RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
             AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2007-01656
            INDEX CODE:  131.00
            COUNSEL:  NONE

            HEARING DESIRED:  YES

MANDATORY COMPLETION DATE:  27 NOVEMBER 2008

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His Retention Recommendation Form (RRF), AF IMT 3538, be  corrected  and  he
be granted supplemental retention consideration.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

Applicant provides a summary of items he  feels  were  not  included  and/or
incorrect on his RRF.  In addition, he provides supporting  statements  from
individuals (not within his rating chain).

In support of the application, the applicant submits a copy of his RRF,  two
affidavits, copies of award certificates, a copy of a citation,  and  copies
of two letters of appreciation.

The applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

Information extracted from  the  Military  Personnel  Data  System  (MilPDS)
indicates that the applicant is a second lieutenant with a date of  rank  of
8 Jul 06.  He is assigned  duties  as  a  Simulation  Engineer.   His  total
active federal military service date (TAFSMD) is 1  Sep  04.   His  date  of
separation is 5 Sep 07.

The applicant’s record was considered and he was not selected for  retention
by the CY 07 Force Shaping Board (FSB) which convened on 12 Mar 07.

The remaining 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 at Exhibit C.

_________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

HQ  AFPC/DPPRF  recommends  denial.   DPPRF  states  records  for   officers
considered by the Force Shaping Board include an RRF written  by  the  first
Colonel or GS-15 in the member’s  chain  of  command  and  endorsed  by  the
Senior Rater.  The RRF contains  nine  lines  of  narrative  comments.   The
space on the form is limited and it is  not  usually  possible  to  describe
every achievement in an officer’s career.  The  first  evaluator  bears  the
responsibility of selecting what accomplishments to include in the RRF.

DPPRF notes the applicant was provided a copy of his  RRF  approximately  56
days prior to the Force Shaping Board  convening  date.   Eligible  officers
were advised per MPFM 06-82, 2007 Officer Force Shaping  Board,  6  Nov  06,
Atch  6,  to  carefully  review  the  RRF  and  address  any   concerns   or
discrepancies through their Military Personnel  Flight,  chain  of  command,
and Senior Rater.  Senior raters were provided  the  opportunity  to  revise
the RRF through the “stop file” process prior to the board convening date.

DPPRF explains in order to  appeal  an  RRF,  applicants  must  offer  clear
evidence  that  the  original  evaluation  was  “an  unjust  or   inaccurate
assessment of [the member’s] potential for continued  service.”   To  change
narrative comments on the RRF, an applicant must have  the  support  of  the
evaluators who  signed  the  form.   Although  the  applicant  has  provided
affidavits and letters of recognition detailing his accomplishments, he  has
provided no evidence to show  that  his  RRF  is  an  unjust  or  inaccurate
assessment and does not have  concurrence  by  his  first  evaluator  and/or
Senior Rater.

DPPRF concludes officers are provided the opportunity to write a  letter  to
the board regarding information they believe  warrants  consideration.   The
applicant submitted such a letter with attachments to the board.

The complete DPPRF evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit C.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 15  Jun
07 for review and comment within 30 days.  As of this date, this office  has
received no response (Exhibit D).

_________________________________________________________________

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 probable error or injustice.  The applicant’s  contentions  are
duly noted; however,  other  than  his  own  assertions,  we  have  seen  no
evidence by the applicant that would lead us to  believe  that  he  was  not
properly considered for retention during the time in question  or  that  his
RRF reviewed by the Force Shaping Board was  in  error.   In  addition,  the
supporting documentation provided by the applicant was from individuals  not
in  his  rating  chain.   Therefore,  we  agree   with   the   opinion   and
recommendation of HQ AFPC/DPPRF and adopt their rationale as the  basis  for
our decision to deny the applicant's request.

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 issues involved.   Therefore,  the  request  for  a
hearing is not favorably considered.

_________________________________________________________________

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.

HQ AFPC/JA recommends the applicant’s nonselection for retention by the 6 June 2006 FSB be set aside and that she be considered by a special FSB selection board utilizing a corrected RRF. However, the majority of the Board believes that thorough and fitting relief in this case would be to correct her records to show that she was selected for retention by the 10 Apr 06 FSB, and to reinstate her to active duty.
