IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  01-02011
            INDEX CODE 131.01  107.00
      XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX     COUNSEL:  None

      XXX-XX-XXXX      HEARING DESIRED: No

____________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His Officer Selection Record (OSR) for the CY00A Lieutenant Colonel  Central
Selection Board be corrected to include the citation for award of  the  Army
Commendation Medal and a revised PRF.

A Special Selection Board for the CY00A Lieutenant Colonel  Selection  Board
consider him for promotion to lieutenant colonel.

____________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant is presently serving on active duty in  the  grade  of  major.
His Total Active Federal Military Service Date (TAFMSD) is 9  Apr  91.   The
applicant was considered  and  not  selected  for  promotion  to  lieutenant
colonel by the CY00A and CY01B Central Lieutenant Colonel Selection boards.

On 16 October 2001, the  applicant’s  request  that  his  Officer  Selection
Record (OSR) for the CY00A Lieutenant Colonel  Central  Selection  Board  be
corrected to include the citation for award of the Army  Commendation  Medal
and that he be considered for promotion to lt colonel by SSB was  denied  by
the AFBCMR.  For an accounting of the facts  and  circumstances  surrounding
the applicant’s separation, and, the rationale of the  earlier  decision  by
the Board, see the Record of Proceedings at Exhibit E.

On 17  Dec  01,  the  applicant  submitted  a  request  for  reconsideration
contending that the PRF prepared on him for the  CY00A  Board  was  weak  in
comparison to his overall record, particularly the last two  OPRs  that  had
been rendered on him.  In support of his appeal, the applicant  submitted  a
revised PRF as well as a copy of a  letter  sent  to  his  Management  Level
Review president by his Senior Rater requesting  that  the  revised  PRF  be
substituted for the original  PRF  and  the  applicant  meet  an  SSB.   The
applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit F.

____________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

Pursuant to  the  Board’s  request,  AFPC/DPPPE  evaluated  the  applicant’s
latest submission in regards  to  his  request  to  revise  his  PRF.   They
recommend denial of the applicant’s request.

The applicant contends that his 13 Jun 00 OPR was not  reviewed  by  the  HQ
AFMC MLR and this decreased his chances to  receive  a  definitely  promote.
However, he has not provided any supporting documentation  from  his  senior
rater or management level to support this allegation.

The applicant also contends that his PRF does  not  accurately  reflect  his
career path, and based on non-select and career counseling  there  were  key
words missing.  Changing Section  IV  requires  concurrence  of  the  senior
rater and MLR president.  While applicant has  the  support  of  his  senior
rater, he does not have the support of his MLR president.  In addition,  the
senior rater has not provided  any  evidence  to  show  that  the  requested
changes are related to a documented error.

The complete evaluation is at Exhibit G.

AFPC/DPPPO was  requested  to  provide  an  evaluation  of  the  applicant’s
requests for promotion consideration by SSB and to include a letter  to  the
Board.  They recommend denial of the applicant’s request.

The letter the applicant requests be included to the Board is dated  11  Oct
01 and makes reference to the CY01B board.

The complete evaluation is at Exhibit H.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATIONS

The applicant agrees with  AFPC/DPPPO  that  the  letter  to  the  Board  he
submitted is incorrect.  He has attached  a  more  appropriate  letter.   In
regards to the failure of his senior rater providing evidence of  procedural
errors, he  indicates  that  he  is  only  able  to  provide  circumstantial
evidence  of  incorrect  procedures.   The  applicant  indicates  that   the
expected recommendation of denial from the Air Force is the  reason  why  he
has appealed to the AFBCMR.  He provides a list of achievements garnered  by
the unit he commands as evidence that he deserves promotion.

The applicant’s review is at Exhibit J.

___________________________________________________________

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

After reviewing the evidence submitted by the  applicant,  the  majority  of
the Board believes that sufficient doubt  exists  over  the  impact  of  the
applicant’s PRF on his promotion opportunity to warrant  relief.   They  are
primarily persuaded by the support  the  applicant  has  received  from  his
senior rater to revise the PRF as well as  the  feedback  he  received  from
AFPC regarding the quality  of  the  PRF.   While  it  is  not  an  absolute
certainty that the applicant’s PRF and the missing Army  Commendation  Medal
citation resulted in his nonselection for promotion,  the  majority  of  the
Board believes that any doubt should be resolved in his  favor.   The  board
majority has elected to deny the applicant’s request to include  the  letter
he has provided documenting why he was unable  to  attend  Squadron  Officer
School in residence in his Officer Selection  Record.   However,  they  note
that the applicant  will  have  an  opportunity  to  write  to  the  Special
Selection Board  president.   Therefore,  in  the  interest  of  equity  and
justice, the majority of the board recommends that the  applicant’s  records
be corrected as indicated below.

____________________________________________________________

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:

The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air  Force  relating
to APPLICANT, be corrected to show that the  Promotion  Recommendation  Form
(PRF), AF Form 709,  prepared  for  the  CY00A  Central  Lieutenant  Colonel
Selection Board, which convened on 28 November 2000, be  declared  void  and
removed from his records  and  replaced  with  the  attached  reaccomplished
Promotion Recommendation Form, AF Form 709.

It is further recommended that his record,  to  include  the  above  revised
Promotion Recommendation Form and the Army  Commendation  Medal,  closing  2
May 2000, be considered for promotion to the grade of lieutenant colonel  by
a  Special  Selection  Board  for  the  CY00A  Central  Lieutenant   Colonel
Selection Board.
