APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

He be considered for promotion by a Special Selection  Board  (SSB)
for the CY05A  (6  Jul  05)  (P0505A)  Lieutenant  Colonel  Central
Selection Board.

___________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

Prior to meeting the CY05B Lt Col Line board, he corrected his duty
title with his orderly room.  They assured him the  correction  was
in the system, however, unfortunately, due  to  computer  problems,
the correction did  not  take  place.   His  duty  title  was  also
incorrect on his promotion recommendation form (PRF).

He was deployed at the time of the promotion announcement  and  did
not have access to the AFPC website.  When  he  returned  home,  he
learned that the duty title had not been updated.

He believes this materially damaged his promotion prospects at  the
CY05B promotion board because  his  duty  history  failed  to  show
proper progression.

In support of his appeal, applicant submitted a personal statement;
a copy of his PRF for the  P0504B  promotion  board,  and  computer
printouts of his current duty title and duty history.

Applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

HQ AFPC/DPAO recommended the applicant’s duty title  and  his  Duty
Air  Force  Specialty  Code  (DAFSC)  be  corrected  on  his   PRF.
Applicant’s duty title on his officer selection brief (OSB)  should
be replaced with “Asst Chf of Flt Safety/C-130H IP” effective 1 Jun
04.  This was substantiated by the officer performance report (OPR)
with a 31 May 05 closeout date.  His DAFSC on  his  PRF  should  be
K11M3B.

They deferred to HQ AFPC/DPPPO for Special  Selection  Board  (SSB)
consideration.

Additionally, DPAO states that the actual board  the  applicant  is
contesting is the P0505A Board (Primary).

The HQ AFPC/DPAO  complete  evaluation,  with  attachments,  is  at
Exhibit C.

HQ AFPC/DPPPE recommended denial.  They state  applicant  indicated
prior to meeting the CY05A Lt Col promotion board, he contacted his
orderly room to correct his duty title.  The orderly room  provided
a memo stating the applicant  initiated  corrective  action  on  or
about 25 May 05 and that MILPDS was updated correctly, however, AMS
did not read the update.  DPPPE reviewed the update in  MILPDS  and
noticed the update in MILPDS was not updated until 9 Nov  05.   The
AMS system is a direct reflection of MILPDS  and  if  it  contained
wrong information,  then  the  reason  for  it  is  because  MILPDS
contained wrong information.

Further, the applicant states that he was deployed at the  time  of
the promotion release.  During his return he noticed the duty title
was not updated.  Officers are encouraged to ensure  their  records
are accurate prior to meeting the CSB.   The  applicant  failed  to
review his records prior to the CSB of 6 Jul 05.  The applicant had
from 26 May 05 – 6 Jul 05 to review his records and ensure the duty
title was updated correctly.  In addition, the  applicant  did  not
depart for his temporary duty (TDY)  until  25  Aug  05.   The  TDY
played no part in his process to correct his records prior  to  the
CSB.

Additionally, the applicant states the PRF reflects  the  incorrect
duty title.  After review of the PRF, DPPPE determined the  PRF  is
accurate.   Senior  Raters  (SRs)  are  authorized   to   use   the
information (i.e., duty  title)  from  the  last  OPR  on  file  to
complete the PRF.  The last report on file during the  PRF  process
was the 31 May 04 OPR; which reflects a duty  title  of  “Chief  of
Readiness/C-130H Instructor Aircraft Commander.”  The earliest  the
SR could sign the PRF was on 6 May 05.  As of  6 May 05,  the  duty
title on the P0505A PRF was accurately documented per the 31 May 04
OPR.

Although the duty title “Assistant Chief  of  Flight  Safety/C-130H
Instructor Pilot” was not correctly reflected on his  OSB,  it  was
correct on his 31 May 05 OPR and therefore available to  the  board
members for their consideration in the promotion selection process.

The HQ AFPC/DPPPO complete  evaluation,  with  attachments,  is  at
Exhibit D.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the applicant
on 12 May 06 for review and comment within 30  days.   As  of  this
date, no response has been received by this office (Exhibit E).

___________________________________________________________________

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  warranting  a
correction of his OSB/PRF, and SSB  consideration.   The  applicant
contends his nonselection for promotion to  lieutenant  colonel  by
the CY05A Lieutenant Colonel Central Selection Board was due to  an
incorrect duty title on his OSB and PRF, which  materially  damaged
his prospects for  promotion  because  it  failed  to  show  proper
progression.  The Board noted  the  recommendation  by  the  Deputy
Chief, Operations Assignment Division; however, we disagree.  While
the duty title “Assistant Chief of Flight Safety/C-130H  Instructor
Pilot” was not reflected on his OSB, it was correct on his  31  May
05 OPR and available to the CSB and the duty title reflected on the
PRF was accurate at the time his Senior Rater signed the  PRF.  The
Chief, Evaluations  Programs  Branch,  recommends  the  applicant’s
request be denied.  The applicant contends he was deployed  at  the
time of the promotion release and did not  notice  the  duty  title
error until he returned.  DPPPE noted that officers are  encouraged
to ensure their records are accurate  prior  to  meeting  the  CSB.
Evidence reflects the applicant did not depart for  his  TDY  until
25 Aug 05 and had ample time to  correct  his  duty  title  on  the
officer preselection brief (OPB), as well as the PRF prior to 6 Jul
05.    Therefore, we agree with the opinions and recommendations of
AFPC/DPPPE and adopt its rationale as the basis  for  our  decision
that the applicant has failed  to  sustain  his  burden  of  having
suffered either an error or injustice.  Hence, in  the  absence  of
persuasive evidence to the contrary, we find no compelling basis to
recommend granting the relief sought in this application.

___________________________________________________________________

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.
