             AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2008-01790
            INDEX CODE:  131.03
            COUNSEL:  NONE
            HEARING DESIRED:  NO

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

1.  His Officer Selection Brief (OSB) assignment history  entries  effective
1 Jun 98, be corrected to reflect his duty title entry as MAJCOM instead  of
WING/BASE and his assignment history effective 20 Jan 00,  be  corrected  to
reflect SUPPORT SQ NO BAY instead of SPECIAL TRAINING SQ HILL.

2.  He be considered by a Special Selection Board  (SSB)  for  promotion  to
Lieutenant Colonel (Lt Col) by  the  Calendar  Year  2004B  (CY04B)  Lt  Col
Central Selection Board (CSB).

_________________________________________________________________

THE APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He held a staff agency position which is listed on his OSB  as  a  wing/base
level job.  When he questioned this at the time, he was told  by  AFPC  that
it was designated a non-staff job due to a  mandate  to  reduce  staff  jobs
across the  Air  Force.   He  believes  this  action  to  be  unethical  and
detrimental.  The  unit  mission  description  on  his  Officer  Performance
Reports (OPRs) clearly state "MAJCOM Staff Agency reporting to  HQ  ACC/XO."
This discrepancy was pointed out to him during his non-selection  counseling
on 6 May 08.  He did not receive credit for an overseas assignment  although
he attempted to correct it multiple times at his MPF.

In support of his request, the applicant provides a copy of his  OSB,  email
communiqué and copies of his OPRs for the period ending 5 May 99 and 15  Jan
00.

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

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPAOM6 agrees that the applicant was assigned to a staff  billet  while
at Tinker AFB, OK (1 Jun 98).  His records should reflect the duty level  of
MAJCOM as opposed to wing/base.  This is supported by his OPRs dated 20  May
99 and 7 Mar 00.  DPAOM6 also agrees that the applicant served  overseas  at
North Bay, Canada as opposed  to  Hill  AFB  as  listed  on  his  OSB.   The
AFPC/DPAOM6 complete evaluation is at Exhibit B.

AFPC/DPSOO recommends denial.  DPSOO states that although the  location  for
his duty title entry effective 20 Jan 00 shows him at Hill  AFB  instead  of
North Bay, the data in the Overseas Duty History Section on his  P0504B  OSB
clearly reflects his overseas assignment in Canada.  Additionally, his  OPRs
closing 15 Jan 01 and 15 Jan 02 clearly reflect his overseas  assignment  at
North Bay, Canada; and the 5 May 99 and 15 Jan 00 OPRs  showed  the  correct
command level of "MAJCOM."  As such, states DPSOO, the  board  members  were
aware of his overseas assignment and the level of command for his 1  Jun  98
duty  title  entry.   Correcting  the  OSB  would  not  introduce  any   new
information not already considered by  the  original  board.   The  complete
AFPC/DPPPO evaluation, with attachment, is at Exhibit C.

APPLICANT’S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

Copies of the Air Force evaluations were sent to the applicant on  29  Aug
08 for review and comment within 30 days.  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.  After reviewing the  evidence  of  record,
we are persuaded that favorable consideration of the applicant’s request  is
warranted.   Based  on  the  review  and  verification  by  the   Operations
Assignment Division that the correct duty level for the 1 Jun 98 duty  title
entry was MAJCOM and that the location for the 20 Jan 00  duty  title  entry
was NO BAY instead of  Hill,  we  believe  the  applicant’s  OSB  should  be
corrected.  We believe the applicant was diligent in  ensuring  his  records
were correct and through no fault of his own; his record  was  incorrect  at
the time he was considered by the CY04 Lt Col CSB.  Therefore, in  order  to
afford the applicant full and complete relief and to resolve  any  doubt  in
this matter, his corrected record should be referred to a Special  Selection
Board.

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:

The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air  Force  relating
to APPLICANT be corrected  to  show  that  the  entries  pertaining  to  his
“Assignment  History”  on  the  Officer  Selection   Brief,   prepared   for
consideration  by  the  Calendar  Year  2007B  Lieutenant  Colonel   Central
Selection Board, be amended to reflect that the command level for  his  duty
title  entry  effective  1  June  1998  be  changed  to  "MAJCOM"  and   the
organization for his duty title entry effective 20 January 2000  be  changed
to "SUPPORT SQ NO BAY."

It is further recommended  that  the  corrected  record  be  considered  for
promotion to the grade of lieutenant colonel by a  Special  Selection  Board
(SSB) for the CY04B Lieutenant Colonel Central Selection Board.
