MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE:  1 Aug 07

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

He be considered by the Calendar Year 2005 (CY05)  Lieutenant  Colonel
(LTC) Continuation Board with a Duty Air Force Specialty Code  (DAFSC)
of 14N4 (Intelligence) rather than 86P0 (Command and Control),  and/or
he be considered by a Special Selection Board  (SSB)  for  the  Fiscal
Year 2006 (FY06) US  Air  Force  Reserve  (USAFR)  Line  and  Non-Line
Colonel (Selected Reserve (SelRes))  Promotion  Selection  Board  with
inclusion  of  a  Joint  Service  Commendation  Medal  (JSCM)  and   a
Humanitarian Service Medal (HSM) in his record.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

A Mandatory Retirement Date (MRD) was established due to an  error  in
his DAFSC versus his assignment AFSC.  His assignment  AFSC  was  86P0
(over-manned); his DAFSC was 14N4 (critical).  At the  Standing  Joint
Force HQs (SJFHQ), US Joint Forces  Command  (USJFCOM),  his  position
required 14N4, although he was slotted against an 86P0 in the  Reserve
unit.  At DIA/SFE-01B, he is currently serving in a 14N4 position with
mandatory   14N4   and/or   65W3   (Cost   Analysis)/65F3   (Financial
Management).  He is fully qualified for the position as he  holds  all
AFSCs with valid clearances and has  an  operations  background.   The
JSCM for service during 2000-2004  and  the  HSM  for  service  during
Operation Katrina, 6-21 Sep 05,  should  have  been  included  in  his
record when considered by the FY06 USAFR Colonel SelRes board.

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

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant is an Individual Mobilization Augmentee (IMA) serving in
the Reserve grade of LTC with a Mandatory Separation Date (MSD) of  31
Aug 06.

[Note:  According to HQ ARPC/DPBPP’s generic explanation via Email  to
the AFBCMR Staff, each SelRes position  (assignment)  has  a  specific
number and authorized AFSC.  The DAFSC is tied to the  position.   The
Primary AFSC (PAFSC)  is  tied  to  the  member’s  qualifications  and
experience in a specific AFSC.  Members have control over their  PAFSC
classifications, and their DAFSCs and PAFSCs can be different.]

The applicant’s Officer Performance  Reports  (OPRs)  from  29 Sep  01
through 29 Sep 04 all have a DAFSC of 14N.  The OPR closing 30 Jun 05,
and the Promotion Recommendation Form  (PRF)  prepared  for  the  FY06
USAFR Colonel SelRes selection board both reflected a  DAFSC  of  14N4
and a  duty  title  of  Information  Superiority  Operations  Officer.
However, according to the virtual Military Personnel Flight (vMPF) and
HQ ARPC/DPB, effective  18 May  05,  the  applicant  was  assigned  to
Norfolk NAS, VA, with a DAFSC of 86P0.

The  Secretary  of  the  Air  Force  (SAF)  convened  the   CY05   LTC
Continuation Board  on  17 Oct  05  (the  FY06  USAFR  Colonel  SelRes
selection board convened that same date).   The  eligibility  criteria
for the continuation board was, in part, an MSD based on 28  years  of
commissioned service expiring between 1 Jan and 31 Dec 06, and a PAFSC
or DAFSC manned at 95% or less (secondary and tertiary AFSCs were  not
considered).  The 86P0  AFSC  was  manned  at  115%,  well  above  the
requirement set by the  SAF.   The  applicant  was  not  selected  for
promotion by the FY06 USAFR Colonel SelRes selection board and was not
considered for continuation by the CY05 LTC Continuation board.

The applicant was not awarded the JSCM until 1 Nov 05, 11  days  after
the FY06 USAFR Colonel SelRes selection board adjourned.  The  HSM  is
not high enough in precedence to be placed in  the  Officer  Selection
Record  (OSR)  or  to  be  presented  to  a  selection  board.    Only
decorations  above  a  Combat  Action  Ribbon   (Achievement   Medals,
Commendation  Medals,  etc.)  are  available  for  selection   boards’
consideration.

