STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 24 October 2002, the Air Force Board for Correction of Military Records
(AFBCMR) considered applicant’s request that the Article 15 imposed on 16
February 1994, and the Officer Performance Report (OPR) closing 30 April
1998, be removed from his records and he be sent to a Replacement Training
Unit (RTU) to be re-qualified and reinstated in an active status as an Air
National Guard (ANG) fighter pilot in the unit of his choice. A majority
of the AFBCMR found sufficient evidence to warrant removing the Article 15
and the OPR from his records; however, by a unanimous decision, the
remainder of his requests were denied. For an accounting of the facts and
circumstances surrounding the application, and the rationale of the earlier
decision by the Board, see the Record of Proceedings at Exhibit N.
In a letter, dated 26 January 2004, applicant’s counsel asserts that Hq
ARPC has failed to remove the OPR closing 30 April 1998, from applicant’s
records as directed by AFBCMR Memorandum for the Chief of Staff, dated 13
February 2003. In addition, counsel requests the applicant receive the
above relief and provides additional documentation. Counsel’s complete
submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit O.
He was considered for promotion to the grade of lieutenant colonel by a
Special Selection Board (SSB) for the Fiscal Year 2005 Lieutenant Colonel
Board and was not selected.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATIONS:
ARPC/DPB recommends denial of applicant’s request for direct promotion and
pay for lost wages as a civilian pilot. ARPC/DPB states in part, that in
August 2001, applicant was assigned to the Missouri ANG (MO ANG). The
participation years ending 2002 and 2003 were satisfactory years toward
retirement. In August 2003, he was reassigned to a non-participating
status based on his nonparticipation. Had he remained with the MO ANG, he
may have been eligible for unit vacancy promotion by the FY05 Line and
NonLine ANG Lt Col Promotion Board. Should AFRC or ANG recommend
retroactive assignment, with or without pay and allowances, ARPC/DPP should
address retroactive satisfactory participation at that time. Paying
applicant lost wages as a civilian pilot is not within the purview of their
office. Further, the Article 15, imposed on 16 February 1994, and the OPR,
closing 30 April 1998, have been removed from his records.
The ARPC/DPB evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit Q.
AFRC/DPM recommends applicant receive pay and points for the
Retention/Retirement (R/R) years ending 18 July 1999, 18 July 2000, and 18
July 2001. AFRC/DPM states, in part, that on 2 October 1998, applicant was
notified by his commander of the intent to recommend his involuntary
reassignment to the Individual Ready Reserve (IRR) based on his failure to
meet standards and failure to meet military conduct standards. However, on
24 October 2002, it was found there was sufficient evidence to warrant
removing the Article 15 imposed on 16 February 1994, and the OPR, closing
30 April 1998, from his records.
The AFRC/DPM evaluations are at Exhibits R and T.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT’S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATIONS:
Complete copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the
applicant’s counsel on 6 July 2004 and 25 February 2005 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 not timely filed; however, it is in the interest of
justice to excuse the failure to timely file.
3. Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the
existence of error or injustice to warrant providing the applicant pay and
points for the Retention/Retirement (R/R) years ending 18 July 1999, 18
July 2000, and 18 July 2001. In this respect, we note that on 2 October
1998, the applicant was involuntary reassigned to the IRR based on his
failure to meet standards and failure to meet military conduct standards.
As a result, the R/R years ending 1999, 2000, and 2001, were unsatisfactory
years towards retirement. However, on 24 October 2002, the Board found
sufficient evidence to warrant removing the Article 15 imposed on
16 February 1994, and the OPR, closing 30 April 1998, from his records. In
view of this, we recommend the applicant’s records be corrected to the
extent indicated below.
4. Notwithstanding the above, we are not persuaded the remainder of the
applicant’s requests should be favorably considered. An IG investigation
sustantiated the applicant’s allegation of reprisal while assigned to New
Orleans, LS. In view of this, the Board favorably considered his request
to remove the OPR, closing 30 April 1998, from his records. In addition,
based on the determination that the Ninth Air Force Commander never
intended for the Article 15 imposed on 16 February 1994, to effect the
applicant’s career, the Board also removed the Article 15 from his records.
Contrary, to the applicant’s contention, these documents have been removed
from his records. In 2001, the applicant was successful in obtaining an
assignment with the Missouri ANG and served until his assignment to a non-
participating status in August 2003. In addition, based on his erroneous
assignment to the Inactive Status List Reserve Section (ISLRS), he was
considered for promotion to the grade of lieutenant colonel by a Special
Selection Board (SSB) for the Fiscal Year 2005 Lieutenant Colonel Board and
was not selected. We also note the recommended corrections to his records
will provide him with 21 years of service towards retirement. In view of
this, we believe he has been provided full and fitting relief. Therefore,
in the absence of evidence that his reassignment from the Missouri ANG was
inappropriate, we find no compelling basis to recommend favorable
consideration of the remainder of his requests.
5. The applicant's case is adequately documented and it has not been shown
that a personal appearance with or without counsel will materially add to
our understanding of the issues involved. Therefore, the request for a
hearing is not favorably considered.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:
The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force relating

satisfactory year of Federal service.

The applicant should submit a request for the removal of the Article 15 to the commander who directed that it be placed in his records. In addition, the majority of the Board is sufficiently persuaded that the Article 15 should also be removed from the applicant’s record. Based on the available evidence of record, I find no basis upon which to favorably consider this portion of the application, and strongly recommend you deny the majority’s recommendation to remove the contested Article 15...
