      XXXXXXXXXXX      COUNSEL:  None

      XXX-XX-XXXX      HEARING DESIRED:  No

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Her officer selection record (OSR) for the calendar  year  (CY)  2002A
Central Major Selection Board be  corrected  to  include  the  Nursing
Certificate (Certified Nurse Operating Room) in her records.

The Promotion Recommendation Form (PRF) prepared on her  and  reviewed
by the CY02A Central Major Selection Board be revised to  reflect  her
duties as a flight commander for the officer accession team.

She be considered for promotion to major by  special  selection  board
(SSB) for the CY02A Central Major Selection Board with  the  corrected
record.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

Although she held the position of flight  commander  for  the  Officer
Accession Team for seven months prior to her PRF  being  prepared,  it
did not reflect these duties.

Her Nursing Certificate was not in her records although she  faxed  it
to AFPC.

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
captain.  Her Total Active Federal Military Service Date (TAFMSD) is 8
Jul 92.  The applicant has two nonselections to major by the CY02A and
CY02B Central Major Promotion  Selection  Boards.   A  review  of  her
officer  performance  reports  reflects  overall  ratings  of   “meets
standards.”

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPAMF2  reviewed  the  applicant’s  application  and   makes   no
recommendation.  AFPC/DPAMN verified that the duties indicated on  the
applicant’s PRF for the CY02A selection board reflect the  duties  she
was serving at the time.  The Nursing  certificate  was  received  and
confirmed on 27 Aug 02 and should have been  on  file  for  the  CY02B
Central Major Promotion Selection Board.

The complete evaluation is at Exhibit C.

AFPC/DPPPE  recommends  denial  of  the  applicant’s   request.    The
applicant has not provided a new  PRF  with  supportive  documentation
from the  senior  rater  and  management  level  review  president  as
required.  To change Section IV, the  senior  rater  must  demonstrate
that there was a material error in the PRF, a material  error  in  the
record of performance, which substantially impacted the content of the
PRF, or a material error in the process by which the PRF was  crafted.
In addition, the applicant must demonstrate that she  took  corrective
actions prior to the Central Selection Board convening.  The applicant
has not met these requirements.

The complete evaluation is at Exhibit D.

AFPC/DPPPO recommends denial of the applicant’s request for  promotion
consideration by  SSB.   In  addition  to  the  comments  provided  in
AFPC/DPPPE’s evaluation regarding  her  nursing  board  certification,
they note that the CY02A promotion selection board was  aware  of  the
certificate as indicated by the “Yes” entry  in  the  board  certified
block of the Officer Selection Brief (OSB) prepared for that board.

The complete evaluation is at Exhibit E.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

Copies of the Air force evaluations were forwarded to the applicant on
23 May 03 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.  The applicant failed to  provide
a revised PRF with support by the senior rater to support her  request
that the PRF considered by the CY02A Central Major Selection Board  be
revised to reflect her duties as a Flight Commander  for  the  Officer
Accession team.   The  Board  notes  that  the  duty  titles  and  job
descriptions on the PRFs for both the CY02A and  CY02B  Central  Major
Selection Boards are the same and has  no  way  of  knowing  what  the
applicant thinks should be reflected in the recommendation section  of
the PRF.  Additionally, the applicant has  not  provided  any  support
from her rating chain for her request.  It is  the  responsibility  of
the senior rater to prepare the PRF  and  their  support  is  normally
required to effect a change.  The Board is unclear as to  which  Board
the applicant is stating that her medical certificate was not on file.
 Based on the information provided by AFPC/DPAMF2, her certificate was
received on 27 Aug 02, which means it should have been present for the
CY02B board.  However, even if the certificate was missing, we believe
this would constitute a harmless error  since  the  Officer  Selection
Brief for the CY02A board does reflect that the applicant  was  “Board
Certified.”  Based on the lack of compelling evidence presented by the
applicant,  we  find  no  basis  to  recommend  granting  the   relief
requested.

_______________________________________________________________

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:

The  applicant  be  notified  that  the  evidence  presented  did  not
demonstrate the existence of 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 not considered with this application.
