RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2005-02524
INDEX CODE: 111.00
XXXXXXX COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His current posted AF Form 709, Promotion Recommendation Form (PRF) be
removed from his promotion folder at the Air Force Personnel Center and
replaced with the corrected PRF posted in his file for the Special
Selection Board (SSB) for CY04A Colonel Central Selection Board.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 22 Feb 06, the Board considered his request and recommended his Officer
Performance Report (OPR) closing 19 Mar 04 be voided and that he be
considered for promotion to the grade of colonel by SSB for the CY04A
Colonel Central Selection Board. (A copy of the Record of Proceedings,
with exhibits, is at Exhibit F).
On 10 May 06, the applicant requested that his PRF for the CY04A Colonel
Central Selection Board SSB be removed from his promotion folder and
replaced with a new endorsed PRF. His Officer Performance Report (OPR)
closing 19 Mar 04 was declared void and removed from his record by the
AFBCMR’s previous decision. The OPR contained many errors in fact and
omitted data, creating a negative perception of his overall promotion
records during the management-level review (MLR) in Nov 04, thus
facilitating marginal verbiage in the current posted PRF. The current PRF
omitted stratification, major awards received and a career push for Senior
Development Education (SDE) attendance. The applicant provided the Board
with a corrected PRF endorsed by his Senior Rater (SR) and a letter of
concurrence from the MLR President.
In support of his appeal, applicant submitted a copy of his original PRF
for the CY04A board; new endorsed PRF; a copy of the Management-Level
Review letter of concurrence, dated 25 Apr 06; a copy of AFBCMR
Recommendation, dated 9 Mar 06, and an extract from the AFI 36-2401, para
A1.6., dated 20 Feb 04,
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit G.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ AFPC/DPPPE reviewed this application and recommended denial. This is an
additional request to the AFBCMR. The AFBCMR approved voiding the
applicant’s 20 Mar 04 OPR and granted an SSB promotion consideration for
CY04A.
The applicant provided a substitute report along with the concurrence from
his MLR President. HQ AFPC/DPPEP returned the application to the applicant
requesting a memo of concurrence from the Senior Rater (SR) as directed by
AFI 36-2401, table 3, rule 3. The PRF contained a complete rewrite in
Section IV which required an explanation from the SR as to why the PRF
deserved to be completely rewritten. The SR later provided an email in
lieu of a memo stating he does not concur with the changes to the PRF and
requests the current PRF remain in the applicant’s records. The SR noted
the information from the 20 Mar 04 OPR (specifically line 8 stating “11 WG
Tm of Yr Awd”) was mentioned in the applicant’s Meritorious Service Medal
(MSM) for 24 Mar 02 – 1 Jul 04 and the PRF is an accurate assessment.
A complete copy of the evaluation is at Exhibit H.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
Having been provided the advisory opinion, the applicant reiterated his
contentions that his previous PRF be declared void due to the removal of a
negative OPR closing 19 Mar 04, and should be replaced with a new endorsed
PRF. The overall wording of the PRF is extremely important to members of
the promotion board because it sets the initial tone critical to scoring
the officer’s records. The PRF requested for removal was sabotaged by the
same former leadership that wrote the OPR closing 19 Mar 04, which was
removed by the Board.
He requests that the Board not accept the recommendation of DPPPE to keep
the poorly written PRF in the corrected records. AFI 36-2401, para
A1.5.1.2, states that SR and MLR president must carefully consider what, if
any, the correction or change may have had on the final PRF content, rating
or the final preparation content. He enclosed an endorsed PRF by the SR
and an endorsed letter of concurrence from the MLR president. Each
submitted after careful review of the entire corrected records.
He further explained the sequence of events and circumstances surrounding
his corrected PRF and that without the negative OPR, the positive tone of
the overall corrected record should be reflected as such in the new PRF.
In support of his response, he provided a personal statement and copies of
his last seven OPRs from 1 Feb 99 through 1 Feb 05.
The applicant’s complete review is at Exhibit J.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the
existence of error or injustice regarding the applicant’s request for
additional consideration for promotion by SSB for the CY04A Colonel Central
Selection Board with a corrected PRF. The applicant believes his PRF
omitted stratification, major awards received and a career push for SDE
attendance and that the positive tone of the overall corrected record
should be reflected in the new PRF. After careful consideration of the
comments of the Air Force and that provided by the applicant, the Board
noted that although the SR initially endorsed the corrected PRF; it appears
upon further review the SR no longer concurred with the changes to the PRF
and requested the current PRF remain in the applicant’s records. Although,
the SR no longer concurs with the new endorsed PRF, the applicant had a
letter of concurrence from the Management Level Review (MLR) President,
which supported corrections to the applicant’s PRF. The Board considered
the unique circumstances surrounding the applicant’s case; nonetheless, in
coming to it’s decision, they noted that AFI 36-2401, states when
considering changes to section IV of the PRF, the senior rater needs to
demonstrate a material error in the PRF; a material error in the record of
performance which substantially impacted the content of the PRF; or a
material error in the process by which the PRF was crafted. In all
instances, the requested change to section IV must be related to the
documented error. Appeals to rewrite section IV simply to include
different, but previously known or documented accomplishments are
inappropriate. The applicant has failed to provide supporting documents of
a material error in the report. The information the applicant has
requested the AFBCMR place in the PRF was previously known to the senior
rater. The information does not remove negative information from the
officer’s record or add positive information that was not previously known.
Therefore, after a thorough review of all the factors presented to the
Board, we found no compelling evidence which would lead us to recommend
favorable consideration of the applicant’s appeal.
_________________________________________________________________
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.

Applicant failed to provide supporting evidence to prove the report is inaccurate or was completed with any form of bias. After thoroughly reviewing the evidence of record and that provided by the applicant, the Board majority believes that some doubt has been presented regarding a push for a group command assignment in the PRF submitted for the CY04A Colonel Central Selection Board. Therefore, the majority of the Board recommends that the applicant’s PRF for the CY04A Colonel Central...

The applicant contends her OPR closing 31 January 2004 should have been in her OSR prepared for the CY04A Lieutenant Colonel Selection Board and the performance feedback date (8 October 2003) in section VI, of the same contested OPR is incorrect. However, it is noted this PFW was from the previous reporting period and given by a different rater who was not in the rating chain at the time of the 31 January 2004 OPR. The applicant provided no documents or letters from the rating chain...

When he was considered by the CY03A and two subsequent boards, his record included an Officer Performance Report (OPR) with inappropriate statements. Although applicant has provided a memo from his SR, dated 28 October 2004, which contained the statement “The OPR as originally written had the strong potential to unfairly prejudice a SR and promotion board in a negative fashion, and did not accurately reflect your true potential.”, this statement is generic in nature in that he refers to “a...
