RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2005-01459
INDEX CODE: 131.00
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: YES
MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE: 6 Nov 06
_________________________________________________________________
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.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The Air Force changed Professional Military Education (PME) policy for JMIC
to IDE PME in residence credit. Credit was grandfathered for Year Groups
1989 through 1994. He is Year Group 1988 and an August 1994 JMIC graduate.
99.7% of majors promoted in 2003 were promoted, he was not. The Air Force
unfairly excluded the 1988 Year Group in grandfathering and denied him PME
credit. He completed JMIC early in his career and should benefit equally
from the policy. April 2004 PME policy corrects the oversight and
recognized the importance of JMIC and is now giving JMIC graduates PME
credit and the credit should be applied retroactively to his record. Had
he the PME in-residence status in his record at the time his Promotion
Recommendation Form (PRF) was prepared, he likely would have received a
"DP" recommendation. His record listed IDE/ISS by correspondence, placing
him at a disadvantage.
In support of his request, applicant provided his commander's
recommendation, web site printouts, email communiqués, documentation
associated with his completion of JMIC, draft of the Developmental
Education Nomination/Designation Process, his Officer Performance Reports
and decoration citations. His complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant was appointed a second lieutenant on 1 Jun 88 and was voluntarily
ordered to extended active duty on that same date. He has been
progressively promoted to the grade of major, having assumed that grade
effective and with a date of rank of 1 Oct 99. He was considered and not
selected to the grade of lieutenant colonel by the CY03A and CY04B
Lieutenant Colonel Central Selection Boards.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPAO recommends denial. DPAO states there are four criteria that keep
the applicant from getting IDE credit: a) He is in the 1988 Year Group and
is not eligible for grandfathering because he had already completed his
three years of opportunity to compete for ISS under the old system. He was
given every opportunity afforded his peers to be selected for ISS and was
not selected. b) He attended JMIC as a captain, clearly before he was
eligible to attend any form of IDE. c) JMIC did not become an IDE
opportunity until 2003. He attended school in 1994. d) Grandfathering IDE
credit was done to keep officers from having to attend back to back schools
or sacrifice their opportunity to attend IDE; it was not intended to
improve promotion opportunity. The DPAO evaluation is at Exhibit C.
AFPC/DPPPO recommends denial of the applicant's request based on the
recommendation of DPAO (see Exhibit D).
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the applicant on 20
May 05 for review and comment within 30 days. As of this date, this office
has received no response.
_________________________________________________________________
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 error or injustice. We took notice of the applicant's
complete submission in judging the merits of the case; however, we agree
with the opinions and recommendations of the Air Force offices of primary
responsibility and adopt their rationale as the basis for our conclusion
that the applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice.
Therefore, 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 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.

Her commander chose to remove her from attendance with prejudice based on her performance under his command which was within his purview as her commander and documented in her record. Additionally, states DPPPO, since the citation for the MSM, 2 OLC, was filed in her Officer Selection Record, a notice was placed in her record indicating the decoration was missing; therefore, the board members were aware of its existence and it was factored into their promotion evaluation.
