RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2010-04491
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
1. His PhD Degree be added to his Officer Selection Brief (OSB)
for the P0510A Lieutenant Colonel (Lt Col) Central Selection
Board (CSB).
2. The noncompletion PhD Degree comments on the AF IMT 475, Education/Training Report (TR) rendered for the period 13 Sep 04
to 13 Jun 06, be removed and he be given special selection board
(SSB) consideration by the P0510A Lt Col CSB.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
1. Both his as-met single unit retrieval format (SURF) and his
final TR from the Air Force Institute of Technologhy (AFIT)
dated 6 Jun 06, did not accurately reflect the completion of his
AF-sponsored AFIT PhD program. Although an attempt was made to
update his record via letter prior to the CSB convening on
8 Mar 10, it is unclear that a correlation between the letter as
written and the adverse TR in his records could have been
deduced.
2. On 4 Mar 10, all AFIT PhD requirements were satisfied which
obviated the AFIT PhD incomplete documented on the TR in his
records. His current SURF reflects his current Advanced
Academic Degree (AAD) status.
In support of his request, the applicant provides copies of his
as-met SURF andTR, letter to the board, dissertation signature
page and his current SURF.
The applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant is currently serving in the Regular Air Force in
the grade of major, having assumed that grade effective and with
a date of rank of 1 Apr 06.
The applicant submitted two DD Forms 149, Application for
Correction of Military Record Under the Provisions of Title 10,
US Code, Section 1552.
The applicant was considered but not selected for promotion to
Lt Col by the CY10A Lt Col CSB, which convened on 8 Mar 10.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSID does not provide a recommendation. DPSID states the
applicants TR contains no error, is in compliance with AFI 36-
2406, Officer and Enlisted Evaluation Systems, and has been
included in the applicants permanent record.
The complete DPSID evaluation is at Exhibit C.
AFPC/DPSOO recommends denial of the applicants request to add
his PhD Degree to the P0510A OSB and remove the PhD Degree
noncompletion comments on his 3 Aug 06 TR, and subsequent SSB
consideration. DPSOO states the Superintendent, Student
Services and Academic Coding, provided an email stating that
AFIT students must wait for the official conferral of the
degree. The earliest the applicant could claim the degree would
have been 23 Mar 10, when the faculty council met to recommend
conferral of the degrees.
Completion of the requirements for a degree are irrelevant for
an AFIT student, they must wait for the graduation date as
nothing is official until that day. The date awarded entry in
the Military Personnel Data System (MilPDS) is the date the
degrees are conferred and not the day requirements are
completed. As such, the applicants PhD Degree was not
reflected on his OSB.
The applicant chose to inform the board of his requirements for
completion of his PhD and that he would be graduating on 25 Mar
10. Therefore, the board members were aware that he had
completed his dissertation and the requirements for the PhD
Degree.
Furthermore, the completion of a PhD Degree is not a requirement
for promotion to Lt Col. The Secretary of the Air Forces
Memorandum of Instructions (MOI) recited to the P0510A board
members specifically instructs them not to consider
academics/Professional Military Education (PME) as a pass-fail
requirement.
The complete DPSOO evaluation is at Exhibit D.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the
applicant on 6 May 11, for review and comment within 30 days
(Exhibit E). 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 Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to
demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice. After
reviewing the evidence of record, we are not persuaded the
applicants records are erroneous or unjust. The applicants
contentions are noted; however, in our opinion, the detailed
comments provided by the appropriate Air Force offices of
primary responsibility have adequately addressed those
allegations. Therefore, we agree with the opinions and
recommendations of the Air Force offices of primary
responsibility and adopt their rationale as the basis for our
conclusion the applicant has not been the victim of an error or
injustice. In the absence of persuasive 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 that the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of an 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.
