            COUNSEL:  NONE

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

In the applicant’s request for reconsideration, he  submits  a  letter  from
the  commander  requesting  his  records   be   amended   to   correct   the
stratification on his CY99B PRF.

________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant is currently serving on extended active duty in the  grade  of
major.

On 10 September 2001, the applicant submitted an application requesting  the
following:

    1.  The Officer Performance Reports (OPRs) rendered for the  periods  15
August 1995 through 14 August 1996 and 15  August  1996  through  6  October
1997,  be  corrected  to  reflect  “AWC”  (Air  War  College)  as  his   PME
recommendation.

    2.  The stratification on his CY99B PRF  be  changed  to  reflect,  “TOP
10%” (currently Top 20%).

    3.  His Officer Selection Brief (OSB) be corrected.   (1)  OSB  did  not
contain a TDY period (7 June 1991  to  3  October  1993)  in  Overseas  Duty
History; (2) OSB had incorrect command levels  in  Assignment  History;  and
(3) Officer Selection Assignment History omitted Squadron Officer School.

    4.  He be considered for promotion to the grade  of  lieutenant  colonel
by Special Selection Boards (SSBs) for the Calendar Years 1999  (CY99B)  and
2000(CY00A) central lieutenant colonel selection boards.

On 2 May 2002, the Board considered and denied the applicant’s requests.   A
complete copy of the Record of Proceedings is attached at Exhibit H.

The applicant submitted a letter  from  the  commander,  dated      12  June
2002,  requesting  applicant’s   records   be   amended   to   correct   the
stratification on his CY99B PRF.  In support of his request, he  provided  a
copy of AFPC Website, HQ  AFMC/DP  Website,  a  copy  of  the  Senior  Rater
Perspective Briefing, a corrected PRF and an alternate  PRF.   His  complete
submission is attached at Exhibit I.  Subsequent  to  the  letter  from  the
commander, an additional advisory was requested.

______________________________________________________________

ADDITIONAL AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPPPE states that the applicant has  failed  to  realize  that  he  was
eligible to be selected as a non-candidate for the 1995, 1996, and 1997  PME
Central Selection Boards for  consideration  to  attend  ISS  in  residence;
therefore, it is clear that the applicant was indeed eligible for  ISS  when
his 14 August 1996 and 6 October 1997 OPRs closed out.  The appropriate  PME
recommendation for his 14 August  1996  and  6  October  1997  OPRs  was  to
recommend for ISS, since he had not completed ISS and was still eligible  to
attend (in-residence).

In summary, since the applicant’s DOR to Major is  1  May  1996,  DPAPE  has
verified that the applicant was eligible to meet the following  ISS  boards:
1995 ISS CSB, and 1997 ISS CSB.  Air Force  policy  is  that  an  evaluation
report is accurate as written when it  becomes  a  matter  of  record.   Any
change  to  the  PME  recommendation  would  cause  it  to  be   inaccurate.
Therefore, they recommend denial of applicant’s request.

A complete copy of their evaluation is attached at Exhibit J.

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT’S REVIEW OF ADDITIONAL AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

Applicant reviewed the additional Air Force evaluation and states  that  the
opinion does not address the issue currently under  review  by  the  AFBCMR.
Instead, it addresses the issue of PME recommendations that  was  previously
opined by HQ AFPC/DPPPE on 28 November  2001.   Since  then,  his  case  was
reopened by the AFBCMR on 12 June 2002 to address newly discovered  relevant
evidence regarding stratification on PRFs.

A copy of applicant’s response, with attachments, is attached at Exhibit L.

________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

1.    The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing law or
regulations.

2.    The application was timely filed.

3.    Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to  demonstrate  the
existence of error or injustice.  The Air Force  has  indicated  that  the
applicant has failed to realize that he was eligible to be selected  as  a
non-candidate for the 1995, 1996, and 1997 PME  Central  Selection  Boards
for consideration to attend ISS in residence; therefore, it is clear  that
the applicant was indeed eligible for ISS when his 14 August  1996  and  6
October 1997 OPRs closed out.  In view of the foregoing and in  an  effort
to remove any possibility of an injustice to the applicant,  we  recommend
that his records be amended to correct the  stratification  on  his  CY99B
PRF, be considered for promotion to the grade  of  lieutenant  colonel  by
Special Selection Board (SSB) for the Calendar Years 1999 (CY99B) and 2000
(CY00A) central lieutenant colonel selection boards.

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:

The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force relating
to APPLICANT, be corrected to show that the stratification  on  his  CY99B
PRF is changed to reflect “Top 10%.”

It is further recommended that he be considered for promotion to the grade
of lieutenant colonel by Special Selection Board (SSB)  for  the  Calendar
Years 1999 (CY99B) and 2000 (CY00A) Central Lieutenant  Colonel  Selection
Boards.
