RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBERS: BC-2004-03005
INDEX CODE: 131.00
COUNSEL: None
HEARING DESIRED: No
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
He receive Special Selection Board (SSB) consideration by the Fiscal
Year (FY) 2005 Lieutenant Colonel (Lt Col) Position Vacancy (PV)
Board.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His Promotion Recommendation Form (PRF) was inadvertently misplaced,
or dropped out of the total packages submitted subsequently resulting
in his PRF never making it to the promotion board.
Applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is attached at
Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant, a Reservist, is currently serving in the Reserve grade
of major, with a date of rank of 14 July 1999. There is no indication
in the available records to reflect he was considered by the FY 2005
Lieutenant Colonel Position Vacancy (PV) Board.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ ARPC/DPB states the applicant’s PRF for promotion consideration for
a PV promotion was not received by HQ ARPC. The PRF is the single
source for nomination of an officer for a PV promotion consideration.
Without a nomination, the record is not eligible for promotion. A
position vacancy nomination is not a right or entitlement under the
law, conferred on any officer. It is a force management tool that is
available to senior leadership; however, senior leadership is not
required to use this tool. Furthermore, there is no indication that
anyone at the Military Personnel Flight (MPF) or anyone within the
applicant’s chain-of-command, made any attempt to ensure his record
was prepared for the board or was actually going to be considered by
the board. They further state an after-the-fact submission of a
nomination does not entitle any officer to an appeal for originally
not meeting the board on time. They recommend the requested relief be
denied.
A complete copy of the evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The applicant states he submitted letters from the current Wing
Commander and his former Group Commander supporting the fact it was
the intention of the Wing and the Group to have his promotion package
submitted in time for the FY05 Lt Col Position Vacancy Promotion
Board. He believes these letters clearly support the intentions of
the Wing and the Group to have his package reconsidered based on the
extenuating circumstances.
The Wing and Group were surprised and disappointed when his name did
not appear on either the promote or non-promote list.
The applicant’s complete response is at Exhibit E.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing
law or regulations.
2. The applicant 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
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. The letters submitted with the application are
duly noted; however, neither individual explained what steps were
taken to ensure the applicant’s promotion recommendation package was
properly prepared for consideration by the position vacancy promotion
board. It is noted there is no supporting letter from the applicant’s
senior rater indicating his intent that the applicant be considered by
the FY 2005 Position Vacancy Board. Should the applicant provide
documentation from Brigadier General J. regarding his intentions, this
Board would be willing to review the materials for possible
reconsideration. Therefore, in view of
the foregoing, the Board finds no compelling basis upon which to
recommend the requested relief.
