RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
             AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2007-03525
            INDEX CODE:
      XXXXXXXXXXXXXX   COUNSEL: NONE
            HEARING DESIRED: YES

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

He be considered by a Special Selection Board (SSB)  for  retention  by  the
Fiscal Year 2007 (FY07) Reduction In Force (RIF) Board.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

Conflicting guidance and the Military Personnel Flight's failure  to  notify
him of change in guidance for filling out the Retention Recommendation  Form
(RRF) led to a weak RRF as compared to his  peers.   His  Officer  Selection
Brief (OSB) did not list his Air  and  Space  Basic  Course  (ASBC)  in  the
Developmental  Education  section.   His  records  did   not   reflect   his
Acquisition Certification and language skills, as all are reflected  in  the
virtual MPF (vMPF).  In addition, applicant states the citation for his  Air
Force Commendation Medal (AFCM) first oak leaf cluster  (1OLC)  was  missing
from his selection folder.

In  support  of  his  request,  applicant  provided  a  personal  statement,
documentation extracted from the vMPF, email communiqué,  and  documentation
extracted from his military personnel  records.   His  complete  submission,
with attachments, is at Exhibit A

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

Applicant is currently serving on active duty in the grade of  captain.   He
was considered and not selected for retention by the FY07 RIF board.

_________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATIONS:

AFPC/DPSIDEP recommends  denial.   Regarding  his  contention  that  he  was
provided conflicting guidance  and  was  not  notified  of  policy  changes,
DPSIDEP states that in support of  his  request  he  provided  documentation
that applies only to those eligible for the 2007 Force  Shaping  Board,  not
for those, including himself, in the RIF board.   These  are  two  different
programs.  His RRF was prepared in accordance with  the  proper  guidelines.
The AFPC/DPSIDEP complete evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit C.

AFPC/DPSOO recommends denial.  DPSOO states  written  instructions  attached
to his Officer Preselection Brief (OPB) specifically states that only  Basic
Developmental Education (BDE) and Intermediate Development  Education  (IDE)
will  be  reflected  in  the  Developmental  Education  Block  on  the  OSB.
Therefore, his Developmental Education Block on his OSB was not in error.

His AFCM (1OLC) was awarded in 2004, the applicant had ample time to  ensure
the citation was filed in his record.  He was directed to request a copy  of
his OSB in the OPB instructions in order to ensure his record  was  correct.
It is the officer's responsibility to ensure the  accuracy  of  his  record,
had he checked his OSR prior to the RIF board, he  would  have  noticed  the
missing citation and taken corrective action at that time.   The  board  was
knowledgeable of the existence of the AFCM as it was reflected  on  his  OSB
and  the  achievements  noted  in  the  citation  were  mentioned   in   the
corresponding performance reports.

DPSOO states he was notified of his right  to  communicate  with  the  board
president to  call  attention  to  any  matter  he  felt  important  to  his
consideration.  As such he  had  the  opportunity  to  write  to  the  board
members informing them of his certification and  language  skills  prior  to
the RIF board, not after his nonselection.

The AFPC/DPSOO complete evaluation, with attachment, is at Exhibit D.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATIONS:

      Applicant provided a response to the Air Force  evaluations  which  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.  After a thorough review  of  the  evidence
of record and the applicant’s submission, it is our opinion that  relief  is
not warranted in this case and  the  applicant  has  not  provided  evidence
which would lead us to believe otherwise.  His contentions are  duly  noted;
however, in our opinion the comments provided  by  the  offices  of  primary
responsibility adequately address his allegations.   Therefore,  we  are  in
agreement with their comments and recommendations and adopt their  rationale
as the basis for our decision that the applicant has not been the victim  of
either an error or injustice.  Accordingly, we believe the RIF board had  at
its disposal a sufficiently accurate record on which to base  its  decision.
In view of the above, we find no basis  to  recommend  granting  the  relief
sought in this application.

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.
