      XXXXXXX    COUNSEL:  None

      XXXXXXX    HEARING DESIRED:  NO

MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE:  10 OCT 06

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

He receives a special selection  board  (SSB)  consideration  by  the
Calendar Year 2004B  (CY04B)  Lieutenant  Colonel  Central  Selection
Board with his officer selection brief (OSB) corrected  to  show  the
addition of his duty title effective 5 October 2002  as  “RAF  ASSIST
OPS OFF/VC10 ACFT CC.”

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

His assignment history was incorrect due to the omission of his  duty
title. He reviewed his officer preselection brief (OPB) prior to  the
board and noted several discrepancies,  including  the  missing  duty
title. He requested correction thru his  commander’s  support  staff.
He verified the corrections via AFPC’s assignment management  system.
Although the duty title was present in the OPR, he believes that  the
incomplete OSB adversely impacted the board members perception of his
progression  when  reviewing  his  overall  assignment  history.  The
omitted duty title (RAF Assist Ops Officer/VC10 ACFT CC) indicates  a
significant increase in level of responsibility and leadership.

In Block 8a, he stated date of discovery was  13  December  2004.  He
received a copy of his official records that met the  board  on    10
November 2004. IAW with the information contained in the package,  he
immediately requested  non-selection  counseling  from  AFPC  at  the
earliest possible date. AFPC provided the  nonselect  counsel  on  13
December 2004. During that counseling session he was informed of  the
error and his possibilities for a supplemental promotion  board.  The
counselor also informed him he had until May to submit  his  DD  Form
249.

He understands that the promotion board members look at many  records
and the average time spent on a record is only five to  six  minutes.
He has also been told that job performance  and  progression  is  the
primary means for determining promotion. This is why he is requesting
a supplemental promotion board. The omitted duty title  is  important
in showing a significant increase  in  level  of  responsibility  and
leadership. He was the squadron’s assistant operations officer during
a time of war (Operation Iraqi Freedom).

Applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant is currently serving on active duty in the  grade  of
major.

Applicant has received three OPR's since he  was  promoted  to  the
grade of major, all of which reflects "Meets Standards."

The applicant has one nonselection to the grade of lieutenant colonel
by the CY04B Lieutenant Colonel Central Selection Board.

_________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPPPO  recommends  denial  and  states  the  applicant  provides
insufficient relevant evidence  to  support  that  he  exercised  due
diligence prior to the selection board with ensuring accuracy of  his
record. As such, they stand by DoD policy delivered via AFI  36-3201,
para 6.3.2.2, which states, “Do not have an  SSB  if,  by  exercising
reasonable diligence, the officer should have discovered the error or
omission and could have taken corrective action before the originally
scheduled board convened.” Furthermore, although not reflected on the
OSB, the applicant’s Promotion Recommendation Form (PRF) and top  OPR
clearly reflected his  duty  title  as  “Royal  Air  Force  Assistant
Operations  Officer/VC-10   Aircraft   Commander.”   Therefore,   the
information was available to the board members for consideration when
rendering their promotion recommendation.

AFPC/DPPPO complete evaluation, with attachments is at Exhibit C.

AFPC/DPAO recommends correcting the applicant’s OSB  to  reflect  the
proper duty title in his official record and defer to AFPC/DPPPO  for
SSB.

AFPC/DPAO complete evaluation is at Exhibit D.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

Complete copies of the Air Force evaluations were  forwarded  to  the
applicant on 20 May 2005, for review and comment.  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.  Sufficient relevant evidence has been  presented  to  demonstrate
the existence of an error or injustice. The Air Force has  determined
the applicant’s duty history was incorrect  when  he  met  the  CY04B
selection board and it has since been corrected.  While it cannot  be
conclusively determined whether or not the incorrect duty history was
the reason for his nonselection for promotion by the CY04B board,  we
believe  that  it  served  to  deprive  him  of  fair  and  equitable
consideration.   Therefore,  the  Board  recommends  his  record,  to
include an OSB reflecting his correct duty history, be considered for
promotion by SSB for the CY04B lieutenant colonel board.

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:

The pertinent military records of the  Department  of  the  Air  Force
relating to APPLICANT be corrected to show that the Officer  Selection
Brief prepared for the Calendar Year 2004 (CY04B)  Lieutenant  Colonel
Central Selection Board be amended to reflect the duty title entry  of
“RAF Assist Ops Off/VC10 Acft” and Duty Air Force  Specialty  Code  of
“11A3Z” effective 5 October 2002.

It is further recommended that he be considered for promotion  to  the
grade of lieutenant colonel by Special Selection Board for  the  CY04B
Central Lieutenant Colonel Selection Board.
