RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: 02-02360
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His Officer Selection Record (OSR) be corrected to include the award
of the Air Force Meritorious Service Medal (MSM), the Joint Service
Achievement Medal (JSAM) and he receive Special Selection Board (SSB)
consideration for promotion to the grade of major for the Calendar
Year 2002A (CY02A) Major Selection Board.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
Based on the close-out dates, both the JSAM and MSM should have been
in his personnel records when they met the CY02A board. However, an
administrative delay prevented both awards from making the board for
consideration.
In support of his appeal, the applicant submitted a copy of his
Officer Surf.
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachment, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant is currently serving on extended active duty in the
grade of captain.
Applicant was considered and not selected for promotion to the grade
of major by the CY97C, CY98B, CY99A, CY00A, CY00B, CY01A and CY02A
Major Selection Boards.
______________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPPO recommended denial. DPPPO disagrees with the applicant’s
contention that his JSAM and MSM were missing from his OSR when it met
the CY02A board. In researching this issue, DPPPO found that although
the period of the JSAM was through 1 Jul 99, and the period of the
MSM was through 23 Dec 01, orders were not published until 26 Feb 02
and 27 Feb 02, respectively. As directed in AFI 36-2803, paragraph
3.1, the applicant’s rating chain has up to two years to submit a
recommendation for decoration after the service was performed. For
purposes of including these decorations in a board that convened on 19
Feb 02, the decoration did not yet exist. AFI 36-2803, Table 3.1,
note 5, directs forwarding citations and special orders within 30 days
of the date the special orders are published. The decorations were
not required to be updated in the military personnel data system, and
on file in his record until 26 Mar 02, for the JSAM, and 27 Mar 02,
for the MSM. As such, these decorations were not a matter of record
at the time the CY02A board convened on 19 Feb 02.
AFPC/DPPPO complete evaluation is at Exhibit C.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to applicant on 8 Nov
02 for review and comment. As of this date, no response has been
received by this office.
_________________________________________________________________
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. In this respect, the CY02A major
selection board convened on 19 Feb 02. The inclusive period of the
MSM closed out in December 2001 and the orders were published on 27
Feb 02; the inclusive period of the JSAM closed out in Jul 99 and the
orders were published 26 Feb 02, both of which occurred well after the
selection board had convened. His contentions are duly noted; however,
we agree with the Air Force office 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 in this matter.
Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no
basis upon which to recommend favorable action on this application
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of an 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 no considered with this application.

The decoration was awarded to the applicant by Special Order GJ-091, dated 30 Jun 03, which was after the CY02C board. Neither the citation nor the special order for this award correctly identifies the JSAM as the second, or 1OLC, award. Accordingly, we do not recommend SSB consideration for the CY02C board with this decoration on file, as it did not exist at the time of that board, although we do suggest the applicant have the special order and citation for the JSAM amended through...

A complete copy of the AFPC/DPAO evaluation is at Exhibit C. AFPC/DPPPO noted that each officer eligible for promotion by the P0502B board received an OPB 90-100 days prior to the central board convening date. Accordingly, we recommend that the applicant’s records be corrected as indicated below, and that he be provided SSB consideration with his corrected record. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the existence of error or injustice warranting corrective...

Had the initial orders, dated 4 Sep 02, been correct in awarding the applicant the AFCM 1OLC rather than the Air Force Achievement Medal (AFAM), we believe the citation for the AFCM 1OLC would have been in her Officer Selection Record (OSR) when she was considered by the CY02B selection board. It is further recommended that she be considered for promotion to the grade of major by a Special Selection Board for the CY02B Central Major Selection Board with the corrected record. OLGA M....

In support of his appeal, the applicant provided copies of the AFCM (OLC) citation and special order.

In support of his request, applicant provided his MSM citation and special order GB-18. DPPPO states that although the period of award for the decoration was through 17 Jul 01, the orders for the decoration were not published until 9 Nov 01. Thus, it is our opinion that the MSM was not a matter of record at the time the selection board convened and accordingly, it was not required to be included in his selection record.
