She be considered for promotion to the grade of major by a Special
Selection Board (SSB) for the FY04 Line and Health Professions Major
Position Vacancy Selection Board, with her Officer Performance Report
(OPR), closing 16 February 2003, as part of his Promotion Selection
Folder.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
Her OPR, closing 16 February 2003, was not completed by 3 February

In support of her request, applicant submits an e-mail to SAF/MRBR,
dated 19 June 2003, and a copy of the OPR in question. The

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ ARPC/DPB recommends the application be denied. DPB stated that the
OPR in question closed out 16 February 2003, two weeks after the
selection board convened on 3 February 2003. Final scoring for the
FY04 Line and Health Professions Major Position Vacancy Selection
Board was completed on 6 February 2003. The OPR in question was not
due for placement in the applicant’s selection folder and was not
eligible for consideration by this board because it closed out after
the selection board adjourned. DPB indicated that the applicant did
receive a Promotion Recommendation (PRF), which was in her record when
viewed by the selection board. The HQ ARPC/DPB evaluation is at
Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to applicant on
11 July 2003 for review and response. As of this date, no response
has been received by this office (Exhibit D).
_________________________________________________________________
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 and adopt the rationale expressed as
the basis for our decision that the applicant has failed to sustain
her burden that she has suffered either an error or an injustice. In
this respect, we note that the Officer Performance Report (OPR) in
question was her annual report, with the closing date of 16 February
2003. Inasmuch as the OPR closed out after the FY04 Line and Health
Professions Major Position Vacancy Selection Board adjourned, it was
not eligible for consideration by this selection board. In view of
the above and absent 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.

On 1 April 2004, the AFBCMR considered and, by a majority vote, recommended approval of applicant's request for removal of the OPR, closing 10 February 2002, LOCs, LOA, UIF, and all references thereto, from his records and SSB consideration, with his corrected record. As to the Board’s previous decision, DPB indicates that HQ ARPC complied (all available references to the LOC, LOA, UIF and the OPR were removed from the applicant’s record), and awarded SSB in lieu of the FY03 and FY04 Line...

In this regard, we noted the statement from the applicant’s flight commander to HQ ARPC, which the senior rater concurred with, indicating that the applicant’s position vacancy promotion recommendation form (PV PRF) package was completed in a timely manner, but for several reasons was not processed by the published suspense date, resulting in the applicant being denied an opportunity for promotion consideration. ___________________________________________________________________ THE BOARD...

Since 1990, the applicant has successfully been promoted to the grade of captain (where the missing OPR would have been the second OPR from the top) and to major (the missing OPR would have been the seventh from the top). According to ARPC/DPB, selection boards must use the “whole person” concept to arrive at a decision for promotability of any officer. A complete copy of the ARPC/DPB evaluation is at Exhibit C. _________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT'S...

OPRs are considered “late” if they are not received and filed in the OSR 90 days after the closeout date. The applicant’s Promotion Recommendation Form (PRF) was present in his record. We note that the applicant’s OPR closing 30 Apr 02 was not required to be on file when the applicant was considered for promotion by the FY03 Line and Health Professions Lieutenant Colonel Position Vacancy Selection Board, which convened on 24 Jun 02.

After reviewing the comments provided by the Air Force, we are persuaded that the OPR closing 9 May 2001 should have been in his records at the time the FY03 board convened. _________________________________________________________________ THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT: The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force relating to APPLICANT, to include the Officer Performance Report for the period 10 May 2000 through 9 May 2001, be considered for promotion to the grade of...

His commander received an informal email in late November 2002 requesting that an Officer Performance Report (OPR) be prepared for the February 2003 major board. Since he is no longer a member of the Air Force Reserve as a result of the two nonselections, he is not eligible for consideration by a Reserve promotion board. All of the officers selected for promotion by the FY03 board had completed SOS and 94% of the officers selected by the FY04 board had completed SOS.
