RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: 02-01789
INDEX NUMBER: 131.00
XXXXXXXXXXXXXX COUNSEL: None
XXX-XX-XXXX HEARING DESIRED: No
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
The Officer Performance Report (OPR) rendered on him as directed by
Headquarters Air Force (HAF) with a closeout date of 6 Aug 01 be
included in his record.
He be considered for promotion to lieutenant colonel above-the-
promotion-zone (APZ) by Special Selection Board (SSB) for the CY01B
lieutenant colonel central selection board.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
Personnel technicians made a decision not to process his OPR without
notification to him or his supervisors. He was not provided any
opportunity for redress of their decision not to include the OPR in
his records. Their decision negatively impacted his promotion
opportunity.
The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit
A.
_________________________________________________________________
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 30
Dec 85. A review of the OPRs included in the applicant’s record for
the CY01B Board reflects overall ratings of “meets standards.” The
top report in the applicant’s record for the Board was a TR with a
closeout date of 28 Feb 01. The applicant has two nonselections to
the grade of lieutenant colonel.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPBR1 advises that the applicant did not require a Directed by
HAF OPR. He was originally projected as requiring a report because
the latest report on file closed out 31 Jan 00. However, on 1 Jul 01
they received a Training Report (TR) for file closing out 23 Feb 01.
As a result, applicant’s OPR reporting string started over.
The complete evaluation is at Exhibit C.
AFPC/DPPPO recommend denial of the applicant’s request for a SSB.
Based on the evaluation prepared by AFPC/DPPBR1 and the guidance
contained in Military Personnel Flight Memorandum (MPFM) 01-19, dated
8 Jun 01, the applicant was not required to receive a Directed by HAF
report.
The complete evaluation is at Exhibit D.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The applicant responded to the Air Force evaluation by indicating two
reasons that he disagrees with the evaluations:
A. The original message that identified him as requiring a
Directed by HAF report did not contain the stipulations that
AFPC/DPPBR and AFPC/DPPPO now cite as grounds for denial of his
request. Before the message, his supervisors were preparing a
“Change of Reporting Official” report on him. The message caused
them to change their reason for submitting the report to Directed by
HAF.
B. The applicant indicates that he does not agree with
AFPC’s interpretation of the guidance contained in MPFM 01-19. The
applicant states that the intent of the guidance was to insure that
Directed by HAF report be accomplished (on officers who meet the
criteria) provided that a minimum of 60 days supervision is obtained
absolutely no later than 5 Sep 01.
The applicant’s complete response is at Exhibit F.
The applicant’s rater also submitted a rebuttal to the Air Force
evaluations. He confirms that he prepared a report that should have
been in applicant’s record. He also agrees with the applicant’s
interpretation of when a Directed by HAF report was required.
Finally, he indicates that to use a TR as the latest performance
report in the applicant’s record gravely and negatively impacted his
chances for promotion to lieutenant colonel.
The complete evaluation is at Exhibit G.
_______________________________________________________________
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 error or injustice. We took notice of the
applicant's complete submission in judging the merits of the case;
however, we agree with the opinions and recommendations of the Air
Force offices of primary responsibility and adopt their rationale as
the basis for our 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 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 Air Force advisory states the only way the applicant could ensure the board members were aware of his award was to write the board president for each respective board. Exhibit D.

A complete copy of the evaluation is at Exhibit C. _________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: The applicant contends by regulation the OPR was required to have been a matter of record at the time of the CY01B board. Therefore, the award cannot be included in the applicant’s OSR for CY01B board’s consideration because it did not exist when...

Notwithstanding the timing of his board and the advice given by his commander, the applicant was considered for promotion based on his complete record of...

Applicant’s OSB for the CY02B board dated 4 November 2002 incorrectly shows the “M” prefix on her “Duty” AFSC under “Assignment History.” Further, applicant submitted copies of her Officer Preselection Brief (OPB) dated 23 July 2003 for the CY02B board which indicates a duty title on 4 February 2001 as “Ambulatory Procedures/Nurse Anesthetist Chief” which was not shown on her OSB when meeting the CY02B board. Based on AFPC/DPAMF2’s advisory and the evidence provided, they recommend SSB...
