                       RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2004-02489
            INDEX CODE:  131.00

            COUNSEL:  NONE

            HEARING DESIRED:  NO

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

She be considered for promotion to the grade of lieutenant colonel  by
the earliest SSB in-lieu-of the  FY05  Line  and  NonLine  Lt  Colonel
Position Vacancy Selection Board.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

She was nominated for promotion by her commander and an  appropriately
written PRF was forwarded to ARPC for consideration at the FY05  board
without  knowledge  of  the  error  in  authorized  grade.   She   was
incorrectly assigned to a position number with an authorized grade  of
0-4.  Her commander supports this nomination and the  error  is  being
corrected in order to allow her to be considered for promotion at  the
earliest SSB.

In support of the appeal, applicant  submits  a  copy  of  the  e-mail
communication and a copy of her PRF.

Applicant's complete submission, with attachment, is at Exhibit A.

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant is currently serving in the Air  Force  Reserve  in  the
grade of major.

The  applicant’s  nomination   package,   AF   Form   709,   Promotion
Recommendation (PRF), when received at ARPC on 30 April 2004, did  not
contain a recommended position number.  Once researched, the applicant
was found to occupy a major’s position according  to  MilPDS  and  the
Reserve Management Vacancy System (RMVS) - Manpower/Personnel Position
Information.

A position number and reassignment of the applicant to a higher graded
position was requested  by  e-mail  communication  from  ARPC  to  374
MSS/DPMR, Yokota AB, Japan.   Assorted  e-mail  traffic  within  PACAF
indicates obtaining an authorized higher graded  position  number  and
reassigning  the  applicant  to  a  higher  graded  position  was  not
accomplished.

_________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

ARPC/DPB states as of 25 August 2004, MilPDS indicated  the  applicant
was assigned to a higher graded position.  However, verification  with
Reserve Management Vacancy System showed the position does not  exist.
An officer cannot be assigned against a position that is not funded or
authorized.  It is possible for  an  officer  to  be  eligible  to  be
assigned to a higher graded position, but a position does  not  exist.
The applicant is not and was not, at the time of the selection  board,
eligible for promotion consideration.  Before the  board,  during  the
board and now after public release of the board results, the applicant
does  not  occupy  a  valid  higher  graded  position.   There  is  no
eligibility for position vacancy promotion because no vacancy  exists.
Therefore, they recommend denial of applicant’s request.

A complete copy of the evaluation, with attachments,  is  attached  at
Exhibit C.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

On 3 September 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  error  or  injustice.   We  took  notice  of   the
applicant's complete submission in judging the  merits  of  the  case;
however, we agree with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force
and adopt their rationale as the basis for  the  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.

In reference to #3(b), the letter states the PRF submission was 9 Dec 11. After thoroughly reviewing the evidence of record and the applicant’s complete submission, we do not find the evidence presented sufficiently persuasive to recommend Special Board consideration.
