RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2003-01114
INDEX CODE: 131.01
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
She be considered for promotion to the grade of lieutenant colonel by
Special Selection Board for the Calendar Year 2002B (CY02B) Central
Lieutenant Colonel (Nurse Corps) Selection Board.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
Her Officer Selection Brief (OSB) prepared for the 4 Nov 02 board did not
reflect her training as a Women's Health Care Nurse Practitioner or her
second overseas short tour. She attended the certification course in April
1991 and she was stationed at Incirlik AB, Turkey from June 2000 to June
2002.
In support of her request, applicant provided a copy of her OSB. Her
complete submission, with attachment is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant was appointed a second lieutenant, Reserve of the Air Force, on
31 Jul 86. She was voluntarily ordered to extended active duty on 14 Oct
86. She was progressively promoted to the grade of major, having assumed
that grade effective and with a date of rank of 1 Mar 99.
She was considered and not selected for promotion to the grade of
lieutenant colonel by the CY02B lieutenant colonel selection board, which
convened on 12 Nov 02.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPMAF2 states that OSBs reflect the highest education level achieved
but do not reflect certifications. 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. Thus, the board members were aware of her training and
it was factored into their overall promotion evaluation. Her OSR contained
Officer Performance Reports closing 30 Apr 01 and 30 Apr 02, which
reflected her overseas assignment to Turkey. In addition, she also
received a Meritorious Service Medal for the tour. As such, the promotion
board members were fully aware of her overseas tour history and DPPPO does
not believe the administrative omission resulted in her nonselection for
promotion and therefore, DPPPO does not recommend approval of her request
for SSB consideration.
Each eligible officer received an Officer Preselection Brief (OPB) 90-100
days prior to the board convening date. Written instruction attached to
the OPB specifically instruct each eligible officer to carefully examine
the brief for completeness and accuracy and to take corrective action of
any errors prior to the selection board, not after it. The applicant did
not provide any evidence she exercised reasonable diligence in attempting
to correct her overseas history prior to the board convening. The DPPPO
evaluation is at Exhibit D.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the applicant on 9
Jun 03 for review and comment within 30 days. As of this date, this office
has received no response.
_________________________________________________________________
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 contends that her OSB
prepared for the CY02B lieutenant colonel selection board was inaccurate
because it did not reflect her training as a Women's Health Care Nurse
Practitioner or her second overseas short tour to Incirlik, Turkey. After
thorough review of the evidence presented we note that the completion of
certification training courses are not authorized for annotation on the
OSB. We agree with the Air Force offices of primary responsibility that
even though her overseas assignment was not annotated in the Overseas Duty
History area of the OSB, the Assignment History reflected her tour in
Turkey; and as well, her OSR contained OPRS and a decoration that was
awarded as a result of her tour. Therefore, we believe that the selection
board members were reasonably made aware of her overseas tour in their
consideration of her potential to serve in the next higher grade.
Accordingly, 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.

Applicant’s OSB for the CY02B board dated 4 November 2002 incorrectly shows the “M” prefix on her “Duty” AFSC under “Assignment History.” Further, applicant submitted copies of her Officer Preselection Brief (OPB) dated 23 July 2003 for the CY02B board which indicates a duty title on 4 February 2001 as “Ambulatory Procedures/Nurse Anesthetist Chief” which was not shown on her OSB when meeting the CY02B board.
