RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2006-03707
INDEX CODE: 131.01, 107.00
xxxxxxxxxxxxx COUNSEL: MR. MANEY
HEARING DESIRED: YES
MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE: 7 JUN 2008
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
He receive direct promotion to the grade of colonel by the CY04A Colonel
Central Selection Board (CSB).
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He believes his nonselecction to colonel could have been a result of a
possible error in the Board room. He believes the promotion board
placed his record in the wrong stack after it was scored.
In support of his request, the applicant submitted a personal statement
and excerpts from his military personal records.
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant was commissioned a second lieutenant in the Regular Air
Force on 17 May 1977, and was progressively promoted to the grade of
lieutenant colonel.
He was nonselected to the grade on colonel by the CY04A, CY05B and the
CY06A Colonel Central Selection Boards (CSBs). He retired in the grade
of lieutenant colonel on 1 January 2007.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPO recommends denial and states in part, the applicant believes
since his non-select counseling found no indicators that would have led
to a non-selection, he was puzzled by the findings and could not help
but to think that an anomaly had occurred. However, insufficient
relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the existence of an
error or injustice. The results on the original CSB were based on a
complete review of the applicant’s entire selection record documenting
over 15 years of service, assessing whole person factors such as job
performance, professional qualities, depth and breadth of experience,
leadership, and education. Although the officer may be qualified for
promotion, he may not be the best qualified of other eligible officers
competing for the limited number of promotion vacancies in the judgment
of a selection board vested with discretionary authority to make such
selections. Furthermore, to grant a direct promotion would be unfair to
all other officers who have extremely competitive records but did not
get promoted.
The DPPPO complete evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The applicant states in part, he and Col M__________were both puzzled by
his non-selection to colonel and his non-select records review was
conducted. Colonel M_______could not understand how a record like his
could not have been promoted. It’s common understanding that getting a
Definite Promote (DP) above-the-zone is near to impossible as it
normally comes at the expense of potentially not promoting a deserving
officer in-the-zone. Speculation aside, it cannot be dismissed that he
has a promotable record that was overlooked as confirmed by a credible
records reviewer subject matter expert.
The 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. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the
existence of an error or injustice. After a thorough review of the
evidence of record and the documentation provided, we are not persuaded
the applicant was denied the opportunity to compete successfully for
promotion on a fair and equitable basis. Therefore, 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 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.

The time to question a PRF is when the PRF is presented to the officer, and the officer has a 30-day window in which to address the content of the PRF with the senior rater. The total record of performance is reviewed by a microcosm of officers from across the Air Force who rank the officer against others from across the entire Air Force, and while this rater may be impressed with his performance, it may not stack-up when compared to other lieutenant colonels in the Air Force. Furthermore,...
