RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2010-04007
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
THE APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
He be promoted to the rank of lieutenant colonel.
________________________________________________________________
THE APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His promotion to lieutenant colonel, as verified by his former
medical service flight commander, never caught up with him;
however, he did in fact promote him. He enlisted in the
Missouri Air National Guard (MOANG) and served for over 33 years
as a pharmacist.
In support of his appeal, the applicant provides a personal
statement; a copy of a letter from his former commander, and a
chronological record of service.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Based on the available records, the applicant was considered for
promotion by the Fiscal Year 1973 (FY73) Lieutenant Colonel
Promotion Board, which convened on 24 Apr 72. He was notified
of his non-selection and pending consideration by the next
promotion board. He was subsequently considered by the FY74
Lieutenant Colonel Promotion Board, which convened on 9 Apr 73.
He received a letter notifying him of his second non-selection
and his pending discharge. His discharge order was effective
31 Dec 73.
________________________________________________________________
THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
ARPC/DPB recommends denial, stating, in part, the applicant met
and was non-selected by two promotion boards. No evidence
exists to indicate the applicant was promoted above the grade of
major.
The complete ARPC/DPB evaluation, with attachments, is at
Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The applicant reiterates his original contentions that his
former commander recommended his promotion prior to his
discharge.
In support of his response, he provides a personal statement and
a copy of one of his Officer Effectiveness Report (OER).
The applicants complete response, with attachments, is at
Exhibit E.
________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by
existing law or regulations.
2. The application was not timely filed; however, it is in the
interest of justice to excuse the failure to timely file.
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; however, we agree with the opinion and recommendation
of the Air Force Reserve office of primary responsibility and
adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion that the
applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice. In
our view the evidence of record and the documentation submitted
by the applicant is insufficient to substantiate the applicants
claim that he was recommended for and promoted to the grade of
lieutenant colonel. Therefore, in the absence of evidence to
the contrary, we find no basis to recommend granting the relief
sought in this application.
________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; the
application was denied without a personal appearance; and the
application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of
newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this
application.

OPRs are considered “late” if they are not received and filed in the OSR 90 days after the closeout date. The applicant’s Promotion Recommendation Form (PRF) was present in his record. We note that the applicant’s OPR closing 30 Apr 02 was not required to be on file when the applicant was considered for promotion by the FY03 Line and Health Professions Lieutenant Colonel Position Vacancy Selection Board, which convened on 24 Jun 02.
_________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: His personnel record did not contain his OPR closing 31 May 00 and was not a matter of record to compliment his promotion recommendation. In support of his appeal, the applicant provided copies of his OPR closing 31 May 00 and his Promotion Recommendation Form (PRF). Applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.

Since 1990, the applicant has successfully been promoted to the grade of captain (where the missing OPR would have been the second OPR from the top) and to major (the missing OPR would have been the seventh from the top). According to ARPC/DPB, selection boards must use the “whole person” concept to arrive at a decision for promotability of any officer.

DPB states that the applicant’s OSB in fact, did show the points he had accrued over the previous two-year period. DPB states that there appears to be no errors in the applicant’s record and therefore no grounds exist for appealing his non-selection. Although the applicant contends that the selection board did not see earned participation points during the periods 1999 through 2000 and 2000 through 2001 the available evidence indicates that the opposite is true and that the selection board...
