IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2005-01459
            INDEX CODE:  131.00
            COUNSEL:  NONE
            HEARING DESIRED:  YES

MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE: 9 Mar 07

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

1.  His records be corrected to show  Intermediate  Developmental  Education
(IDE) credit for Joint Military Intelligence College  (JMIC)  as  of  August
1994.

2.  He be considered for promotion to the grade  of  lieutenant  colonel  by
Special Selection Board (SSB) for the Calendar Year  2003A  (CY03A)  Central
Lieutenant Colonel Selection Board.

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

On 8 Jul 05, the Board considered and  denied  a  similar  appeal.   In  his
previous submission, applicant contended that  the  Air  Force  changed  the
policy for JMIC to IDE PME in-residence  credit,  grandfathered  the  credit
for Year Groups 1989 through 1994, and unfairly excluded  Year  Group  1988.
He completed JMIC early in his career and believes he  should  benefit  from
the policy.  Had the PME in-residence status been in his record at the  time
his Promotion Recommendation Form was rendered, he believes  he  would  have
received a  "DP"  recommendation.   For  an  accounting  of  the  facts  and
circumstances surrounding the applicant’s request and the rationale  of  the
earlier decision by the Board, see the Record of Proceedings at Exhibit F.

In his most recent submission, applicant states the denial of  his  original
request was based on an inaccurate analysis  provided  by  AFPC/DPAO.   DPAO
believes it is justifiable to ignore his accomplishment  and  deny  his  in-
residence PME credit.  DPAO concludes  that  completing  the  graduate-level
program as a captain was a waste of his time.  He had no way of  knowing  it
would be to his advantage to have waited five years to  attend  JMICA  as  a
major.  The Air Force's negligence in recognizing  the  importance  of  JMIC
for many years is not grounds or justification  to  exclude  him  from  this
significant distinction.  In support if his  appeal,  applicant  provided  a
personal statement, an Air Force News  printout,  AFSLMO  Force  Development
Briefing, a Public Affairs article, and a statement  provided  by  his  wing
commander.  His complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit G.

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

1.  After again reviewing  this  application  and  the  additional  evidence
provided in support of his appeal, we remain unpersuaded that the  applicant
has been the victim of an error or injustice.  After a  thorough  review  of
the additional evidence provided, it is  our  opinion  that  the  Air  Force
policy regarding the award of IDE credit for JMIC is  clear  in  its  intent
and we believe it was appropriately determined that he  does  not  meet  the
criteria for award of IDE  credit.   Absent  persuasive  evidence  that  the
applicable rules were inappropriately applied or that he was  denied  rights
to which he was entitled, we do not find his  assertions  persuasive  enough
to warrant reversal of our previous determination.  Accordingly, we find  no
basis upon which to favorably consider the requested relief.

2.  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 issue  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.

    Had the applicant reviewed his promotion records prior to the ISS board rather than after it, the DMSM could and would have been reflected on the Professional Military Education (PME) selection brief.
