RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2003-03820
INDEX CODE: 131.01
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: YES
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His record, to include the Officer Performance Report (OPR) rendered for
the period 16 July 2002 through 27 May 03, be included in his selection
record, be considered for promotion to the grade of lieutenant colonel for
the Calendar Year 2003 (CY03) Lieutenant Colonel Central Selection Board by
Special Selection Board (SSB).
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His supervisor prepared the contested OPR prior to his departure in May
2003. When he departed, the OPR only required the wing commander's edits
and signature. He met with the wing commander in June for promotion
recommendation feedback and was assured the OPR would be in his record for
the 8 July 2003 promotion board. The OPR was not signed until 8 July 2003.
As a result, the most recent OPR in his selection record closed 15 July
2002 leaving a one-year gap in his reporting period prior to the board.
In support of his request, applicant provided, a chronology of events,
copies of email communications, OPR draft inputs, and a copy of the
contested OPR. His complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant was appointed a second lieutenant, Reserve of the Air Force on 1
Jun 88 and was voluntarily ordered to extended active duty on that same
date. He has been progressively promoted to the grade of major, having
assumed that grade effective and with a date of rank of 1 Oct 99. He was
considered and not selected to the grade of lieutenant colonel by the CY03A
Lieutenant Colonel Central Selection Board which convened on 8 Jul 03.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPPO recommends denial. DPPPO states AFI 36-2406 states that OPRs
are due at AFPC no later than 60 days following closeout of the report.
Since his OPR closed out on 27 May 03, it was not required to be on file
until 27 Jul 03, after the 8 Jul 03 board date. Many board eligible
officers fall into this predicament. Approving SSB consideration with a
report not required to be on file would generate unfairness in the current
promotion process. 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 16 Jan
04 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 error or injustice that would warrant corrective action. We
took notice of the applicant's complete submission in judging the merits of
the case; however, after a thorough review of the evidence of record, it
appears that the OPR was processed within the standards established by Air
Force policy. Further, absent corroborative statements from the
applicant's rating chain indicating whether or not they intended for the
OPR in question to be a matter of record when considered by the CY03
selection board, we are not persuaded that favorable consideration of this
case is warranted. Therefore, 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. In the absence of evidence to the contrary, we
find no compelling basis to recommend granting the relief sought in this
application.
4. The applicant's case is adequately documented and it has not been shown
that a personal appearance with or without counsel will materially add to
our understanding of the issue involved. Therefore, the request for a
hearing is not favorably considered.
_________________________________________________________________
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.
