RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2005-01179
XXXXXXX COUNSEL: None
XXXXXXX HEARING DESIRED: YES
MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE: 21 OCT 06
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
The Officer Preselection Brief (OPB) prepared on him for the FY04 and
FY05 Major Line and Health Professions Promotion Boards be corrected
to reflect accurate information in the Assignment History.
He be considered for promotion to the grade of major by special
selection board (SSB) for the FY04 and FY05 Major Line and Health
Professions Promotion Boards.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He did not receive an Officer Preselection Brief (OPB) from his
Military Personnel Flight (MPF) for either board. His officer
performance report (OPR) contained the wrong rank and was written on
the wrong form. The AFSC and command level was incorrect on his OPB.
In support of his application, applicant submits a personal statement
and a copy of his OPR for the period 17 Jul 01 thru 16 Jul 02, an
email from 375 MSS/DPMR, a copy of his OPB and an email from
TACC/XOC.
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant is currently serving on extended active duty in the
grade of captain.
Applicant was considered and not selected for promotion to the grade
of major by the FY04 and FY05 Line and Health Professions Major
Selection Boards.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
ARPC/DPB recommends denial and stated the applicant’s OPR closing 16
July 2002 was administratively corrected by ARPC/DPBR2 to reflect the
grade of captain prior to the board review. The fact the OPR was
prepared using an incorrect version of the form does not change the
content of the report.
DPB states it is the applicant’s responsibility to monitor his own
eligibility and ensure his selection folder is up to date prior to
the board. Due diligence on the officer’s part would have eliminated
any question in his mind concerning nonselection based on “errors” in
his record. At this time the applicant has failed to provide proof of
any errors.
ARPC/DPB complete evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
Applicant reviewed the Air Force evaluation and stated he would like
to appeal to common sense. Why wouldn’t he be interested in helping
himself get promoted? He obviously needs a little guidance in the
process. His last promotion came automatically via unit vacancy with
a secretary stopping him in the hall to tell him about it. If he had
gotten a call, email, letter or anything from anyone wanting to
assist him in getting ready for these boards, he would have jumped on
it. Where was his active duty command structure? How about the IMA
staff? How about the MPF? Is it really true that the members must
handle the entire process themselves? Is that only true for IMAs?
Does the active duty take better care of their personnel than the IMA
system? He is not being flip-he is really perplexed. He sure hopes
the old joke about IMA meaning “I’m alone” is not true. Unfortunately
this experience has definitely left him feeling alone. He stands by
the comment of his “Promotion Experience” document he has already
submitted. He has spoken with numerous senior officers including Gen
P__ and he acknowledges that he has not been treated fairly. He is
not interested in the “blame game”; he simply wants a fair shake. He
also wants to make sure any other IMA is not affected in a similar
fashion
Applicant’s complete response, with attachments, is at Exhibit E
_________________________________________________________________
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. After reviewing the evidence of
record, the Board is not convinced that the applicant exercised due
diligence in having his record up-to-date prior to the convening of
the selection boards in question. The applicant must bear the
responsibility to monitor his own eligibility and ensure the
selection folder is up-to-date and correct prior to the board
convening date. Therefore, we agree with the opinion and
recommendation of the Air Force office of primary responsibility and
adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion that the
applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice.
Consequently, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no
compelling basis to recommend granting the relief sought in this
application.
4. 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 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.
