APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

He be provided supplemental promotion consideration to  the  grade  of
chief master sergeant for cycle 99E9.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

A review of the contents of his  SNCO  Selection  folder  contained  a
memorandum for record (MFR)  dated  6  October  1999  identifying  all
discrepancies with this folder logged between 1  August  1999  and   6
October 1999.  The memorandum indicated that his  Meritorious  Service
Medal, 1st Oak Leaf Cluster (MSM, 1OLC), citation was missing from the
folder.  According to the MFR an inquiry was  sent  to  his  servicing
Military Personnel Flight, however, all indications are this  document
was not in his selection folder when the  99E9  cycle  SNCO  Selection
Board met.

Applicant's complete submission is attached at Exhibit A.

_________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

The  Chief,  Inquiries/AFBCMR  Section,  AFPC/DPPPWB,   reviewed   the
application and states that in accordance  with  AFI  36-2502,  Airman
Promotion Program, Table 2.5, Rule 4, a decoration is  not  considered
missing if either the citation or order is filed  in  the  Senior  NCO
Selection Folder or  if  the  decoration  was  listed  on  the  Senior
Evaluation Brief reviewed by the board.  Although there was  no  order
or citation in the record, the Senior NCO Evaluation Board  was  aware
the applicant had two MSMs as they were reflected on  the  Senior  NCO
Evaluation Brief.  Therefore, they  recommend  denial  of  applicant’s
request.

A complete copy of the evaluation is attached at Exhibit C.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

On 18 February 2000, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was  forwarded
to the applicant for review and response 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.   It  appears  that  the
citation for his MSM, 1OLC was not in his Senior NCO Selection  Folder
when reviewed by the Evaluation Board.  However, AFI  36-2502,  Airman
Promotion Program, Table 2.5, Rule  4,  states  a  decoration  is  not
considered missing if either the citation or order  is  filed  in  the
Senior NCO Selection Folder or if the decoration  was  listed  on  the
Senior Evaluation Brief reviewed by the board.  The Air  Force  states
that although there was no order or citation in the record, the Senior
NCO Evaluation Board was aware the applicant had two MSMs as they were
reflected on the Senior NCO Evaluation Brief.   In  this  respect,  we
note that the board members had knowledge of the citation for his MSM,
1OLC.  We agree with the opinion and recommendation of the  Air  Force
and adopt their rationale as the basis for  the  conclusion  that  the
applicant  has  not  been  the  victim  of  an  error  or   injustice.
Therefore, in the absence of evidence to  the  contrary,  we  find  no
compelling basis to recommend  granting  the  relief  sought  in  this
application.

_________________________________________________________________

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.

_________________________________________________________________

The following members of the  Board  considered  this  application  in

            Ms. Peggy E. Gordon, Member

    However, the decoration was not updated in the system at the time initial selects were run as evidenced by the score notice dated 17 Mar 81. Also, the MSM (1OLC) was not considered by the promotion board. We noted applicant’s contention that the MSM, 1OLC, was not considered by the promotion board; however, since this award did not close out until 30 Jun 82, and was not awarded until 22 Jul 82, it did not meet the eligibility criteria for cycle 82S9.
