APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His Duty Air Force Specialty Code (DAFSC) for the period 11 August  1993  to
10 August 1994 be changed from “31P3” to “13B1E,” his DAFSC for the  periods
11 August 1994 to 16 February 1995 and 17 February 1995 to 30 June  1996  be
changed from  “31P3”  to  “13B3E;”  and,  he  be  considered  by  a  Special
Selection Board (SSB) for promotion by the CY99B Lieutenant Colonel  (LtCol)
Central Selection Board (CSB).
_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

An injustice occurred when his three years  of  operational  experience  was
not properly credited in his duty history by  awarding  him  the  13B1E  and
13B3E  DAFSCs.   Operational  experience  for  a  support  officer  is   the
exception rather than the rule  and  “counts  extra;”  therefore,  once  his
DAFSCs are corrected, he should be given SSB  consideration  for  the  CY99B
LtCol CSB.

In support of his application, the applicant provides copies of his  Officer
Selection Brief (OSB) for board  P0599B;  an  excerpt  of  AFI  36-2101;  an
excerpt of AFMAN  36-2105;  AF  Form  1256,  Certificate  of  Training;  his
Officer Performance Report (OPR) closing 1  April  1994;  and  a  supporting
statement from the Air Force Space  Command  1C3  Functional  Manager.   The
applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant is currently serving on active duty  in  the  grade  of  major
with a date of rank of 1 June 1996  and  a  Total  Active  Federal  Military
Service Date (TAFMSD) of 19 March 1980.

The applicant was considered and not selected for promotion to the grade  of
lieutenant colonel by the CY99B,  CY00A,  CY01B,  CY02B,  CY03A,  and  CY04B
LtCol CSBs, which  convened  on  30  November  1999,  28  November  2000,  5
November  2001,  12  November  2002,  8  July  2003,  and   12   July   2004
respectively.

The following is a resume of his OPR  ratings  commencing  with  the  report

The applicant’s OSB that met the CY0599B LtCol CSB, reflected his DAFSC  and
duty title effective 11 August 1993, 1 July 1994, and 16  February  1995  as
31P3, Chief of Security Police and Emergency Actions Officer (EAO).

On 8 January 2002, the Air Force Board for Corrections of  Military  Records
(AFBCMR)  considered  and  approved  the   applicant’s   request   for   SSB
consideration by the CY99B and CY00A LtCol CSBs after adding his  Air  Force
Meritorious Service Medal (AFMSM) First  Oak  Leaf  Cluster  (1OLC)  to  his
Officer Selection Record (OSR) for those  boards.   The  applicant  was  not
selected for promotion to LtCol as a result of either SSB consideration.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPASB recommends denial of the applicant’s request.  DPASB  states  the
applicant filled a 31P authorization  while  assigned  to  Vokel  Air  Base,
Netherlands, and his duty title was Chief of Security Police and  EAO.   The
security  forces  assignment  manager  handles  this  position  as   a   31P
opportunity.  All current and past  members  at  similar  Munitions  Support
Squadrons carry the 31P DAFSC and duty title.  It is  DPASB’s  opinion  that
there is no reason to change the  applicant’s  DAFSC  when  he  was  clearly
hired to do a 31P job and his OPRs state  31P3  as  his  DAFSC.   The  DPASB
evaluation is at Exhibit C.

AFPC/DPPPO concurs with the findings from DPASB and recommends  denying  the
applicant’s request for SSB consideration.  The AFPC/DPPPO evaluation is  at
Exhibit D.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

His duty in the command post being his  primary  duty  should  not  be  in
question as it was; in fact, his primary duty for the periods in question.
 In addition, his position authorization was carried on the command post’s
Unit Manning Document.  Based on the criteria in place at  the  time,  his
command post service qualifies him  for  award  of  the  13B1E  and  13B3E
DAFSCs.   DPASB’s  attempt  to  trivialize  his  command  post   duty   is
contradicted by AFPC’s own web site, at which AFPC’s Academic and  Special
Utilization Branch solicits volunteers for command post duty as a “breadth
of experience” opportunity.  He is both perplexed  and  disappointed  that
AFPC would openly oppose his application for correction and follow-on  SSB
consideration. The applicant’s review, with attachment, is at Exhibit F.

_________________________________________________________________

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 probable error or injustice.  After reviewing the  evidence  of
record, we are not persuaded that the applicant has been the  victim  of  an
error or injustice.  The applicant has requested SSB consideration based  on
correcting his DAFSC to reflect his command post duty while he was  assigned
as Chief Security Police and EAO.  We note the Air Force Office  of  Primary
Responsibility states that the applicant was  not  treated  any  differently
than any other member in his same situation (“All current and  past  members
at similar MUNS Squadrons carry the 31P DAFSC  and  duty  title”).   We  are
unpersuaded that the  DAFSC  reflected  on  his  OSB  and  OPRs  was  listed
incorrectly.  In view of the above, we have no basis on which  to  favorably
consider the applicant’s request.

_________________________________________________________________

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.
