RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2009-00726 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

He be considered for promotion by a Special Selection Board (SSB) 
for the Calendar Year 2008 (CY08B) Lieutenant Colonel Central 
Selection Board (CSB) with his Meritorious Service Medal (MSM), 
First Oak Leaf Cluster (1OLC) included in his record. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

A similar appeal was considered and denied by the Board on 23 Jun 
09. For an accounting of the facts and circumstances surrounding 
the rationale of the earlier decision by the Board, see the 
Record of Proceedings at Exhibit D. 

 

Applicant’s record met the CY08B Lt Col CSB, and he was not 
selected for promotion. The MSM (1OLC) awarded for the period 
8 Jul 05 through 28 Jul 08 was not signed and entered into his 
record until 18 Nov 08. 

 

On 17 Sep 09, the applicant submitted a request for 
reconsideration and provided a letter of support from his then 
vice commander. 

 

The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit E. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT: 

 

After again reviewing this application and the evidence provided 
in support of his appeal, we are persuaded the applicant’s 
request for SSB should be granted. We note the processing of the 
decoration was in accordance with Air Force policy and was not 
required to be filed in his records prior to the CY08B CSB. 
However, in view of the vice commander’s statement, it appears it 
was his intent to have the MSM in the applicant’s official record 
prior to the convening of the promotion board, but extenuating 
operations requirements prevented it. As such, the applicant was 
not considered for promotion with the Officer Selection Record 
intended by his chain of command. Therefore, in order to provide 
the applicant fair and equitable relief and to preclude any 


possibility of an injustice, his records should 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: 

 

 a. The Meritorious Service Medal (First Oak Leaf Cluster), 
with inclusive dates of 8 July 2005 through 28 July 2008, was 
approved on 7 September 2008, rather than 18 November 2008; and 
was accepted for file in his Officer Selection Record on 
8 September 2008. 

 

 b. It is further directed that the corrected record be 
considered for promotion to the grade of lieutenant colonel by a 
Special Selection Board for the Calendar Year 2008B (CY08B) 
Lieutenant Colonel Central Selection Board.

    DPPPO states since the order for his decoration was published on 20 June 2005 and closeout date of the decoration is 30 June 2005 (both dates prior to convening of the board date), the citation should have been filed in his OSR and updated on his Officer Selection Brief (OSB).

    An MSM covering three years of his service, to include his successful squadron commander tour, was processed late and narrowly missed being part of his “as met” record for the CY07A Colonel CSB. When several senior officers reviewed his record after the board, their number one observation was that the biggest detractor in his record was the lack of an MSM for his command tour. The applicant provided a DÉCOR 6, dated 20 March 2007, as additional evidence that his leadership intended the MSM...
