APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

He be considered for promotion to the grade of  lieutenant  colonel
by Special Selection Board (SSB) for the CY04B (P0504B) (6 Jul  05)
Lieutenant  Colonel  Central  Selection  Board  with  a  substitute
Promotion  Recommendation  Form  (PRF)  in  his  Officer  Selection
Record.

___________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

The  PRF  does   not   accurately   capture   his   entire   career
accomplishments  and  recognitions.   His  Senior  Rater  (SR)  was
unaware of  several  accomplishments.   IAW  AFI  36-2401,  he  has
included a rewritten PRF from his SR, with the concurrence  of  the
Management Level Review (MLR) President.

In support of  his  appeal,  applicant  submitted  a  copy  of  the
original PRF; the Substitute PRF; Evaluation Reports  Appeal  Board
(ERAB) package, and other supporting documents.

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

___________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant is currently  serving  in  the  grade  of  lieutenant
colonel with a date of rank of  1 Apr  06,  and  a  Duty  Title  of
Director of Facility Management Engineering.

Colonel Central Selection Board which convened on 12 Jul 04.

promotion zone by the CY05A Lieutenant  Colonel  Central  Selection
Board which convened on 6 Jul 05.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

HQ AFPC/DPPPEP recommended denial.  The applicant filed  an  appeal
under  the  provisions  of  AFI  36-2401,  Correcting  Officer  and
Enlisted Evaluation Reports; the  ERAB  approved  substituting  the
24 Apr 04 OPR and correcting the P0504B PRF.  The  ERAB  agreed  to
correct Section III of the PRF based on  the  supporting  documents
the member provided;  however,  the  ERAB  denied  the  request  to
substitute the PRF.  The applicant was  also  granted  supplemental
promotion consideration based on the changes.

The applicant received a copy of the contested PRF 12  days  before
the central promotion board.  AFI 36-2406, states the PRF should be
provided to the member approximately 30  days  before  the  central
selection board (CSB).  After reviewing  his  PRF,  he  could  have
corrected or  appealed  its  contents  prior  to,  not  after,  the
promotion board.  In addition, he could have written  a  letter  to
the board to further explain  his  accomplishments  or  to  clarify
statements reflected on the PRF.  The  applicant  stated  that  his
chain of command were not  available  to  brief  and  take  action;
however, he did not explain where they were prior to the CSB.   The
applicant failed to  provide  supporting  documents  that  he  took
action prior to the CSB to request assistance with  correcting  his
PRF.  The SR states that the administrative errors were brought  to
his attention during the member’s non-select counseling.

After review of the reaccomplished PRF, Section IV of the  PRF  did
not contain any new information which was not previously  known  to
the SR when creating the original PRF.  Based on the fact that  the
changes were available to the SR during his initial  write  of  the
PRF and the member did not have any material errors on his PRF,  or
the  PRF  process,  DPPPEP  determined  the  PRF  is  an   accurate
assessment of the applicant’s performance.

Additionally,  the  Chief,  Officer  Promotion,  Appointments   and
Selective Continuation Branch recommends denial of his request  for
SSB.

HQ AFPC/DPPPEP complete evaluation is at Exhibit C.

___________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

He refutes DPPPEP’s accusation that he is “attempting  to  recreate
history,” and thus  questioning  his  integrity  and  that  of  two
General Officers.  He is compelled to reinforce  the  integrity  of
his submitted  request  package  for  his  corrected  PRF  and  SSB
consideration.

He firmly believes his request stands on its own and  is  fortified
with his  SR  and  MLR  President’s  recommendations.   There  were
obvious errors in his original PRF in that his career was not fully
and accurately addressed.  When responding to his  package,  DPPPEP
neglected to recognize his entire  record  to  include  information
from his Defense Meritorious Service Medal (DMSM) citation and  the
manpower equation that was performed by his  SR’s  staff  receiving
his  endorsement/signature   along   with   the   MLR   President’s
endorsement/signature.

Applicant’s complete response, with attachments, 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 an error or injustice warranting consideration for
promotion to the grade of lieutenant colonel by SSB for  the  CY04B
Lieutenant Colonel Central Selection Board with a corrected PRF  in
his OSR.  The applicant contends the PRF  prepared  for  the  CY04B
promotion board does  not  accurately  capture  his  entire  career
accomplishments and recognitions.  The applicant’s Senior Rater has
provided a  corrected  PRF,  which  has  the  support  of  the  MLR
President.  Additionally, IAW AFI 36-2406, a member should  receive
his PRF about  30  days  prior  to  the  central  selection  board.
However, the applicant received his PRF just 12 days prior  to  the
promotion board.   In  view  of  the  above  and  to  preclude  any
possibility of an injustice to the applicant, we recommend that the
contested PRF be voided and replaced with the  corrected  PRF.   In
addition, we recommend that his corrected record be considered  for
promotion to the grade of lieutenant colonel by  Special  Selection
Board for the CY04B Lieutenant Colonel Central Selection Board.

4.  The applicant's case is adequately documented and  it  has  not
been shown that a personal appearance with or without counsel  will
materially add to  our  understanding  of  the  issue(s)  involved.
Therefore, the request for a hearing is not favorably considered.

___________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:

The pertinent military records of the Department of the  Air  Force
relating to APPLICANT, be corrected  to  show  that  the  Promotion
Recommendation Form (PRF), AF IMT 709, prepared  for  the  Calendar
Year 2004B (CY04B) Lieutenant Colonel Central Selection  Board  be,
and hereby is, declared void and removed from his records and  that
the corrected PRF, ending with, “…must send to SDE then SQ/CC!,” be
accepted for file in its place.

It is further recommended that he be considered  for  promotion  to
the grade of lieutenant colonel by a Special  Selection  Board  for
the  CY04B  Lieutenant  Colonel  Central  Selection   Board,   with
inclusion of the corrected PRF.
