RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS

         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2007-01844
            INDEX CODE:  131.01, 107.00
            COUNSEL:  NONE

            HEARING DESIRED:  YES

MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE:  26 APR 2008

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

He be given Special Selection Board (SSB) consideration for the Calendar
Year 2006C (CY06C) Lieutenant Colonel  Central  Selection  Board  (CSB),
with a corrected Officer Selection Brief (OSB) included in  his  Officer
Selection Record (OSR).

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

The duty history listed on his OSB was incorrect and prevented him  from
receiving fair consideration by the CY06C Lieutenant  Colonel  CSB.   He
discovered the error in 2006  and  made  multiple  attempts  to  get  it
corrected prior to the board convening.

In support of his request, the applicant submitted a statement from  the
355th  Mission  Support  Squadron  Deputy  Commander  stating  how   the
applicant attempted to get errors in his record corrected and lends  his
support for the applicant to receive an SSB.

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.

On 28 November 2006, he was considered and nonselected for promotion  by
the CY06C Lieutenant Colonel CSB.

_________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPAO recommends the incorrect duty title be  replaced  with  HH-60G
Instructor pilot/Assistant Director of Operations,” based on his Officer
Performance Report (OPR) for that  period.   DPAO  further  states  they
defer to DPPPO for SSB consideration.

The DPAO evaluation is at Exhibit C.

AFPC/DPPPO recommends denial.   DPPPO  states  in  part,  after  careful
review  of  his  application  that   office   does   not   believe   the
administrative error in the second half of his 1 July 2006 duty title on
his OSB caused his nonselection for promotion.  HQ AFPC/DPAO, Operations
Assignments Division, provided an advisory stating that  the  correct  1
July 2006 duty title is HH-60G Instructor  Pilot/Assistant  Director  of
Operations,  not  Assistant  Operations  Officer  as  alleged   by   the
applicant.  The applicant’s respective OPR and Promotion  Recommendation
Form (PRF)  contained  the  correct  duty  title  as  HH-60G  Instructor
pilot/Assistant Director of Operations, which the board members reviewed
and took into consideration in evaluating his  record.   Correcting  the
second part of the duty title from Assistant ADO as reflected on the OSB
to ADO does not introduce any  new  information  that  was  not  already
considered by the board members.  The  military  Personnel  Data  System
reflects the corrected duty title as HH-60G Instructor Pilot/ADO.

The DPPPO complete evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit D.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

The applicant states that despite several attempts to  correct  his  OSB
prior to his primary selection board on 28 November  2006,  his  records
met the board with an error as reflected on his application.

Although AFPC/DPPPO  acknowledges  this  error,  they  have  recommended
denying his request for SSB consideration with a corrected  OSB.   Their
justification is that the correct duty title could be found elsewhere in
his OPR  and  thus  does  not  introduce  new  information  not  already
considered by the board member.  Several senior officers in his chain of
command have sat on promotion boards and they have advised him  to  seek
SSB consideration.  They commented that promotion boards rely heavily on
the duty history reflected on the OSB and board members do not have time
to review all the duty titles on the OPRs.  Based on their  feedback  he
feels this error could easily have negatively impacted his consideration
for promotion.  Given the uncertain
nature of what the promotion board focused  on  to  determine  his  duty
history, he respectfully requests favorable consideration in meeting  an
SSB.

The applicant’s complete response, with attachments, is at Exhibit E.

_________________________________________________________________

1.  The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing law or
regulations.

2.  The application was timely filed.

3.  Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the
existence of error or injustice in regards to the applicant’s  request
that his OSR be corrected to reflect a corrected duty title and he  be
given SSB consideration.  The  Board  notes  the  applicant’s  Officer
Selection Brief (OSB) did not reflect the correct duty title  of  “HH-
60G Instructor Pilot/Assistant Director Operations at the time he  was
considered for promotion by the CY06C Major Central  Selection  Board.
While  it  cannot  be  conclusively  determined  whether  or  not  the
incorrect  duty  title  was  the  sole  reason  for  the   applicant’s
nonselection for promotion by the Board in  question,  we  do  believe
that it served to deprive him of fair and equitable consideration.  In
view of the above and in order to resolve any injustice  in  favor  of
the applicant, we recommend that  his  records  be  corrected  to  the
extent indicated below.

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 RECOMMENDS THAT:

The pertinent military records of  the  Department  of  the  Air  Force
relating to APPLICANT, be corrected to show that the Officer  Selection
Brief (OSB) prepared for the Calendar Year  2006C,  Lieutenant  Colonel
Central Selection Board be, and hereby is, amended  in  the  Assignment
History section, by changing the  Duty  Title  effective  1 July  2006,
“HH60G INSTRUCTOR PILOT/ASST ADO” to “HH60G INSTRUCTOR PILOT/ADO”.

It is further directed that his record, to include the above  corrected
OSB, reflecting the correct duty title be considered for  promotion  to
the grade of lieutenant colonel by a Special Selection  Board  for  the
Calendar Year 2006C Lieutenant Colonel Central Selection Board and  for
any subsequent boards in which the corrected Assignment History was not
a matter of record.
