__________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

He be considered for promotion to the grade of lieutenant colonel by
special selection board  (SSB)  for  the  CY04B  Lieutenant  Colonel
Central Selection Board with  inclusion  of  the  Officer  Selection
Brief (OSB) as previously corrected by the AFBCMR  and  the  revised
Promotion Recommendation Form (PRF) approved by his Senior Rater and
Management Level Review (MLR) president.

__________________________________________________________________

RESUME OF CASE:

The Board considered and denied requests on 20 Apr 05 to correct the
applicant’s OSB as viewed by the CY04B  Lieutenant  Colonel  Central
Selection  Board  and  to  grant  him  promotion  consideration   to
lieutenant colonel with the corrected record (Exhibit G).  On 30 Nov
05, the Board reconsidered and approved these requests (Exhibit  I).
The applicant was considered and not selected for promotion  to  the
grade of lieutenant colonel by special selection board in Jun 06.

In a new DD Form 149, dated 21 Nov 05 (Exhibit J), with attachments,
but actually received by the Board  on  13  Jan  06,  the  applicant
requested that his promotion consideration by SSB  approved  by  the
Board on 30 Nov 05 and based on corrections to his OSB also  include
a revised PRF approved by his Senior Rater and MLR  president.   The
applicant’s  request  for  an  SSB  with  a  revised  PRF  had  been
previously considered and denied by the  Evaluation  Reports  Appeal
Board (ERAB) on 6 May 05.  The applicant’s request to have a revised
PRF considered as part of his request for an SSB was not included in
his earlier request for reconsideration.

The applicant indicates that his PRF was written in violation of AFI
36-2406, Paragraphs 8.1.4.1.2 and 8.1.4.1.3.  AFI 36-2406, Paragraph
8.1.4.1.2, states that Senior Raters must be aware  of  the  ratee’s
most recent duty performance and may request subordinate supervisors
provide information on an officer’s most  recent  duty  performance.
The applicant states that his entire chain of  command  submitted  a
draft PRF he had prepared  as  the  final.   The  applicant  further
points out that AFI 36-2406, Paragraph 8.1.4.1.3, states that Senior
Raters will ensure  no  subordinate  commander/supervisor  asks,  or
allows, an officer to draft or prepare his own PRF.   The  applicant
states that the following accomplishments were missing from his PRF:

        a.  Selected for Field Grade Officer of the Quarter

        b.  Selected for HQ Air Staff Assignment

        c.  Notable achievements from his draft 2 Jun 03  through  1
Jun 04 Officer Performance Report (OPR).

The applicant asserts that his OSB and PRF  as  seen  by  the  CY04B
Lieutenant  Colonel  Central  Selection  Board  misrepresented   his
career.

__________________________________________________________________

ADDITIONAL AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPPPEP recommends denial of the applicant’s request.  They note
that the ERAB denied the applicant’s request to correct the PRF on 6
May and 27 Jun 05.  They further note that the Senior  Rater  states
that while they were wrong, procedurally, in using  the  applicant’s
draft PRF,  he  believes  the  original  PRF  captures  an  accurate
reflection of the applicant’s record  of  performance.   The  Senior
Rater bases his support of changes to  the  PRF  on  information  he
states was not available to him during the MLR process.

DPPPEP states that the applicant received a copy of his PRF 30  days
prior to it meeting the central selection board (CSB) in  accordance
with AFI 36-2406 and that he failed to review his PRF and point  out
any errors to his Senior Rater prior to the CSB.   AFPC/DPPPEP  also
indicates  the  applicant  was  provided  a  copy  of  MPFM   04-06,
Attachment 4 (Instruction Sheet for Review of  Preselection  Brief),
which contains guidance on how to correct a PRF.  AFPC/DPPPEP points
out that AFI 36-2401, Paragraph A1.6.1.1, states a change to  a  PRF
must, in effect,  remove  negative  information  from  an  officer’s
record or add positive information which was not  previously  known.
They state that the information added to  the  applicant’s  PRF  was
available to the CSB on his 1 Jun 04 OPR.  Based  on  the  fact  the
applicant failed to correct his PRF until after his nonselection for
promotion, his senior rater’s statement that  the  original  PRF  is
still accurate, and the additional information regarding  his  Field
Grade Officer of the Quarter award was available, DPPPEP states they
do not find the original PRF in error.

The complete evaluation is at Exhibit K.

__________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT’S RESPONSE TO ADDITIONAL AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

The applicant responds by providing what  he  states  is  additional
background and evidence to refute DPPEP’s evaluation.  He reiterates
that he  requests  the  Board  include  his  revised  PRF  with  the
corrected OSB for his upcoming  (at  that  time)  Jun  06  SSB.   He
discusses his actions to file the appeal  on  his  OSB  through  the
Board and his PRF appeal through his unit MLR process and the  ERAB.
He provides a timeline summary of actions  regarding  his  PRF  both
prior to and after the CSB.

In further support of his appeal, applicant  provides  documentation
related to his PRF appeal efforts.

The applicant’s complete response, with attachments, is  at  Exhibit
N.

__________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

After again reviewing the complete previous evidence of  record  and
the applicant’s new submission, we  find  that  sufficient  relevant
evidence has been presented to demonstrate the existence of error or
injustice.  The applicant has the support of his  senior  rater  and
MLR  President  to  correct  his  PRF.   AFPC/DPPPEP   bases   their
recommendation to deny on the applicant’s failure to take corrective
action before the  promotion  board  convened,  his  senior  rater’s
statement the PRF “captures an accurate reflection of his record  of
performance,” and that information regarding his quarterly award was
included in one of his OPRs.  However,  the  Board  notes  that  the
senior rater admits they erred procedurally in  completing  the  PRF
and has provided his support  for  a  new  PRF.   Additionally,  the
information included in most PRFs is often  available  elsewhere  in
the record, but is  included  in  the  PRF  to  highlight  the  most
significant accomplishments in  an  officer’s  career.   A  critical
element in getting a PRF revised is support  of  the  rating  chain,
especially the senior rater and MLR President.   When  an  applicant
has this critical support, it should not  be  regarded  lightly  and
only challenged under substantiated questionable circumstances.   We
do not find such a basis in this case.  Therefore, we recommend  the
applicant’s records be corrected as indicated below.

__________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:

The pertinent military records of the Department of  the  Air  Force
relating to APPLICANT, be  corrected  to  show  that  the  Promotion
Recommendation Form (PRF), AF Form 709, prepared  for  the  Calendar
Year 2004B (CY04B) Central Lieutenant  Colonel  Selection  Board  be
declared void and removed from his  records  and  the  attached  PRF
reading in Section IV, Line eight (8), “Brilliant brief to USecAF  &
MDA/CC; selected AFSPC/DR Field  Grade  Officer  of  the  1st...  be
accepted for file in its place.

It is further recommended that his record, to include  the  attached
PRF, be considered by a Special Selection Board (SSB) for the  CY04B
Central Lieutenant Colonel Selection Board.
