                       RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS

         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  01-01568
            INDEX NUMBER:  131.00

      XXXXXXXXXXXXX    COUNSEL:  None

      XXX-XX-XXXX      HEARING DESIRED:  No

_______________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

He be granted promotion consideration to lieutenant colonel by  Special
Selection Board (SSB) for  the  Calendar  Year  (CY)  1999A  Lieutenant
Colonel Selection Board with the letter  he  previously  wrote  to  the
CY99A board withdrawn.

_______________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

The letter he wrote to the board cast his record as a resident graduate
of Air Command and Staff College (ACSC) in a different light from other
resident graduates.  This was obvious from  his  non-select  counseling
when the counselor told him “you still didn’t sit in the classroom  for
10 months.”

His 1999 resident completion date made his records transparent  to  the
selection board and caused  them  to  question  how  he  could  have  a
completion date of 1999 when the 1999  class  had  not  yet  graduated.
This caused board members to look for a training report  and  not  find
one.

His tour at ACSC was the result of an agreement with the Air  Force  to
award him resident credit, not faculty credit, or  nonresident  credit.
He was never informed before he was hired as  an  ACSC  faculty  member
that he would have to give up  his  candidacy  for  resident  PME.   He
fulfilled his end of the bargain in good faith at a great cost.  He has
not received “resident credit” and explaining program details casts his
records in doubt.

The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.

_______________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant’s Total Active Federal Military Service Date  is  28  Feb
83.  The applicant was considered but not  selected  for  promotion  to
lieutenant colonel by the CY99A promotion selection board.   On  9  Nov
00, the AFBCMR granted the applicant promotion consideration by SSB for
the CY99A promotion board due to an error in his duty title.  The Board
denied the applicant’s request to direct the SSB to score  all  records
with the intermediate service school (ISS) designator  “residence”  the
same (See Record of  Proceeding  at  Exhibit  B).   The  applicant  was
considered for promotion by SSB on 22 Jan 01 and not selected.

_______________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

The Chief, Promotion, Evaluation & Recognition Division, evaluated  the
application and recommends denial of the applicant’s request.

The applicant admits that once he discovered  the  true  error  on  his
Officer Selection Brief  (OSB)  and  advised  the  SSB  office  of  the
corrected data, he should have asked that his letter to  the  board  be
removed.  Instead, applicant allowed the letter to meet the  SSB.   The
applicant had sufficient time once the record was corrected to  request
his letter be withdrawn.

The complete evaluation is at Exhibit c.

_______________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

The applicant responded to the Air  Force  evaluation.   The  applicant
reiterated that he has not received the benefit  of  being  a  resident
graduate of  ACSC  as  promised  when  he  was  recruited  as  an  ACSC
instructor.  The applicant attached additional letters of  support  for
his appeal.  He also emphasizes that he came from a military family and
asks for the opportunity to continue serving in the next grade.

_______________________________________________________________

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.  We took  notice  of  the
applicant's complete submission in judging  the  merits  of  the  case;
however, we agree with the opinion and recommendation of the Air  Force
office of primary responsibility  and  adopt  their  rationale  as  the
primary basis for our conclusion that the applicant has  not  been  the
victim of an error  or  injustice.   We  are  not  persuaded  that  the
applicant’s letter to the president  of  the  selection  board  is  the
overriding reason for his nonselection.   The  decision  to  write  the
selection board president was a judgement call  made  entirely  by  the
applicant.  We do not believe that it is fair or appropriate to provide
the applicant further  promotion  consideration  based  on  conjecture.
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.

    He had less than two years eligibility to complete ACSC prior to consideration for LTC IPZ in Apr 99, whereas his peers had at least four and one-half years. He did complete ACSC in Nov 99 in time for the CY99B board’s consideration. Although the applicant did not raise this issue, we believe his not having sufficient time to build a performance record as a major before being considered IPZ for LTC may have contributed to his nonselection.
