RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2003-01485
INDEX CODE: 131.01, 107.00
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
She be given Special Selection Board (SSB) consideration by the
Calendar Year 2002B (CY02B) Lieutenant Colonel Central Selection
Board.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
Her Officer Selection Record (OSR) reviewed by the CY02B Board did not
contain her renewed Inpatient Obstetric Nursing Certificate expiring
30 September 2005.
In support of her request, the applicant submitted a Memorandum for
AFPC/DPPAB, dated 21 Apr 03, a copy of a Memorandum of Non-Selection
for Promotion, a copy of fax cover letter, a copy of her Inpatient
Obstetric Certification, and a copy of the current Inpatient Obstetric
Certification.
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant is currently serving in the Regular Air Force in the
grade of major. Applicant was considered and not selected for
promotion to the grade of lieutenant colonel by the CY02 selection
board that convened on 2 November 2002. Her record did not contain a
copy of her updated Nursing Certification.
On 18 March 2003, AFPC/DPAMN received a copy of applicant’s renewed
Inpatient Obstetric Nursing certificate and delivered a copy to the
record’s section for inclusion in her record. Applicant also faxed a
copy of the certificate to AFPC/DPPBR1, and received confirmation of
receipt.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPAMF2 makes no recommendation on the case.
The DPAMF2 complete evaluation is at Exhibit C.
AFPC/DPPPO recommends denial. Although the applicant provides a fax
coversheet, dated 25 March 2002, requesting that the faxed copy of the
Inpatient Obstetric specialty certification replace the current copy
of the certificate filed in her records and further claims that she
contacted AFPC/DPPBR1 on 1 April 2002, the facts remain that she not
only sent the updated certificate to the incorrect office for
processing, she also indicates that she was specifically told the
update to her record was temporary. With that, the applicant offers
no explanation as to what actions she took prior to the board to
ensure the document was permanently accepted for filing in her OSR.
While it is unfounded that the missing certificate influenced the
board’s decision to nonselect the applicant for promotion, if
exercising reasonable diligence, the applicant should have discovered
the error and taken corrective action as prescribed in published
guidance prior to the board.
The nursing certificate expiring 30 Sep 05 was missing from the
applicant’s OSR; however, the board was aware that she was board
certified as evidenced on the CY02B OSB. Furthermore, the member was
not thorough with correcting her records before the board convened.
The DPPPO complete evaluation is at Exhibit D.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the applicant on
22 Aug 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 probable error or injustice. Applicant contends that
her records were not fairly assessed because her Officer Selection
Record (OSR) did not contain a copy of the renewed inpatient obstetric
nursing certificate. The Air Force has indicated that although a copy
of the renewed nursing certificate was not in her OSR, the Officer
Selection Brief (OSB) assessed by the Board, did show that she was
board certified; therefore, the board members were aware of her
nursing certification. Central boards evaluate the entire officer
record and it is highly unlikely that the missing renewed nursing
certificate was the cause of her nonselection. 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 and adopt their rationale as the
basis for our conclusion that the applicant has not been the victim of
an error or injustice. Therefore, we find no basis upon which to
recommend favorable action on 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. Based on AFPC/DPAMF2’s advisory and the evidence provided, they recommend SSB...

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.

Had the initial orders, dated 4 Sep 02, been correct in awarding the applicant the AFCM 1OLC rather than the Air Force Achievement Medal (AFAM), we believe the citation for the AFCM 1OLC would have been in her Officer Selection Record (OSR) when she was considered by the CY02B selection board. It is further recommended that she be considered for promotion to the grade of major by a Special Selection Board for the CY02B Central Major Selection Board with the corrected record. OLGA M....
