RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2004-01483
INDEX CODE: 131.01, 107.00
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
She be promoted to the Reserve grade of major by the FY05 Line and
Health Professions Major Position Vacancy Selection Board.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
She met all requirements for position vacancy to major, is filling a
major billet and has completed over four years time in grade. She has
completed professional military education (PME) where others who were
selected for promotion to major had not completed PME.
In support of her request, the applicant submitted a personal
statement.
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant currently serves in the Air Force Reserves in the grade
of captain. Applicant was considered and not selected for promotion
to the grade of major by the FY05 Line and Health Professions Major
Position Vacancy Selection Board that convened on 9 February 2004.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
ARPC/DPB recommends denial. The fact sheet for this particular
selection board clearly shows no one was selected without Squadron
Officer’s School (SOS), the appropriate level of PME for this
promotion board. No error was alleged and after careful review, there
appears to be no error in the applicant’s record. If there was no
error in her record, then no injustice occurred. The quota driven
process allowed promotion for 75% of those officers considered. It
appears, based on the results of the board in question, that board
members ranked the applicant’s record below that of officers promoted
by the board.
The DPB 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
28 May 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, the Board majority is not persuaded by the evidence presented
in support of her appeal that she was denied a fair opportunity to
compete successfully for promotion. Based on the results of the
selection board no one was selected without completion of Squadron
Officer School, which was the appropriate level of PME for this Board.
Therefore, the Board majority agrees 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, the Board majority
finds 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.

All officers selected for promotion by this board were promoted no earlier than this date, unless a request for accelerated promotion was received from the senior rater. The applicant provides another memo from the commander to the senior rater, also dated 20 Jul 04, requesting the applicant be given an accelerated promotion to major with a DOR of 15 Apr 04 (Exhibit A). The 2 Jun 04 DOR was not authorized because the FY04 board did not select the applicant.
