RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2004-01361
INDEX NUMBER: 131.00
XXXXXXX COUNSEL: None
XXXXXXX HEARING DESIRED: No
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
The following documents be included in his officer selection record
(OSR) for the CY03B Major Central Selection Board:
a. Army Commendation Medal (ACM), First Oak Leaf Cluster
(1OLC).
b. Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT) Supplemental
Training Report (TR) for his participation in a master’s degree
program.
He be granted consideration for promotion to the grade of major by
Special Selection Board (SSB) for the CY03B Major Central Selection
Board with the corrected record.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
Since information regarding his master’s degree was masked during the
CY03B board, the missing supplemental training report was the only
document in his record showing his completion of a master’s degree.
The report in his records indicated he had not completed his thesis
and was a negative factor for the promotion board. He took action on
17 Nov 03 to get his missing ACM citation included in his OSR. He
turned the document into his military personnel flight (MPF) and
understood the document would be faxed out the same day.
The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant entered active duty on 11 Aug 95 after being
commissioned through Officer Training School. He is presently serving
in the grade of captain. The applicant was considered and not
selected for promotion to major by the CY03B (8 Dec 03) Major Central
Selection Board.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPPE recommends denial of the applicant’s request to include the
AFIT TR in his OSR. In accordance with AFI 36-2406, paragraph 6.2.2,
the applicant could have requested to have a TR filed in his record.
However, to be included in his OSR, the action must have been
completed prior to the promotion board. The instruction sheet for
review of the pre-selection brief advises that only the bachelor’s
degree information will be reflected and any advanced degrees,
including AFIT sponsored, will be masked on the OPB. Promotion board
members are given instructions regarding exclusion of information on
advanced degrees from the Officer Selection Brief (OSB) and are
cautioned not to give such information disproportionate weight. The
AFIT TR was not a necessary document to be included in the applicant’s
OSR for the CY03B Major Central Selection Board.
The complete evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit C.
AFPC/DPPPO states that consideration for promotion by SSB based on
inclusion of the AFIT TR is not warranted based on AFPC/DPPPE’s
recommendation. Regarding his ACM (1OLC), they determined that the
citation for the ACM (1OLC) was included in the OSR, but the citation
for the basic award of the ACM was missing. Although the applicant’s
record was missing the basic citation, board members were aware that
he was awarded two ACMs since they were listed on his OSB. AFPC/DPPPO
recommends denial of the applicant’s request for promotion
consideration by SSB based on the missing ACM citation.
The complete evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit E.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the applicant on
27 Aug 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. 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 opinions and recommendations of the Air
Force offices 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. 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.

On 25 February 2004, applicant’s request that his Officer Selection Brief (OSB) be corrected to reflect his correct academic education was considered and denied. To make his record as accurate as possible, the Air Force Form 77 which was filed in his OSR reflecting the period from 1 December 1996 to 5 August 1997 was corrected to reflect 7 June 1997 to 5 August 1997 (the period between the close-out date of the officer’s last performance report in the Army and his date of entry into the Air...

The signature date of 28 July 2003 on his AF Form 475 (Education/Training Report), closing 28 March 2003, be changed to an earlier date so that it may be accepted for filing for the CY03A (8 July 2003) (P0503A) Lieutenant Colonel Central Selection Board (CSB). He was wronged by the excessive period of time it took to complete and file his final Training Report (TR) in his Officer Selection Record (OSR); as well as the time it took to update his current duty history after he arrived at the...

_______________________________________________________________ APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: His Officer Selection Record (OSR) that met the CY01A Central Major Selection Board was incomplete and missing documents.

The citation and/or special order for the basic AFCM was not in the applicant’s OSR when the board convened; however, the Officer Selection Board (OSB) for that board reflected receipt of 2 AFCMs in the Decorations Section. He had no reason to believe this was one AFCM Special Order copied twice and the basic AFCM Special Order was not included. MICHAEL K.

He believes the absence of this information prejudiced his consideration for promotion to the grade of colonel. He states the Air Force awarded him two DFC (Basic) awards in 1992 and later claimed that one of the DFCs had not been awarded until after his colonel selection board. Although the panel has recommended the applicant’s records, to include two Air Medals (AMs) and a Meritorious Service Medal (MSM), be considered by an SSB for the CY01B board, they do not recommend the DFC, 1 OLC,...

AFPC/DPPPO notes the applicant provides a letter from personnel at IDE stating a copy of the TR was faxed on 1 Jul 05. The applicant states that what DPPPO does not indicate is that most of the TRs that closed out the same date as his were in the members’ Officer Selection Record (OSR) for his promotion board. Based on the letter from the Associate Dean of the school the applicant attended at AFIT, steps were taken to expedite the Training Reports (TR) of all the graduates of the AFIT IDE...

Accordingly, we recommend that the applicant’s records be corrected as indicated below, and that he be provided SSB consideration with his corrected record.
