INDEX CODE: 131.00
COUNSEL: None
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
He receive Special Selection Board (SSB) consideration by the Calendar
Year 2002B (CY02B) Colonel Central Selection Board (CSB).
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The citation to accompany his Meritorious Service Medal with Second
Oak Leaf Cluster (MSM, 2OLC) for the period 8 July 1997 to 12 June
2000 was missing from his Officer Selection Record (OSR) for CY02B
promotion board. He believes this put him at a disadvantage during
the promotion board process.
Applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is attached at
Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant is currently serving on active duty in the grade of
lieutenant colonel.
Applicant was considered, but not selected for promotion to the grade
of colonel by the CY02B Colonel Central Selection Board.
Applicant’s OPR profile as a lieutenant colonel is listed below.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ AFPC/DPPPO states the written instructions which are attached to
the Officer Preselection Brief (OPB) inform the officer to request a
copy of their OSR from AFPC or to contact the records clerk by
telephone and go over the contents of their records to ensure they are
accurate and complete. The instructions specifically state that the
officer should ensure that all awarded decoration citations are in the
records. It appears the applicant reviewed his records locally and
never requested a copy of his OSR from AFPC. The applicant has not
provided any documentation to show that he tried prior to the board to
request a copy of his OSR or contact the records clerk for a record
review.
AFPC/DPPPO upon reviewing the applicant’s OSR noted the citation still
had not been filed the applicant’s record. They provided the Records
Section a copy of the citation to be filed on 18 August 2003.
There is no clear evidence that the missing MSM citation was a factor
in the applicant’s nonselection, or if it negatively impacted his
opportunity for promotion. Central boards evaluate servicemembers’
entire OSR. The central boards consider the members' job performance,
professional qualities, depth and breadth of experience, leadership,
and academic and professional military education. They also include
in their assessment for promotion consideration promotion
recommendation forms, officer performance reports, officer
effectiveness reports, training reports, letters of evaluation,
decorations and officer selection briefs.
Based on the evidence presented, they recommend denial.
A copy of the Air Force evaluation is attached at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR STAFF EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on
19 September 2003, for review and response. 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. After thoroughly reviewing the
evidence of record, we are not sufficiently persuaded that the
applicant should be provided consideration for promotion to the grade
of colonel by a Special Selection Board for the Calendar Year 2002B
selection board. Although the applicant’s citation to the MSM, 2OLC
was not filed in his OSR, it was reflected on his OSB. Therefore,
presumably the selection board knew of its existence and factored it
into their consideration. We note that the written instructions that
are attached to the OPB and given to the officers prior to the
convening of the board instructed servicemembers to request a copy of
their OSR from HQ AFPC, or to contact the records clerk by telephone
to review the contents of their records to ensure the record was
intact and all awarded decorations citations were in the record.
Although the applicant reviewed his records locally, he has not
provided any evidence to show he requested a copy of his records from
HQ AFPC or reviewed the contents of his records with the records
clerk. We are aware that central boards evaluate the entire officer
record, thus it is highly unlikely the missing citation was the sole
cause of his nonselection by the CY02B 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.

It is the officer’s responsibility to ensure the accuracy of his record at AFPC prior to the board convening date, not after he has been nonselected for promotion. The Air Force had a duty to present to the promotion board an accurate record. Applicant contends that his records were not fairly assessed because the Air Force failed to correct his OSB after proper notification of the errors, and the citation for the MSM 2/OLC was missing from his OSR, which prevented his record from being...

With a 16 May 2003 order date, the citation would not have been included in his selection record nor would it be reflected in the personnel data systems at the time the board convened. After thoroughly reviewing the complete case file, the Board noted that the applicant’s Officer Selection Record and Officer Selection Brief did not contain and reflect the award of two Army Commendations and a second Meritorious Service Medal (MSM). ...

3. Corrections be made to the Overseas Duty History, Academic Education, and Assignment History of the CY02B OSB. DPAO deleted two entries from his duty history "because TDY duty history is not updated in a member's duty history." The applicant requests numerous corrections be made to his OSR as it met the CY02B Lieutenant Colonel Selection Board and that he receive SSB consideration for promotion by that board.
