RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2004-00142
INDEX NUMBER: 123.00
XXXXXXX COUNSEL: None
XXXXXXX HEARING DESIRED: No
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His service dates be adjusted to remove the lost time he was given
for the period 19 Oct 02 to 11 Jun 03.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was acquitted of all charges against him during a General Court-
Martial.
In support of his appeal, applicant provides copies of AF Form 2098
showing the lost time he was assessed and a copy of the General Court-
Martial order showing the finding of not guilty.
The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit
A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant is presently serving on active duty in the grade of
technical sergeant (E-6). He was tried by General Court-Martial for
the alleged offense of attempted robbery with a deadly weapon. He
was acquitted of the charges.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPAOR recommends that the applicant’s appeal be denied. The
statute covering lost time requires that a member be charged lost
time for all time spent in confinement. In support of this view,
AFPC/DPPAOR has attached a legal opinion, dated 24 Aug 00, prepared
by the AFPC Chief of Military Personnel Law.
The 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
5 Mar 04 for review and comment within 30 days. To date, a response
has not been received.
_________________________________________________________________
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 error or injustice warranting a measure of relief.
Based on the applicant being found not guilty of alleged offenses in
a general court-martial, we believe that the 232 days of lost time he
was assessed due to his confinement unfairly affected his Air Force
career and thereby constitutes an injustice. However, as noted in
the advisory opinion provided by AFPC/DPPAOR, we are precluded by
statute from providing the actual relief requested, removing the lost
time from the applicant’s record. We are able to provide the
applicant a measure of relief by correcting his record to eliminate
any effect of the lost time that is a matter of policy. In that
regard, we note that the applicant’s pay date has been adjusted, that
he did not receive pay and allowances during the period of lost time,
and that he was rendered ineligible for promotion during cycle 03E7.
We believe that it would be appropriate to correct these items in the
applicant’s record. Therefore, we recommend that the applicant’s
records be corrected as indicated below.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:
The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force
relating to APPLICANT, be corrected to show that:
a. His Total Active Federal Military Service Date
remains 11 May 83 and his pay date is 16 Feb 82.
b. He was in a temporary duty status for a sufficient
period of time beginning 23 Oct 02 and was paid total per diem in an
amount equivalent to 232 days of pay and allowances.
It is further recommended that he be provided supplemental
consideration for promotion to the grade of master sergeant (E-7)
beginning with cycle 03E7.
If AFPC discovers any adverse factors during or subsequent to
supplemental consideration that are separate and apart, and unrelated
to the issues involved in this application that would have rendered
the applicant ineligible for the promotion, such information will be
documented and presented to the Board for a final determination on
the individual’s qualifications for the promotion.

DPPPW states current Air Force promotion policy dictates that before a decoration is credited for a specific promotion cycle, the closeout date of the decoration must be on or before the promotion eligibility cutoff date (PECD), and the date of the DECOR-6 (Recommendation for Decoration Printout [RDP]), must be before the date of selections for the cycle in question. Each promotion cycle has an established PECD which is used to determine what Air Force Specialty Code (AFSC) the member will...

The applicant was held in pretrial confinement from 11 November 2002 to 6 February 2003, causing a total lost time of 88 days. The Air Force also did not err in characterizing the time the applicant spent in pretrial confinement as lost time. Therefore, we recommend that the applicant’s records be corrected as indicated below.

The first time the contested report was used in the promotion process was cycle 02E8; therefore, should the AFBCMR removed the contested report, it could direct his supplemental promotion consideration beginning with cycle 02E8. The reviewer of the report has provided a statement indicating that in retrospect an overall promotion recommendation of “4” is more appropriate; however, retrospective views should not be used as the basis to change the original assessment by evaluators at the time...
