RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2008-00482
INDEX CODE: 131.10
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His non-selection to major be removed from his records and not counted as
one of his two promotion opportunities.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His non-selection for promotion to major in Feb 07 is in error. A major
component of his officer selection record for the FY08 Line and Health
Professions Major (Participating) Promotion Selection Board was his officer
performance report (OPR) with the 31 Oct 06 close-out date. His then
deployed supervisor reportedly refused to sign the OPR despite requests
from his acting replacement. By the time a change of reporting official
(CRO) action was accomplished, the promotion board had convened and non-
selected him.
The required signatures for the OPR were not accomplished until Aug 07
(nine months late and six months past the promotion board).
In support of his request, the applicant provided a copy of his OPR closing
out 31 Oct 06.
The applicant's complete submission, with attachment, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant was considered and non-selected by the FY08 Line and Health
Professions Major (Participating) Promotion Selection Board which convened
on 12 Feb 07.
His OPR which closed-out 31 Oct 06 was not received for file into his
officer selection record (OSR) until 10 Sep 07.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ ARPC/DPB recommends denial of the applicant’s request for the non-
selection to “not count.” The applicant did compete for promotion;
however, his record was incomplete at the time of the board. DPB
recommends the signature dates of the OPR for the rater, additional rater,
and reviewer be changed to 27 Jan 07, 28 Jan 07, and 29 Jan 07,
respectively. Once the signature dates are corrected to reflect dates
prior to the promotion board, the applicant will be entitled to special
selection board (SSB) consideration in lieu of the FY08 Major Promotion
Selection Board. DPB states they will award SSB based on the correction of
the signature dates on the OPR.
The complete HQ ARPC/DPB evaluation is at Exhibit B.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 7 Mar
08 for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit C). As of this date,
this office has not received a response.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
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. The OPR was required to be on file no
later than 29 Jan 07, 90 days after the close-out of the report but was not
filed until 10 Sep 07. We find that through no fault of the applicant, his
record was incomplete when he was considered by the FY08 Line and Health
Professions Major (Participating) Promotion Selection Board, which
convened on 12 Feb 07. Therefore, to preclude any further injustice to the
applicant, we concur with the recommendation of the office of primary
responsibility and adopt its rationale as the basis for our decision.
Accordingly, we recommend the applicant’s records be corrected as indicated
below.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:
The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force relating
to APPLICANT, be corrected to show that the Company Grade Officer
Performance Report (2Lt thru Capt), AF IMT 707B, rendered for the period 1
November 2005 through 31 October 2006, was signed by the rater in Section
VI on 27 January 2007, the additional rater in Section VII on 28 January
2007, and the reviewer in Section VIII on 29 January 2007.
It is further recommended that he be considered for promotion to the grade
of major by a Special Selection Board (SSB) for the Fiscal Year 2008 (FY08)
Line and Health Professions Major (Participating) Promotion Selection
Board.

He be considered for promotion to the grade of lieutenant colonel by the U0508A board by a Special Selection Board (SSB). His OPR did not make it to file prior to the convening of the promotion board; therefore, his record was incomplete and unjustly portrayed his career performance and accomplishments.
