RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
             AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2007-01887
            INDEX CODE:  131.00
      XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX  COUNSEL:  NONE
            HEARING DESIRED:  NO

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His 6 Sep 01 duty title entry be corrected  to  reflect  “ST,  KC-135  CMBT
EMPLOYMENT SCHL” on his Officer Selection Brief (OSB) and he be  considered
for promotion to the grade of lieutenant colonel  by  a  Special  Selection
Board (SSB) for the CY06C Lieutenant Colonel Central Selection Board (CSB).

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

The selection board’s ability to accurately assess his record was  hampered
due to a duty history omission for weapons school accomplishment.   Through
the years he has diligently maintained his records.

In support of his request, applicant provides a supporting letter from  his
former wing commander, a copy of his OSB and duty history information print-
out.

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

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The Military Personnel Data System (MilPDS) indicates the applicant’s Total
Active Federal Military Service Date as 21 Mar 93.  He is currently serving
on active duty in the grade of major, with a date of  rank  of  1  Apr  03.
MilPDS reflects his assignment history effective 6 Sep 01  as  “ST,  KC-135
CMBT EMPLOYMENT SCHL.”

He was considered and not selected for promotion to the grade of lieutenant
colonel by the CY06C lieutenant colonel CSB.

_________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPAO recommends the missing duty title be inserted in the  applicant’s
OSB.  DPAO advises that the duty title omission may have had a minor impact
on the boards’ awareness that  he  was  a  weapons  school  graduate.   The
AFPC/DPAO complete evaluation is at Exhibit C.

AFPC/DPPPO recommends denial.  DPPPO states  that  the  applicant  has  not
provided any documentation to show what action was taken prior to the board
to correct the error on his OSB.  The applicant did not exercise reasonable
diligence in ensuring his record was accurate prior to the CSB,  therefore,
DPPPO recommends the request for SSB be denied.   The  AFPC/DPPPO  complete
evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit D.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

Applicant indicates he is a near expert  maintainer  of  his  records.   He
personally initiated and closed five corrections  and  updates  which  were
very challenging due to the 500 days he was TDY.  He believes  his  omitted
duty history was a major factor towards his non-selection  as  compared  to
his peers.  He executed everything he could  to  insure  his  records  were
ready and through no fault of anyone, the system did not keep up  during  a
crucial evaluation point in his very successful  career.   The  applicant’s
complete letter, with attachments, is at Exhibit F.

_________________________________________________________________

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 injustice.  After reviewing the evidence of record, we  note
the applicant’s OSB did not reflect the 2001 “W” prefix of a weapons  school
graduate at the time the board convened;  however,  evidence  supports  that
his Education/Training Report and  subsequent  lines  in  his  duty  history
reflected the “W” prefix.  In view of this fact, the Board majority  is  not
persuaded that the absence of this information on his OSB caused his  record
to be so erroneous or misleading that the duly constituted selection  board,
vested with the authority to score  officer’s  records  for  promotion,  was
unable to reach  a  reasonable  decision  concerning  his  promotability  in
relation to his peers.  It is the Board majority’s  opinion,  based  on  the
facts of this case, that the  applicant  has  received  fair  and  equitable
consideration for  promotion  through  the  selection  board  process.   The
applicant has not provided any evidence to show he was  treated  differently
than other members in his same situation.   Therefore,  a  majority  of  the
Board agrees with the opinion and recommendation of the  Officer  Promotions
and Appointments Branch and adopts its rationale as the basis for the  Board
majority findings in the case.  Accordingly,  the  applicant’s  request  for
SSB consideration is not favorably considered.

_________________________________________________________________

RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD:

A majority of the Board finds insufficient evidence of  error  or  injustice
and recommends the application be denied.

_________________________________________________________________

    His two Air Medals (AM) were absent from his OSR. This action took five months to complete; not timely processing. However, noting the Air Force's assessment that the correct duty title was reflected on his OPR covering the contested period and therefore, available to the selection board members, and finding no persuasive evidence that this discrepancy in and of itself, caused his nonselection for promotion, we agree with the Air Force that SSB consideration was not warranted.

    The complete evaluation is at Exhibit C. AFPC/DPPPO recommends the AFBCMR grant SSB consideration with inclusion of the updated deployment history on his OSB and removal of the discrepancy report. Notwithstanding our recommendation above, we agree with AFPC/DPAOM6 that the applicant did attempt to correct his duty history and deployment history prior to meeting the Board, and therefore should be afforded SSB consideration with the corrected OSB. Therefore, the Board recommends that the...
