AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPPPWB recommends denial of the applicant’s  request  for  supplemental
promotion consideration to SMSgt for cycles  03E8  and  04E8  based  on  the
rationale provided.  DPPP states the SNCO  Evaluation  Board  for  the  03E8
promotion  cycle  convened  on  22 January  through  7  February  2003   and
promotion selections were completed  on  11  March  2003.   The  applicant’s
board score was 330.00, his total score was 571.91, and the  score  required
for selection in his Air Force Specialty Code (AFSC) was 651.64.   The  SNCO
Evaluation Board for the 04E8 promotion cycle  convened  26 January  through
13 February 2004 and promotion selections were completed on  8  March  2004.
The applicant’s board score was 360.00, his total score was 621.70, and  the
score required for selection in his AFSC was  666.99.   Although  his  award
citations were not physically  filed  in  his  SNCO  Selection  folder,  the
awards were listed on his Evaluation Briefs.

DPPPWB states in accordance to Air Force  Instruction  36-2502,  Table  2.5,
supplemental promotion consideration is not authorized if  the  citation  or
order was filed in the selection folder or if the decoration was  listed  on
the evaluation brief used by the  board.   It  is  ultimately  the  member’s
responsibility to ensure his records are  complete  and  accurate  prior  to
meeting the board.  If an error exists,  it  must  be  identified  prior  to
selects being run for that particular cycle.  Selects for  cycle  03E8  were
run on 11  March  2003  and  on  8  March  2004  for  cycle  04E8.   In  the
applicant’s case, he did  not  pursue  correction  of  his  record  until  3
November 2004, well after selections for both cycles were made.

DPPPWB states a review of the  applicant’s  selection  folder  reflects  his
decorations were updated in the SNCO Evaluation Brief and  reviewed  by  the
evaluation board.  The evaluation boards reviewed his  record  and  assigned
the board scores with full knowledge of his decorations.

It is DPPPWB’s opinion that further consideration by an evaluation board  is
not appropriate or authorized.  The DPPPWB evaluation is at Exhibit C.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force Evaluation was  forwarded  to  the  applicant  on  2
December 2005, 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.  The applicant has  requested  supplemental
promotion consideration with the inclusion of his citations for the MSM  and
MSM/1OLC for the 03E8 Central Evaluation Board and;  in  addition  to  those
citations, his MSM/2OLC and AFCM citations be included in  his  records  for
supplemental promotion consideration for the 04E8 Central Evaluation  Board.
 As noted by the Air Force Office of  Primary  Responsibility,  supplemental
promotion consideration is not authorized  if  the  citation  or  order  was
filed in the selection folder  or  if  the  decoration  was  listed  on  the
evaluation brief used by the  board.   We  note  the  applicant’s  selection
folder reflects his decorations were updated in the  SNCO  Evaluation  Brief
and reviewed by the evaluation board.  Therefore, the evaluation boards  had
full knowledge  of  his  decorations  when  they  reviewed  his  record  and
assigned the board scores.  Based on this information,  the  applicant  does
not meet the requirements for supplemental promotion consideration.  In  our
opinion and based on the facts of this case, we believe that  the  applicant
has received fair and equitable  consideration  for  promotion  through  the
selection board process.  Therefore, in  the  absence  of  evidence  to  the
contrary, we find no basis upon which to recommend approval  of  the  relief
requested.

__________________________________________________________________

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.
