RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2003-00845
INDEX CODE: 131.01, 102.02
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His Officer Selection Record (OSR) be corrected to include the award
of the Joint Service Achievement Medal (JSAM) and he receive Special
Selection Board (SSB) consideration for promotion to the grade of
lieutenant colonel for the Calendar Year 2002B Selection Board.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His (OSR) did not contain a copy of his JSAM citation after he
requested to have his record updated. He was able to have his Officer
Selection Brief (OSB) updated to reflect the medal, prior to the
lieutenant colonel promotion board, but a copy of the decoration
citation was not added to his OSR. Therefore, an incomplete record
met the promotion board. The JSAM citation showed accomplishments as
a major and should have been part of his record.
In support of his request, the applicant submitted a letter of
support, a copy of the JSAM special order, a copy of the JSAM citation
and a personal statement
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant is currently serving on active duty in the grade of
major.
Applicant was considered and not selected for promotion to the grade
of lieutenant colonel by the CY02B Lieutenant Colonel Selection Board.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPPO recommends denial and states that the purpose placing
copies of decoration citations in the OSR is to make the board members
aware of the level of the decorations. AFI 36-2608, Military
Personnel Records System, Table A2.1, Item 326, 1 July 1996, states
that orders granting decorations may be filed and maintained when a
like citation is not available. This speaks to the knowledge that a
decoration was given as opposed to the contents contained in the
citation. Accordingly, evidence of a decoration within the OSR speaks
to the decoration itself, not what the citation may or may not reveal.
Even though the JSAM citation was not on file for the board, it was
evidence before the board as it was listed on the OSB reviewed by the
board.
Therefore, the board members were aware of the decoration and it was
factored into their overall promotion evaluation. DPPPO is not
convinced the missing JSAM citation contributed to the applicant’s
promotion non-selection and recommend denial.
The DPPPO complete evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
He states that AFPC is not providing a complete picture of what the
promotion board saw while evaluating his record. On top of one
section of the record, was a memo for record indicating that there was
a discrepancy with his personnel record and that a decoration was
missing. If having only the title of awards listed on the OSB is
sufficient, the citations shouldn’t be included in any promotion
record and discrepancy reports shouldn’t be added to promotion records
in the event citations are missing.
He agrees that promotion boards evaluate the entire OSR, but his
record was missing two significant documents that reflected his
accomplishments as a major. He only requests that his complete
promotion record meet a special selection board.
His complete submission, with attachments, is at 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. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate
the existence of an error or injustice. We took notice of the
applicant’s complete submission in judging the merits of the case.
However, we are not persuaded by the evidence presented in support of
his appeal that he was denied a fair opportunity to compete
successfully for promotion. In this regard, we note that, although
the JSAM citation was not contained within the applicant’s officer
selection record, it was evidence before the board as it was listed on
the officer selection brief, which was reviewed by the board.
Therefore, we agree with the opinion and recommendation of 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 the absence of persuasive
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.

Her overseas duty history was not on her OSB when the CY02B lieutenant colonel board met; however, her current duty has since been updated and does reflect completion of the overseas assignment to Turkey. The DPAMF2 evaluation is at Exhibit C. AFPC/DPPPO recommends denial. DPPPO states that completion of training courses are not reflected on OSBs; however, a training report filed in her Officer Selection Record (OSR) documented her attendance and completion of the course in 1991.
