IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  02-02142
            INDEX NUMBER:  131.00
      XXXXXXXXXXXX     COUNSEL:  None

      XXX-XX-XXXX      HEARING DESIRED:  No

__________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His Officer Selection Brief (OSB) and his “as met” Officer Selection
Record (OSR) for the CY01B Lieutenant  Colonel  Promotion  Selection
Board be  corrected  to  reflect  the  appropriate  duty  assignment
history.

He be considered for promotion  to  lieutenant  colonel  by  special
selection board (SSB) for the  CY01B  Lieutenant  Colonel  Promotion
Selection Board with the corrected record.

__________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

His OSB  did  not  correctly  reflect  his  duty  assignment  as  an
Executive Officer during the period between 14 May 98 and 6 Jul  99.
He reviewed the Officer Preselection Brief (OPB) that  was  provided
to him prior to the board  and  assumed  it  was  correct  since  it
reflected his executive officer Air  Force  Specialty  Code  (AFSC).
During a post board review, personnel at HQ AFPC informed  him  that
his duty title was incorrect  and  reflected  “Intel  Officer”  vice
“Executive Officer.”  He was advised that the incorrect  duty  title
might have indicated to the board that he had a short tenure  as  an
Executive Officer.

His duty history has since been corrected.

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 is 10 Nov 85.
 The applicant was considered and  not  selected  for  promotion  to
lieutenant colonel by  the  CY01B  (5  Nov  01)  Lieutenant  Colonel
Selection Board.  A review  of  his  last  ten  officer  performance
reports (OPRS) reflects overall ratings of “meets standards.”

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPAO confirms that the OSB for the applicant’s CY01  Lieutenant
Colonel Central Selection Board was missing the 97EO  Duty  AFSC  as
Executive Officer to the Commander, Aerospace C2 & ISR Center.  They
also confirm that the applicant’s records have since been corrected.
 They defer to the recommendation of  AFPC/DPPPO  contained  in  the
following advisory regarding the applicant’s request  for  promotion
consideration by SSB.

The complete evaluation is at Exhibit C.

AFPC/DPPPO  recommends  denial  of  the  applicant’s   request   for
promotion consideration by SSB.

Eligible officers are provided an OPB approximately 100  days  prior
to the board convening  date.   Along  with  the  OPB,  members  are
provided instructions on how to get discrepancies corrected prior to
the board convening.  The applicant received  this  sheet  in  early
August 2001.  He has not provided  any  information  regarding  what
action he took prior to the  board  convening  to  ensure  that  his
records were correct.

There is no clear evidence that the incorrect duty title  negatively
impacted his promotion opportunity.   Central  boards  evaluate  the
entire officer selection record, assessing whole person factors such
as job performance, professional qualities,  depth  and  breadth  of
experience,  leadership,  and  academic  and  professional  military
education.

The complete evaluation is at Exhibit D.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the  applicant
on 27 November 2002 for review and comment within 30 days.  To date,
a response has not been received.

__________________________________________________________________

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, the majority of the Board  agrees  with  the  opinions  and
recommendations of the Air Force offices of  primary  responsibility
and adopts their rationale as the primary basis for their conclusion
that the applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice.
 Applicant received his Officer Preselection Brief and the  majority
of  the  Board  believes  that  he  failed  to  exercise  reasonable
diligence to ensure that his records were  corrected  prior  to  the
convening of the selection board in  question.   Therefore,  in  the
absence of evidence to the contrary, the  Board  majority  finds  no
compelling basis to recommend granting the  relief  sought  in  this
application.

__________________________________________________________________

RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD:

A majority of the Board finds  insufficient  evidence  of  error  or
injustice and recommends the application be denied.

MEMORANDUM FOR THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, AIR FORCE BOARD
                 FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS (AFBCMR)

SUBJECT:  AFBCMR Application of XXXXXXXXXX, XXX-XX-XXXX

      I have carefully reviewed the evidence of record and the
recommendation of the Board members.  A majority found that applicant
had not provided sufficient evidence of error or injustice and
recommended the case be denied.  I concur with that finding and their
conclusion that relief is not warranted.  Accordingly, I accept their
recommendation that the application be denied.

      Please advise the applicant accordingly.
