APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

In the applicant’s request for reconsideration, he requests that:

1.  The Officer Effectiveness Report (OER) for  the  period  closing  6  May
1987 be declared void and removed from his records.

2.  Declare the period 7 May 1986 - 1 May 1987 as “non-rated time.”

3.  He be considered for promotion to  the  grade  of  major  by  a  Special
Selection Board (SSB) and returned to active duty.

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

Applicant was considered and nonselected  for  promotion  to  the  grade  of
major by the CY87 (28 September 1987) and CY88 (6 June 1988)  Central  Major
Selection Boards.  On 31 January 1989, applicant  was  discharged  from  all
appointments based on his two nonselections for promotion to major.

On 28 July 1988, a similar appeal regarding the removal of his  OER  closing
6 May 1987  and  Letter  of  Evaluation  (LOE)  closing  1 August  1987  was
considered and denied by the Officer Personnel Records Review Board.

On 4 October 1990, a similar appeal was considered and denied by the  Board.
  For  an  accounting  of  the  facts  and  circumstances  surrounding   the
applicant’s service, and, the Board’s consideration of the appeal,  see  the
Record of Proceedings at Exhibit G.

Information extracted from the Military Personnel Data System reflects  that
the applicant is currently serving in the Air Force Reserve in the grade  of
staff sergeant with a date of rank of 27 June 2001.  Applicant’s  expiration
term of service is 26 June 2007.

On 18 June 2002, the applicant  submitted  a  request  for  reconsideration,
contending that it is his ultimate desire to return  to  active  duty  as  a
USAF officer.  However, his OER closing 6 May 1987 needs to be removed  from
his record  and  that  this  period  be  considered  “non-rated  time.”   In
addition, he requests a Special Selection Board be  held  to  evaluate  him.
It is then that his record will be strong enough to carry  him  through  the
Air Force and he will be able to gain his  long  sought-after  promotion  to
major.

In support of his appeal, the applicant  submits  a  personal  statement,  a
supportive statement from his spouse, and documents relating to  his  appeal
with Tabs A to Z.  The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit H.

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

Sufficient  relevant  evidence  has  been  presented  to   demonstrate   the
existence of error or injustice.  After a thorough review  of  the  evidence
provided we believe that substantial doubt has been established  as  to  the
fairness of the contested report and whether or not the report is an  honest
and accurate depiction of his overall performance during the time period  in
question.  While the applicant has not provided supporting  statements  from
the rating chain members, he has provided  a  detailed  statement  from  the
former Deputy Chief of Supply.   This  individual  appears  to  have  worked
closely with the applicant and had first-hand knowledge of  his  performance
during the period in question.   After  reviewing  the  applicant’s  overall
record and noting the comments from the Deputy Chief  of  Supply,  we  agree
that  the  rater  failed  in  her  responsibility  to  properly  assess  the
applicant’s  performance.   The  reasons  behind  the  rater’s  actions  are
unknown, however, we are sufficiently persuaded that factors other than  his
performance of duties were considered when  the  report  was  rendered.   In
view of the above  and  in  an  effort  to  remove  any  possibility  of  an
injustice, we recommend the contested OER be removed from his  records.   In
addition, we recommend his corrected record be considered for  promotion  to
the grade of major by a Special Selection Board (SSB) for the Calendar  Year
1987 and 1988 Central Major Selection Boards.  As a matter  of  information,
an AF Form 77 will be placed in applicant’s record to replace the  contested
OER, in accordance with the applicable regulations.

We have noted the applicant’s request for return to active duty.  Should  he
be selected for promotion by an SSB, upon notification  of  such  selection,
he would be afforded the opportunity to request reinstatement.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:

The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air  Force  relating
to APPLICANT be corrected to show that:
            a.  AF Form 707, Officer Effectiveness Report, rendered for  the
period 7 May 1986 through 6 May 1987 be declared void and removed  from  his
records.

            b.   It  is  further  recommended  that  he  be  considered  for
promotion to the grade of major by a Special Selection Board  for  the  CY87
Central Major Selection Board and for any subsequent boards  for  which  the
Officer Effectiveness Report closing 6 May 1987 was a matter of record.
