RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2003-00902
INDEX CODE: 131.05
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
He be promoted to the grade of captain effective and with a date of
rank (DOR) of 6 July 1999.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
When he checked on his promotion eligibility with his commander in
1999, he was told that 349th Air Wing (AW) policy required that
members be on station for three years before they were considered
eligible for promotion to captain. He states that in 2000 his
promotion package was denied for no reason and on further
investigation, the 349th AW admitted to “dropping the ball” on his
promotion eligibility.
In support of his appeal, the applicant has submitted copies of
performance reports, pertinent personnel data system products,
decoration information and copies of several orders.
His complete submission, with attachments, is attached at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant was commissioned in the Air Force Reserve (AFRES), on 6 July
1995 as a 2nd lieutenant (0-1) after serving 22 years in the enlisted
corps of AFRES. He was promoted to 1st lieutenant (0-2) on 6 July
1997 and was promoted to captain on 1 October 2001 by the FY02 AFRES
Captain Promotion Board.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFRC/DPM states that due to his ineligibility at the time for
mandatory promotion consideration they cannot recommend he be
considered by a prior mandatory board. However, they note the
applicant appeared to be eligible for position vacancy (PV) promotion
at the time. DPM recommends if the applicant can provide
documentation showing his prior commander intended to nominate him for
PV promotion, that he apply, through the AFBCMR, for a Special
Selection Board (SSB).
DPM’s complete evaluation is at Exhibit B.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 2
May 2003 for review and comment within 30 days. 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. 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. They noted that it appeared the applicant met
all the requirements for Position Vacancy (PV) promotion to captain
and had he been able to provide evidence that his commander had
nominated him, they would recommend the applicant be granted a Special
Selection Board (SSB). Unfortunately, he was not able to produce any
such documentation. 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.
