RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2006-01819
INDEX CODE: 111.00
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: YES
MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE: 18 DEC 07
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
1. Her current OPR be reviewed.
2. She receives recognition for her completion of Squadron Officer
School (SOS).
3. Her initial packet to the promotion board be retracted.
4. Her discharge orders for early removal selection be reversed.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
Her military package for the initial promotion board review should have
been pulled by her supervisor as she had not been in the Air Force Reserves
with enough time to have an Officer Performance Report (OPR), completed
SOS, or be appropriately advised of the requirements for selection to the
grade of major. She was not made aware of the promotion board that was
held in March 2006; nor was her MEPS information current. She states her
last evaluation report in her record is from March 2004, when she was in
the Army. She further states she completed SOS in March 2006.
In support of her request, the applicant provided documentation extracted
from her military personnel records.
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The relevant facts pertaining to this application, extracted from the
applicant's military records, are contained in the letter prepared by the
appropriate office of the Air Force (Exhibit C).
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
ARPC/DPB recommends denial. DPB states although the applicant alleges her
military packet for initial promotion board review should have been pulled
by her supervisor, the applicant’s supervisor has no authority to remove
her name from the promotion eligibility list.
The applicant states “MEPS information was not current,” DPB is unable to
determine what MEPS stands for or if it was even applicable to the
promotion process since no documentation was provided.
The applicant states she completed SOS in March 2006, DPB is unable to
verify her completion. The transcript she provided is for a course that is
not a part of the SOS course material. To date, SOS completion has not
been updated in her record.
The applicant states she was not aware she was meeting the FY07 Major
Selection Board that convened on 6 March 2006 (delayed from original 6
February). However, unfamiliarity with the law doesn’t eliminate the
requirement to meet the board. Additionally, AFI 36-2504, 1.7, states
eligible officers monitor their own eligibility and ensure selection record
is correct and up to date before the convening of the board. The applicant
has a mandatory separation date based on a second deferral for promotion,
not under early removal selection. The applicant was not eligible for
continuation consideration based on the manning of her Air Force Specialty
Code 46N.
The DPB complete evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The applicant reviewed the evaluation and provided additional documentation
in support of her appeal, which 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. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the
existence of an error or injustice. Evidence has not been presented which
would lead us to believe that the regulations in effect at the time were
not appropriately applied or that she was treated differently than others
in similar situations. The Board notes the applicant’s supervisor has no
authority to remove her name from the promotion eligibility list when she
is eligible for promotion. The applicant met the FY07 Major Selection
Board with a complete record and was not selected. Therefore, she has a
mandatory separation date of 1 November 2006 based on a second deferral for
promotion. We further note, in accordance with the student administration
office, it appears the applicant has not completed SOS to date.
Accordingly, we agree with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force
office of primary responsibility and adopt its rationale as the basis for
our conclusion that the applicant has not been the victim of an error or
injustice. In the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no
compelling basis to recommend granting the relief sought.
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 DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified the evidence presented did not demonstrate the
existence of an error or an injustice; the application was denied without a
personal appearance; and the application will only be reconsidered upon the
submission of newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this
application.
