RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2006-01736
INDEX CODE: 100.00
XXXXXXX COUNSEL: NONE
XXXXXXX HEARING DESIRED: NO
MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE: 5 December 2007
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
The Air Force Commendation Medal (AFCM) awarded for the period 14 January
2003 to 22 February 2006, be placed in his Officer Selection Record (OSR)
for the Special Board scheduled to convene on 26 June 2006 to reconsider
him for the Calendar Year 2006 (CY06) Force Shaping Board (FSB).
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
Due to an administrative processing error, the AFCM was not approved until
19 April 2006. As a result of this error, his records, as they met the
CY06 FSB, did not show that he had received a decoration for his last
Permanent Change of Station (PCS). The accomplishments for which he was
awarded the decoration occurred well before the CY06 FSB and should have
been reviewed as part of the whole person concept.
In support of the appeal, applicant submits a copy of the special orders
and citation to accompany award of the AFCM.
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant is currently serving on active duty in the grade of first
lieutenant. On 6 July 2005, a Recommendation for Decoration Printout (RDP)
was prepared on the applicant. He was considered and not selected for
retention by the CY06 FSB that convened on 10 April 2006. On 19 April
2006, he was awarded the AFCM, for meritorious service during the period
14 January 2003 to 22 February 2006.
Due to an anomaly with some records during the CY06 FSB, 192 of the
lieutenants who were not selected for retention will have their records
reconsidered by a special board scheduled to convene 26 June 2006.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPPO recommends the application be denied and states, in part, that
the absence of the decoration is not an error since the orders awarding it
were not published until after the CY06 FSB convened. Thus, it did not
exist when the CY06 FSB convened. Further, there are no accomplishments
listed in the AFCM citation that are not reflected in the four OPRs that
were available for the FSB’s review.
The AFPC/DPPPO evaluation is at Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
Contrary to the comments of the OPR that the AFCM did not provide any
additional information to the FSB that was not already in his record, the
FSB was not aware of the fact that he had been recommended for the AFCM.
In further support of the appeal, applicant provides the first endorsement
of Major General Zamzow, Director of Air, Space, and Information
Operations, who concurs with his rebuttal comments.
Applicant’s complete response, with attachment, 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. After thoroughly reviewing the evidence of record and noting the
applicant’s contentions, we are not persuaded that sufficient relevant
evidence has been presented to demonstrate the existence of error or
injustice. In this respect, we note the orders awarding the applicant the
AFCM were not published until 9 days after the FSB convened. As such, the
decoration did not exist prior to that date and could not be filed in his
records prior to the FSB. The senior officer’s concurrence with the
applicant’s rebuttal comments is duly noted; however, this individual
provides no explanation as to why the decoration was not processed and
approved prior to the FSB. Therefore, in the absence of evidence the
applicant’s chain of command intended to process the decoration in time for
the FSB, but the processing of the decoration was delayed, 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.
