RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2003-03209
INDEX CODE: 107.00, 131.01
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
It appears that the applicant is requesting that he be considered for
promotion to the grade of lieutenant colonel, by Special Selection Board
(SSB) for the Calendar Year 2002 (CY02) Lieutenant Colonel Central
Selection Board; and that his Meritorious Service Medal (MSM) with a
closeout date of 30 Jun 02, be included in his Officer Selection Record
(OSR).
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The MSM was submitted with a close-out date of 30 Jun 02 but it took 6
months to process and was not approved until 2 Dec 02. Applicant feels
that his record was incomplete when it met the November 2002 board.
In support of his request, applicant provided a copy of his data
verification brief, and his Officer Selection Brief (OSB). His complete
submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Data extracted from the personnel data system reflects that on 25 Jun 99,
the applicant, a prior service Army officer, was appointed a major Reserve
of the Air Force, with a date of rank of 17 Feb 98 and an effective date of
25 Jun 99. He was considered and not selected for promotion to the grade
of lieutenant colonel by the CY01B and CY02B lieutenant colonel boards,
which convened on 5 Nov 01 and 12 Nov 02, respectively.
Applicant was awarded an MSM for meritorious service during the period 3
Aug 99 through 30 Jun 02. The MSM was approved on 25 Nov 02 and orders for
the MSM were published on 2 Dec 02.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPPO, recommends denial. DPPPO states that in accordance with AFI 36-
2803 decoration recommendations are entered into official channels within 2
years and awarded within 3 years of the act, achievement, or service
performed. As such, the decoration was processed within 3 years of the
guidelines of the governing directive. Furthermore, the award authority
announces its final decision when approving an award by publishing special
orders. Since the order was published on 2 Dec 02, the citation was not
included in his selection folder. For the purpose of including this
decoration in a board that convened on 12 Nov 02, the decoration did not
exist.
The DPPPO evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 31 Oct
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. Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the
existence of an injustice. Applicant contends because the processing of
his MSM took over 6 months to complete, the MSM was not included in his
selection record. It is the Board's opinion that while his decoration in
question was accomplished in accordance with the time limitations
prescribed in the applicable regulations, since the applicant was pending
an upcoming promotion board, expeditious processing should have occurred to
ensure it would have been included in his record for promotion
consideration. Therefore, we believe that the applicant was improperly
disadvantaged due to the absence of the MSM and that relief is warranted.
Accordingly, we recommend that his records be corrected to the extent
indicated below.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:
The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force relating
to APPLICANT to include the Meritorious Service Medal, awarded for the
period 3 August 1999 to 30 June 2002, be considered for promotion to the
grade of lieutenant colonel by Special Selection Board for the Calendar
Year 2002B Central Lieutenant Colonel Selection Board.
