                       RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  01-01662
            INDEX CODE:  131.01

            COUNSEL:  NONE

            HEARING DESIRED:  NO


_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

She be considered for Intermediate Service School (ISS) candidacy  in-
residence.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

She was an Air National Guard (ANG) member when she was considered for
promotion to major.  Therefore, she was not considered for  candidacy.
The ANG does not offer “candidacy”--all are  considered  a  candidate.
She has researched the option of a Special Selection Board  (SSB)  but
that requires that she be considered under the same standards  as  her
peers on that board.  Since she is now on active duty,  she  does  not
have a peer group against whom she can fairly compete.

In support of her appeal, the applicant provided a personal statement,
copies of  her  separation  documents,  and  a  letter  pertaining  to
selection for extended active duty.

Applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The relevant facts pertaining to this application are contained in the
letter  prepared  by  the  appropriate  office  of  the   Air   Force.
Accordingly, there is no need to recite these facts in this Record  of
Proceedings.

_________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

The Assignment Programs and Procedures Division,  AFPC/DPAP,  reviewed
this  application  and  recommended  denial.   DPAP  noted  that   the
applicant was selected for major while serving  in  the  Air  National
Guard  (ANG).   ANG  promotees  are  not  identified  as  Professional
Military  Education  (PME)  candidates  during  the  promotion   board
process.  They are identified as candidates based on  the  commander’s
recommendation and availability.

DPAP indicated that the ANG leadership considered but did  not  select
the applicant to attend ISS in-residence upon promotion to major.  She
was not identified as an ISS candidate upon entering active duty  from
the ANG.  According to DPAP, she is now eligible to  compete  annually
for ISS selection as a non-candidate.

A complete copy of the DPAP evaluation is at Exhibit B.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

Applicant reviewed the advisory opinion and furnished a  response  and
additional documentary evidence which are attached at Exhibit D.

_________________________________________________________________

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  note  that  the
applicant was a former ANG member who voluntarily applied to return to
active duty.  However, prior to  returning  to  active  duty  she  was
selected for promotion to the grade of major.  She contends that as  a
major selectee, she was unable to apply for ISS before separating from
the ANG.  Therefore, she now requests that she be considered  for  ISS
candidacy as an active duty  officer.   She  believes  she  should  be
afforded the same opportunity to be considered for  ISS  candidacy  as
all other captains who meet a major board.  After a thorough review of
the facts and circumstances of this case, we are  not  persuaded  that
any corrective action  is  warranted.   ISS  candidacy  is  determined
during the major promotion board for active duty personnel where  only
a limited number of promotees are selected as ISS  candidates.   Since
she was an ANG asset when she was selected for promotion to major, her
consideration for ISS candidacy as an  active  duty  officer  was  not
warranted.  We think at this point it is worth noting that even if the
applicant had been considered for ISS candidacy,  she  still  may  not
have been  selected  as  a  candidate.   Also,  being  selected  as  a
candidate does not guarantee selection  to  attend  ISS  in-residence,
which is determined by the ISS selection board  where  only  the  best
qualified are selected.  Finally, we note that the applicant still can
compete for ISS  as  a  non-candidate  if  she  is  nominated  by  her
management level.  In view of the foregoing,  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 rater and additional rater of the contested OPR provide statements contending that the correct PME level on the report should have been for SSS rather than ISS. The OPR closing 23 Jun 97 recommends SSS in residence. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the existence of error or injustice to warrant altering the 23 Jun 96 OPR to reflect a PME recommendation of “SSS” rather than “ISS” and granting SSB consideration for the CY99A selection board.
