF in question.

A copy of applicant's complete submission is at Exhibit A.

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant was considered but not selected  by  the  Calendar  Year
1997C (CY97C) Lieutenant Colonel  Board,  which  convened  on  21 July
1997.

The 2 October 1996 duty entry on the CY97C OSB contained  a  DAFSC  of
“11F3Z.” The PRF and top OPR reviewed by the CY97C board  reflected  a
DAFSC of “B11F3Z.”

Before the CY97C board  convened,  the  Personnel  Data  System  (PDS)
reflected a DAFSC of “11F3Z” for the 2 October  1996  entry.  The  PDS
currently reflects a DAFSC of “B11F3Z” for the  2  October  1996  duty
entry.
_________________________________________________________________








AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

The Chief, Reports & Queries Team, HQ AFPC/DPAIS1, states that,  based
on the OPR, the 2 October 1996 duty entry should reflect  a  DAFSC  of
“B11F3Z.”  The PDS has been changed to reflect that.

A copy of the complete Air Force evaluation, with  attachment,  is  at
Exhibit C.

The Chief, Officer Promotion & Appointment Branch, HQ AFPC/DPPPO, also
reviewed the appeal and states that applicant has sufficiently  proven
that this DAFSC  in  the  PDS  was  incorrect.  This  error  has  been
corrected.  The  applicant  provides  no   evidence   or   information
suggesting that he took action to make the DAFSC correction  prior  to
the CY97C board. Also, before the board he was provided an Officer Pre-
Selection Brief (OPB) and in all likelihood the error was  present  on
this brief. Since this error probably occurred in  April  1997,  there
was ample time for the applicant to review his  record  to  ensure  it
correctly reflected his DAFSC. He also could  have  communicated  this
error to the board via a letter, as was his right.  Special  Selection
Board (SSB) consideration should be denied.

A copy of the complete Air Force evaluation, with  attachment,  is  at
Exhibit D.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

Complete copies of the evaluations were forwarded to the applicant  on
18 May 1998 for review and comment within 30 days.  As of  this  date,
no response has been received by this office.

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

1.    The applicant has exhausted all remedies  provided  by  existing
law or regulations.

2.    The application was timely filed.

3.    Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate
the existence of probable error or injustice. After a thorough  review
of the evidence of record  and  applicant’s  submission,  we  are  not
persuaded that the OSB reviewed by the CY97C board should be  amended.
The applicant’s contentions are duly noted; however, we  do  not  find
these assertions, in and by  themselves,  sufficiently  persuasive  to
override the rationale provided by the Chief,  Officer  Promotion  and
Appointment Branch. Furthermore, although the contested DAFSC did  not
include the “B” prefix on the OSB, the promotion board was aware of it
because the DAFSC was accurately reflected on the PRF and the top OPR.
  Therefore, we conclude this omission constitutes  a  harmless  error
which does  not  warrant  correction.  While  the  applicant  has  not
specifically requested consideration by SSB for the  CY97C  board,  in
view of the fact that we find no compelling  basis  for  granting  the
relief requested, we also  conclude  that  SSB  consideration  is  not
warranted.
_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:

The  applicant  be  notified  that  the  evidence  presented  did  not
demonstrate the existence of probable  material  error  or  injustice;
that the application was denied without  a  personal  appearance;  and
that the application will only be reconsidered upon the submission  of
newly  discovered  relevant  evidence   not   considered   with   this
application.
