Colonel Selection Board.

Colonel Selection Board.

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He never held the position and does not know how the  duty  title  got
into his records.

In support of his appeal, the applicant provided copies of his Officer
Preselection Brief (OPB) and OSB.

Applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPASA indicated that based on the applicant's OPB and OSB  and  a
review of his OPRs, the applicant's assertion that his  OSB  contained
an incorrect duty title appears to be correct.

A complete copy of the AFPC/DPASA evaluation is at Exhibit C.

AFPC/DPPPO recommended denial indicating that although the  additional
duty title entry of “Program Manager” was incorrectly  listed  on  the
applicant's OSB, his duty title effective  17 Apr 01,  as  “Dep  Progm
Mngr,  JSOW,”  was  correctly  reflected  on  his   P0502B   Promotion
Recommendation Form (PRF) that met the board.  As such,  they  believe
the  board  was  able  to  distinguish  the  difference  between   the
information  on  the  OSB,  and  the  information  reflected  on   the
applicant’s PRF.  Additionally,  while  it  may  be  argued  that  the
incorrect duty title was a factor  in  the  applicant’s  nonselection,
there was no clear evidence that this  data  negatively  impacted  his
promotion opportunity.  In fact, the administrative error favored  the
applicant in that it showed career progression from “Dep  Progm  Mngr,
JSOW” to “Program Manager.”  Central boards evaluate  the  entire  OSR
(including  the   promotion   recommendation   form,   OPRs,   officer
effectiveness  reports,  training  reports,  letters  of   evaluation,
decorations, and OSB), assessing whole  person  factors  such  as  job
performance, professional qualities, depth and breadth of  experience,
leadership, and academic and professional military  education.   Thus,
they were not convinced this administrative error contributed  to  the
applicant’s nonselection for promotion.

A complete copy of the AFPC/DPPPO evaluation is at Exhibit D.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to applicant  on  9
Jun 03 for review and response.  As of this date, no response has been
received by this office (Exhibit E).

_________________________________________________________________

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.   After  reviewing  the  evidence
presented, we are sufficiently persuaded that the  applicant  may  not
have been fairly and equitably considered for promotion to  the  grade
of lieutenant colonel by the CY02B Lieutenant Colonel Board because of
an  incorrect  duty  title  on  his  OSB.   Although  it   cannot   be
conclusively determined what impact the erroneous duty title may  have
had on the applicant’s promotion opportunity, we believe  that,  given
the particulars of this case, any doubt  should  be  resolved  in  his
favor.  Accordingly, we recommend  that  the  applicant's  records  be
corrected as set forth below, and he  be  provided  SSB  consideration
with his corrected records.

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:

The pertinent military records of the  Department  of  the  Air  Force
relating to APPLICANT, be corrected to show that his Officer Selection
Brief (OSB) prepared for consideration  by  the  Calendar  Year  2002B
Central  Lieutenant  Colonel  Selection  Board  be  amended   in   the
“Assignment History” section by deleting the duty  title  of  "Program
Manager," with an effective date of 20 Nov 01.

It is further recommended that he be considered for promotion  to  the
grade of lieutenant colonel by  a  Special  Selection  Board  for  the
Calendar Year 2002B Central Lieutenant Colonel  Selection  Board  with
the corrected OSB.
