RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
             AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2007-03165
            INDEX CODE: 111.01
      XXXXXXX    COUNSEL: NONE
            HEARING DESIRED: NO

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

1.  His Officer Performance Report (OPR) rendered for the period 14  Feb  05
through 13 Feb 06, be replaced with a reaccomplished report.

2.  His Promotion Recommendation form (PRF) prepared for the  Calendar  Year
2007A (CY07A) Central Colonel Selection Board, be replaced  with  a  revised
PRF.

3.  His corrected records be  considered  for  promotion  to  the  grade  of
colonel by a Special Selection Board (SSB).

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

His senior rater was advised by an AFPC counselor  that  the  last  line  in
Block VI of his 2006 OPR did not  specifically  and  accurately  distinguish
his position within his organization.  He has replaced the  last  line  with
comments that accurately states the exact position he held in  the  Services
organization.   The  corrected  PRF  incorporates  data  included   in   the
corrected OPR.

In support of his request, applicant provided a copy of  the  corrected  OPR
and PRF, a statement from  his  senior  rater,  and  a  statement  from  the
Management Level Review (MLR)  President.   His  complete  submission,  with
attachments, is at Exhibit A.

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

On 17 Aug 07, applicant submitted  an  AFBCMR  application  requesting  that
corrections be made to the Duty History section  of  the  Officer  Selection
Brief (OSB) prepared  for  the  CY07A  selection  board.   The  errors  were
administratively corrected and he is scheduled to be considered  by  an  SSB
on 14 Jan 08, with the corrected OSB.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSIDEP recommends  denial.   DPSIDEP  states  the  applicant  has  not
provided convincing documentation that there was an error  or  injustice  in
his  record.   He  failed  to  provide  clear  evidence  that  the  original
evaluation is unjust or wrong.  The rater admits that  the  statement  "X---
is  my  one-person  force  multiplier"  was  in   his   opinion   a   strong
stratification and that he did not think the board members  would  interpret
the words as anything less than a high stratification  comment.   The  rater
or anyone else cannot get into the minds of the promotion board  members  so
no one  can  determine  how  this  stratification  was  interpreted  by  the
selection board members.  The applicant's nonselection for promotion  should
not be the basis for correcting  a  stratification  statement  made  by  the
rater who believes the statement was a strong stratification.   Raters  have
the responsibility of assessing and documenting  what  the  ratee  did,  how
well he or she did it, and  the  ratee's  potential  based  on  performance,
which is exactly what was done.  To now go back and change a  stratification
based on someone else's opinion does not  make  the  report  inaccurate  and
does not constitute an error or injustice.

The applicant also provided no compelling documentation  that  his  PRF  was
inaccurate.  The basis to change the PRF was the change to  the  OPR.   This
change has not occurred.  The Evaluation Reports Appeals  Board  denied  his
request and the BCMR has yet to make a determination.  He is  attempting  to
use the BCMR  to  include  additional  information  on  the  PRF  which  was
previously known to the senior rater and could have been included  prior  to
the promotion board.  There is no basis for this request.

The complete DPSIDEP evaluation is at Exhibit C.

AFPC/DPSOO based on the recommendation by DPSIDEP to  deny  his  request  to
substitute his OPR and PRF, recommends denial for SSB consideration.

The complete DPSOO evaluation is at Exhibit D.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

Applicant responded reiterating that  the  contested  OPR  did  not  clearly
reflect his senior rater's stratification and overall  assessment.   If  the
revised OPR is accepted, then his PRF requires correction  since  statements
from the revised OPR were not included in the original PRF.  The  exclusions
occurred due to numerous mitigating factors such  his  current  short-notice
deployment, MLR timing and his previous supervisor's short notice  permanent
change of station, all happening simultaneously.  Inclusion of  the  revised
documents will allow a more fair assessment of his promotion potential.

His complete response 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  error  or  injustice.   We  took  notice  of  the  applicant's
complete submission in judging the merits of the  case;  however,  we  agree
with the opinions and recommendations of the Air Force  offices  of  primary
responsibility and adopt their rationale as the  basis  for  our  conclusion
that the applicant has not  been  the  victim  of  either  an  error  or  an
injustice.   Therefore,  in  the  absence  of  persuasive  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.
