            INDEX CODE:  131.00

MANDATORY COMPLETION DATE:  29 JUNE 2007

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Her duty title on her P0505A Promotion Recommendation Form (PRF) and on  her
Officer Selection Brief (OSB) previously reviewed by  the  CY05A  Lieutenant
Colonel Selection Board (CSB) be corrected to read  Element  Chief,  Women’s
Health Clinic (ECWHC) effective 15 March 2005, and the corrected  record  be
considered by a Special Selection Board (SSB) for promotion.
_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

The job titles reflected on her PRF and  on  her  Single  Uniform  Retrieval
Format (SURF) were incorrect.  The title  shown  was  Women’s  Health  Nurse
Practitioner (WHNP); however, the  correct  duty  title  of  Element  Chief,
Women’s Health Clinic (ECWHC), effective March 15, 2005, was  not  indicated
as her duty title at the time the promotion board met.  Her Jan 05  official
personnel brief correctly stated her  job  title.   Her  PRF  was  completed
prior to her movement to the element chief  position.   She  worked  closely
with her chain of command and local  personnel  office  to  ensure  the  job
change was  reflected  in  her  official  personnel  record.   She  received
assurance from all that the record was updated; however, upon review of  her
record that met the board it was discovered that  the  duty  title  was  not
correct as she had been informed.

In support of the application, she submits a copy of  her  personnel  change
request, two support letters, and copies of her OSB and SURF.  Her  complete
submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

HQ AFPC/DPAMN recommends denial of the applicant’s  request.   DPAMN  states
it  is  the  member’s  responsibility  to  ensure  that  records   and   all
information on the OSB is correct and accurate  prior  to  the  board  date.
DPMAN notes her duty title was changed in Mar 05 and the board met on 5  Jul
05; therefore, the applicant had  more  than  three  months  to  ensure  her
record was accurate and complete.  DPAMN’s evaluation is at Exhibit C.

HQ AFPC/DPPPE recommends denial of the applicant’s  request.   DPPPE  states
the Officer Preselection  Briefs  (OPBs)  were  forwarded  to  the  Military
Personnel Flight (MPF) on 14 Feb 05 and the MPF  suspense  to  disperse  the
OPBs was 8 Mar 05.  DPPPE notes the PRF cutoff date, which is  the  earliest
date senior raters  can  sign  the  PRF,  was  6  May  05.   Based  on  this
information, the PRF  was  not  accomplished  until  after  the  applicant’s
movement to the element chief position.  On or  about  6  Jun  05  (30  days
prior to the board), the applicant would have received  her  PRF  to  review
for accuracy.  She knew the PRF contained the wrong duty title but  did  not
take the necessary actions to correct the  PRF.   In  addition,  she  should
have reviewed her records and surf information prior to the board  convening
date of 6 Jul 05 to ensure her records  were  correct.   DPPPE  opines  even
with asking the MPF if the update was made,  she  should  have  requested  a
copy of her OPB  or  SURF  prior  to  the  board  convening  to  verify  her
information was accurate for the upcoming promotion board.

DPPPE notes if the applicant’s effective date  for  the  duty  title  “Elem.
Chief, Women’s Health/WHPN” is 15 Mar 05, then the duty  title  on  the  OPR
closing out on 22 Mar 05 should be corrected.  However, the evaluators  (who
knew about the duty title change according to the applicant) signed the  OPR
on 15 Apr 05 and left the duty title as “Women’s Health  Nurse  Practitioner
(NP).  DPPPE explains this may be due to the fact the duty  title  effective
date (according to the most recent surf) show an effective date  of  25  Apr
05, and if this is correct, the duty title on the  OPR  is  correct.   DPPPE
concludes the applicant still  had  time  to  review  her  PRF  and  request
changes prior to the board if her duty title change  was  effective  25  Apr
05.

DPPPE’s evaluation, with attachment, is at Exhibit D.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force  Evaluation  was  forwarded  to  the  applicant  for
review and comment on 19 May  2006.   As  of  this  date,  this  office  has
received no response (Exhibit D).

_________________________________________________________________

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 probable error or injustice.  The applicant’s  contentions  are
duly noted; however,  other  than  her  own  assertions,  we  have  seen  no
evidence by the applicant that would lead us to believe that the duty  title
on her PRF and OSB, during  the  period  in  question,  should  be  changed.
Therefore, we agree with the opinion and  recommendation  of  HQ  AFPC/DPPPE
and adopt their rational as the basis for  our  decision  to  not  favorably
consider the applicant’s requests related to her PRF  and  OSB  reviewed  by
the CY05A Lieutenant Colonel  Selection  Board.   Since  we  are  unable  to
conclude the applicant’s record, as seen by the CY05A  selection  board  was
improperly constituted, the applicant’s request  for  SSB  consideration  is
denied.

________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:

The applicant be notified that the evidence presented  did  not  demonstrate
the existence of probable 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.