_________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

HQ ARPC/DPB recommends the application be denied.  They are unable  to
confirm the applicant is in a position requiring a DAFSC of 14N4.  AFI
36-2504, Officer Promotion, Continuation and Selective  Early  Removal
in the Reserve of the Air Force, paragraph 1.7., requires  an  officer
to monitor his/her own eligibility and ensure the selection record  is
correct and up to date  before  a  board  convenes.   The  information
contained in Sections I through III on the PRF  did  not  reflect  the
applicant’s assignment when the FY06 USAFR  Colonel  SelRes  selection
board  convened.   The  Reserve  Management  Vacancy   System   (RMVS)
indicates the position he fills is classified as 86P0 and requires the
qualifications of the AFSC to  accomplish  the  job.   Personnel  data
systems indicated that at the time of the board the applicant was in a
billet with a DAFSC  and  PAFSC  of  86P0,  which  did  not  meet  the
eligibility  criteria  established  by  the   SAF   for   continuation
consideration.

A complete copy of the evaluation is at Exhibit C.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

The applicant asks whether the goal was to retain a 28 year  LTC  with
current intelligence experience or to reduce Reserve end strength.  He
argues that, while the AFSC information in the MilPDS  is  technically
correct, it does not mean it is factual/actual.  His PAFSC  should  be
14N4 and his DAFSC is 14N4, while his assignment AFSC is 86P0.   SJFHQ
positions do not match the USJFCOM billet assignment.  The PRF and OPR
reflect his status for the senior rater and  performance  period,  and
the OPR’s 30 Jun 05 closing date is past 18 May 05.  During  the  time
of the board, the AFSC required for the  position  was  14N4.   He  is
currently serving as an intelligence analyst with DIA.  He  should  be
considered an intelligence officer by merit of  his  contribution  and
duties, not his assignment of record.

A complete copy of applicant’s response is at 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.    Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented  to  demonstrate
the existence of error or injustice to warrant partial relief.   After
careful consideration of  the  available  evidence,  we  conclude  the
applicant presents the more persuasive argument that  he  should  have
been considered by the CY05 LTC Continuation board  with  a  DAFSC  of
14N4, rather than 86PO.  HQ ARPC/DPB advises  that,  effective  18 May
05, the applicant was assigned to Norfolk NAS, VA,  with  a  DAFSC  of
86P0, and therefore was not eligible for consideration by the CY05 LTC
Continuation board when it convened.  The applicant’s OPRs from 29 Sep
01 through 30 Jun 05 and the PRF prepared for the FY06  USAFR  Colonel
SelRes Promotion selection board reflect a DAFSC of 14N4.  We are also
aware that, often for the sake of  expediency,  many  IMAs  and  other
military members with skills critical to fighting the  Global  War  on
Terrorism  are  being  assigned  where  needed  to   positions   whose
classifications  may  not  necessarily  reflect   the   duties   these
individuals are  actually  performing.   We  believe  the  possibility
exists that the SJFHQ positions  did  not  match  the  USJFCOM  billet
assignment and the applicant may  have  been  unfairly  excluded  from
consideration by  the  CY05  LTC  Continuation  board.   We  therefore
believe his records, effective 18 May 05, should reflect a  PAFSC  and
DAFSC of 14N4, rendering him eligible for consideration for  continued
service by the CY05 LTC Continuation board.   Therefore,  his  records
should be corrected to the extent indicated below.

4.    Notwithstanding the above determination, with regard to the FY06
USAFR Colonel SelRes selection board, a majority of the Board  is  not
persuaded that reconsideration is warranted because the JSCM  was  not
awarded until after this board adjourned  and  the  HSM  is  not  high
enough in precedence to be placed in the OSR.  The applicant  has  not
established to the majority’s satisfaction that there  are  errors  in
his OSR warranting SSB consideration for the FY06 USAFR Colonel SelRes
selection board.

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:

The pertinent military records of the  Department  of  the  Air  Force
relating to the APPLICANT be corrected to show that, effective  18 May
2005, he was awarded a Duty Air Force Specialty Code and a Primary Air
Force Specialty Code of 14N4, rather than 86PO, and he  be  considered
for  continuation  by  the  Calendar  Year  2005  Lieutenant   Colonel
Continuation Board.

The following members of the  Board  considered  this  application  in
Executive Session on 25 April 2006, under the provisions  of  AFI  36-
2603:

also voted to grant SSB  consideration  for  the  FY06  USAFR  Colonel
SelRes selection board with the JSCM included
in the applicant’s records; however, he  did  not  wish  to  submit  a
Minority Report.   The  following  documentary  evidence  relating  to
AFBCMR Docket Number BC-2006-00284 was considered:
