RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2003-00713
INDEX CODE: 131.01
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His record include the Meritorious Service Medal (MSM) for the period
28 August 1996 to 28 June 2002 and he be considered by Special
Selection Board (SSB) for the Calendar Year 2002 (CY02) Lieutenant
Colonel Selection Board.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The MSM was missing from his record when it met the CY02 selection
board. He contends that had the medal been included in his package
before the board, the board would have scored his record higher.
In support of his appeal, applicant has provided a copy of the special
order awarding him the MSM and a copy of the citation to accompany the
award.
His complete submission is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant is currently serving on extended active duty in the grade of
major. He was considered but not selected for promotion to the grade
of lieutenant colonel by the CY02 Lieutenant Colonel Selection Board.
The contested MSM was not in his record when considered by the CY02
Board.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPPO reviewed this application and recommended denial. They
state that the decoration was not a matter of record at the time the
board convened on 12 November 2002. While the applicant believes the
award should have been included, DPPPO states that the promotion order
was not published until 14 November 2002 (2 days after the Board
convened), and was not present in the Military Personnel Data System
(MilPDS) at the time the Board convened. By regulation, update of the
award in MilPDS did not have to occur until, but not later than, 14
December 2002. Therefore, at the time the Board convened, the award,
officially was not a matter of record.
DPPPO’s complete evaluation is at Exhibit B.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on
18 April 2003 for review and comment within 30 days. 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. We took notice of the
applicant's complete submission in judging the merits of the case;
however, we agree with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force
office of primary responsibility that the contested award was not
required to be a matter of record when he was considered for promotion
by the CY02 board. Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the
contrary, we find no compelling basis to recommend granting the relief
sought in this application.
_________________________________________________________________
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.

They recommend that the AFBCMR approve the applicant’s consideration for promotion by SSB for the CY02B Central Lieutenant Colonel Selection Board with the JSCM he was awarded for the period 7 Feb 02 to 13 Jun 02 included in his OSR. They recommend that the OPR rendered for the period 29 Sep 01 through 28 Sep 02 not be included in the applicant’s OSR since the OPR was not required to be on file by the date the promotion board convened.
