RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2006-02365
INDEX CODE: 111.01, 131.01
XXXXXXX COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
MANDATORY COMPLETION DATE: 12 FEBRUARY 2008
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
He be considered by a Special Selection Board (SSB) for promotion to the
grade of lieutenant colonel by the Calendar Year 2005A (CY05A) Selection
Board with inclusion of the Officer Performance Report (OPR) rendered for
the period of 17 June 2004 to 31 May 2005.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
When his records met the primary zone (IPZ) board for lieutenant colonel in
July 2005, his "on top" OPR was over 12 months old. His most recent OPR
from May 2005 did not become part of his recent record in time to be
considered by the promotion board. The absence of his most recent OPR had a
negative effect on his competitiveness for promotion.
In support of his application, applicant provided a copy of his OPR and
letters of support from his rating chain.
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant is currently serving on extended active duty in the grade of
major.
Applicant was considered and not selected for promotion to the grade of
lieutenant colonel by the CY05A and CY06A Lieutenant Colonel Central
Selection Boards.
The applicant's OPR that closed out on 31 May 2005 was not required to be
on file until 31 July 2005. Since many eligible officers fall into this
predicament, approving SSB consideration with a report not required be on
file would generate unfairness in the current promotion process.
Furthermore, although the applicant provides emails from his chain of
command stating they intended for the OPR to meet the board, the report was
not signed by the reviewer until 9 August 2005; thus, it would not have
been a matter of record for the board convening date of 6 July 2005.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPPO recommends denial and states the absence of the report was not
an error since this document was not required to be filed in his Officer
Selection Record (OSB) until 31 July 2005, after convening of the CY05A
board. The applicant alleges his 31 May 2005 OPR was missing from his
record when it met the CY05A board. However, officers being considered by
promotion boards have different closeout dates for their performance
reports. For this reason DPPPO relies on AFI 36-2406, para 3.8.5.6.,
Officer and Enlisted Evaluation Systems, which states that OPRs on EAD
officers are due at AFPC no later than 60 days following closeout of the
report.
AFPC/DPPPO complete evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 25
August 2006, for review and comment. As of this date, no response has been
received by this office.
_________________________________________________________________
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. After thoroughly reviewing the
applicant's complete submission, we are not persuaded that the applicant's
records warrant reconsideration by an SSB for promotion to the grade of
lieutenant colonel. In regard to the contested OPR closing out 31 May
2005, the Board is of the opinion that the report was not required to be on
file at the time the CY05A lieutenant colonel promotion board convened on 6
July 2005. Therefore, we agree with opinion and recommendation of the Air
Force office of primary responsibility and adopt its rationale as the basis
for the 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 in this
application.
_________________________________________________________________
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.

DPPPO states since the order for his decoration was published on 20 June 2005 and closeout date of the decoration is 30 June 2005 (both dates prior to convening of the board date), the citation should have been filed in his OSR and updated on his Officer Selection Brief (OSB). If the Board should grant the relief sought in its entirety, DPPPO recommends the date on the special order awarding the BSM be adjusted to a date prior to 6 July 2005, and subsequently the citation be filed in his...

In support of this application, applicant provided a personal statement, letter from AFPC/DPPPOC, and AFBCMR Directive BC-2005-03010. Had he met and been selected for promotion by the CY05A lieutenant colonel CSB, his DOR as a lieutenant colonel would have been 1 May 2006. Unless his corrected CY06C lieutenant colonel CSB “as met board” record is used for an SSB, it would be impossible/unjust to recreate a record without circumventing the relief provided by the Secretary of the Air Force...
