RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2004-01469
INDEX CODE: 131.00
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
It appears he wishes to be reconsidered for a position vacancy (PV)
promotion by a Special Review Board (SRB) for the Fiscal Year 2005 (FY05)
Reserve of the Air Force (ResAF) Major PV Board.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He has met all requirements for PV to major; he is currently in a major’s
billet, and has completed over four years of time-in-grade (TIG). Although
Professional Military Education (PME) is not a written requirement for
promotion, based on information released by HQ AFRC, several selects for
major had not completed PME.
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant is currently serving in the Air Force Reserve in the grade of
captain effective and with a date of rank (DOR) of 30 September 1999.
The applicant was considered and not selected for promotion by the FY05
Line and Health Professions Major Position Vacancy (PV) Selection Board,
which convened on 9 February 2004.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
ARPC/DPB indicated upon review of the applicant’s record, they found he did
not complete Squadron Officer School (SOS), the appropriate level of
professional level of PME for promotion to major. Completion of PME is not
a “pass/fail” requirement and board members are informed of this by the
Secretary of the Air Force Memorandum of Instruction. However, the
statistics for this PV promotion board showed that of the 184 officers
considered for promotion, 92 percent of them completed PME. Of the 138
selected for promotion, all 138 completed PME. No officer who failed to
complete PME was selected for PV promotion. The full quota (75 percent)
was used selecting these 138 officers for promotion. The applicant has not
alleged there was an error in his record, so they cannot recommend denying
or approving anything. They found no error when they reviewed his record
and therefore do not believe a “second look” (special board or special
selection board) is warranted. If the applicant finds there was an error
in his record when it was considered by the FY05 Line and Health
Professions Major PV Selection Board, they can reevaluate his claim at that
time.
The evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 21 May 2004, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant for review and response 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 an error or injustice. The applicant appears to be requesting
reconsideration by a Special Review Board for the FY05 Line and Health
Professions Major Position Vacancy Board. He indicates he has met all the
requirements for promotion to the grade of major with the exception of
completing his Professional Military Education (PME). He indicates that
completion of PME is not a requirement for promotion and several
individuals selected for promotion by the FY05 board did not complete PME.
Although it may not be a requirement for promotion consideration, it is
noted that all the individuals who were selected for promotion by the FY05
board did complete PME. While it cannot be determined that the lack of PME
was the sole cause of his nonselection, according to the statistics for
this particular board, it certainly appears that his chances for selection
would have been enhanced had he completed Squadron Officer School. We
would strongly encourage him to complete his PME before his next promotion
consideration. In view of the foregoing, we find no basis upon which to
make a favorable recommendation on this application.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not demonstrate
the existence of an 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.
