RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2003-03973
INDEX CODE: 131.01, 107.00
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
He be given Special Selection Board (SSB) consideration by the
Calendar Year 2003A (CY03A) Lieutenant Colonel Central Selection
Board, one-year below the zone promotion (BPZ) consideration, with
inclusion of his officer performance report (OPR) that covered the
period 2 May 2002 through 21 May 2003.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His Officer Selection Record (OSR) reviewed by the CY03A Board did not
contain his OPR, which was signed by his reviewer on 17 June 2003.
For some unknown reason the OPR did not make it into his promotion
package until 29 July 2003.
In support of his request, the applicant submitted a personal
statement, and a copy of his OPR covering the period 22 May 2002
through 21 May 2003.
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant is currently serving in on extended active duty in the
grade of major. Applicant was considered and not selected for
promotion to the grade of lieutenant colonel by the CY03 central
selection board that convened on 8 July 2003. On 29 July 2003, a copy
of applicant’s disputed OPR was included in his record.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPPO recommends denial. Officers considered for promotion
boards have different closeout dates for their performance reports.
AFI 36-2406, paragraph 3.8.5.6, Officer and Enlisted Evaluation
Systems, which states that OPRs on extended active duty (EAD) officers
are due at HQ AFPC no later than 60 days following closeout of the
report. Since the applicant’s OPR closed out on 21 May 2003, it was
not required to be on file until 21 July 2003, (board convened 8 July
2003). Furthermore, board eligible officers fall into this
predicament; and approving SSB consideration with a report not
required to be on file would generate unfairness in the current
promotion process. Based on the evidence provided, recommend his
request for SSB consideration be denied.
The DPPPO complete evaluation, with attachment, is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A Copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on
30 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 an error or injustice. We took notice of the
applicant’s complete submission in judging the merits of the case.
However, we are not persuaded by the evidence presented in support of
his appeal that he was denied a fair opportunity to compete
successfully for promotion. In this regard, we note that, in
accordance with AFI 36-2406, paragraph 3.8.5.6, Officer and Enlisted
Evaluation Systems, OPRs on EAD officers are due at HQ AFPC no later
than 60 days following closeout of the report. Since the applicant’s
OPR closed out on 21 May 2003, it was not required to be on file until
21 July 2003, which was after the board had convened on 8 July 2003.
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 persuasive
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.

___________________________________________________________________ AIR FORCE EVALUATION: AFPC/DPPPO recommended denial and stated officers considered by promotion boards have different closeout dates for their performance reports.

However, the applicant provided a Military Personnel Flight (MPF) certified copy of the same OPR with a correction to the close out date reflecting 2 June 2003. Regardless, either report (with a close out date of 2 June 2003 or 2 July 2003) was not required to be on file for the P0503A CSB. After reviewing the evidence of record, we note the applicant’s OSB did not reflect his current duty assignment at the time the board convened; however, evidence supports that his PRF, reviewed by the...
