RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: 99-03003
XXXXXXXXXXXXXX COUNSEL: None
XXX-XX-XXXX HEARING DESIRED: No
____________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
He be promoted to the grade of lieutenant colonel as if selected by the
CY97C (21 Jul 97) Central Lieutenant Colonel Promotion Board, with original
date of rank and all back pay and allowances.
____________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant was nonselected for promotion to lieutenant colonel in-the-
promotion-zone by the CY97C Central Lieutenant Colonel Promotion Board.
Based on an appeal to the Evaluation Reports Appeal Board (ERAB) to include
his corrected Officer Performance Report (OPR) closing out 27 Apr 97
and corrected Promotion Recommendation Form for the CY97C board in his
record, the applicant was granted promotion consideration by Special
Selection Board for the CY97C and CY98B Central Lieutenant Colonel
Promotion Boards. He was nonselected by both Boards.
On 27 April 2000, the AFBCMR considered the applicant’s request as stated
above. The Board denied his request (see Exhibit F).
On 14 May 2002, the applicant submitted new evidence and requested
reconsideration of his case (Exhibit G).
____________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
1. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the
existence of error or injustice warranting the applicant’s promotion to
the grade of lieutenant colonel through the correction of records process.
The applicant’s contentions are duly noted; however, we are not persuaded
that the SSB that considered his corrected record was not convened in
accordance with applicable law. Both the grades of the board members and
the career areas represented complied with statutory and regulatory
requirements. In regard to the applicant’s assertion that the “DP” he
received based on his corrected record put him in the “virtually 100%
select category,” we do not find this argument sufficiently compelling to
substantiate that the SSB should have selected him for promotion. The
less than 100% selection rate for “DP” recipients at the central board
establishes that the receipt of such a recommendation does not guarantee
promotion and that the subjective scoring of records is a critical part of
the selection process. In the absence of clear-cut evidence that the
applicant should have been selected for promotion to the grade of
lieutenant colonel by the SSB, we do not recommend approval of his request
for direct promotion.
2. Notwithstanding the above determination, we believe that there are
grounds to convene another SSB. After reviewing the new evidence of
record and the strong letter of support the applicant originally provided
from a general officer that served as a panel chief and voting member of
his original promotion board, an element of doubt has been created as to
whether the applicant would have been promoted had his corrected record
met the original board. While we are not completely persuaded that the
applicant would have been selected for promotion, in order to remove any
doubt and to preserve the appearance of fairness and objectivity in the
officer promotion system, we believe that the applicant should be
considered for promotion by another SSB. We believe this will remove any
doubt as to whether or not he should be promoted to the next grade.
Therefore, we recommend 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 he was not considered for
promotion to the grade of lieutenant colonel by Special Selection Board
for the Calendar Year 1997C Central Lieutenant Colonel Selection Board
that convened on 11 January 1999.
It is further recommended that he be considered for promotion to the grade
of lieutenant colonel by Special Selection Board.

He still maintains that his senior rater did not give him a strong enough push for a DP at the MLR and that the OPR closing out 17 Jun 97 (originally 5 Aug 97) generated by a Change of Reporting Official was delayed due to rating chain mismanagement and inattentiveness. The complete evaluation is at Exhibit C. The Appeals and SSB Branch, AFPC/DPPPA, evaluated this application and recommends denial of the applicant’s request for a direct promotion.

He contends, in part, that his unnecessary break in service and the annotated documents in his records caused the MLR board not to award him a “DP” on the CY97C PRF and the promotion...
