RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2008-04080
INDEX CODE: 131.01
XXXXXXX COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
___________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
He be granted Special Selection Board (SSB) consideration for the
Calendar Year 2008A (CY08A) (P0608A) Colonel Central Selection
Board (CSB), with inclusion of a new letter to the promotion board.
___________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He wrote a letter to the CY08A CSB to inform them that he had been
approved at the Air Force level for joint service credit under the
new Joint Qualification System (JQS). The letter was required
because the joint credit was not yet documented in his performance
records. However, his letter did not indicate the level of joint
service credit he received. During his non-selection counseling,
it was noted that the level of joint credit was very important and
might have made a difference in the promotion board’s decision. He
has provided a new letter which indicates the level of joint credit
he should receive.
In support of his appeal, the applicant submits a copy of his
previous letter to the CSB, dated 5 May 08; his new letter to the
CSB, dated 28 Oct 08, and other supporting documents extracted from
his military personnel records.
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
___________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant is currently serving in the grade of lieutenant
colonel, with an effective date and date of rank of 1 Nov 03.
He was considered and nonselected by the CY08A (12 May 08) Colonel
CSB.

___________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ AFPC/DPSOO recommends denial, noting the applicant’s contention
that his original letter did not indicate the level of joint staff
credit he would receive from his joint duty assignment (25 Jun 00 –
30 Jun 02). However, his Officer Performance Reports (OPRs)
closing 24 Jun 01 and 1 Jun 02, respectively, and his Meritorious
Service Medal (MSM), Second Oak Leaf Cluster (2OLC), citation
alludes to his time as an exchange officer on the Canadian Forces,
which is equivalent to a Chairman, Joint Chief of Staff (CJCS)
Joint Staff assignment. Therefore, substituting the letter would
not introduce any new information not already considered by the
board.
The results of the original P0508A CSB were based on a complete
review of the applicant’s entire selection record, assessing the
whole person factors such as job performance, professional
qualities, depth and breadth of experience, leadership, and
education. Although, the applicant was qualified for promotion, he
was not the best qualified of other eligible officers competing for
the limited number of promotion vacancies in the judgment of a
selection board vested with discretionary authority to make such
selections.
The HQ AFPC/DPSOO complete evaluation is at Exhibit C.
___________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant
on 9 Jan 09 for review and comment within 30 days. As of this
date, no response has been received by this office (Exhibit D).
___________________________________________________________________
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 and his contentions are duly noted. However, in our view,
HQ AFPC/DPSOO has adequately addressed the issues presented by the
applicant and we are in agreement with its opinion and
recommendation. Therefore, we adopt the rationale expressed as the
basis for our decision the applicant has failed to sustain his
burden of having suffered either an error or injustice. 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.

The amended decoration was approved on 24 Sep 08, after the 12 May 08 convening board date, and cannot be filed in her Officer Selection Record (OSR) for the CY08A CSB. The special order date, which authorizes the decoration, is the same as the “Given Under My Hand” date. By having the MSM in her promotion record, the promotion board would have seen that although she did not receive a definitely promote, the MSM, 2OLC would have projected that she continued to demonstrate outstanding performance.

Applicant was considered but not selected for promotion to the grade of colonel by the CY05A colonel CSB. This decoration is not listed among the decorations in MPFM 05-14 and therefore, inclusion of this citation is not authorized to be filed in the applicant’s OSR nor reflected in his Officer Selection Brief (OSB). The only way to ensure the board members were aware the applicant received this decoration would have been to write a letter to the board president.
