ADDENDUM TO
RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-04145
COUNSEL:  NONE
HEARING DESIRED:  YES

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

1.  His Primary Air Force Specialty Code (PAFSC) of 95A0 (USAF 
Admissions Liaison Officer) be changed to reflect 17D3 (Cyber 
Operations).

2.  He be given supplemental promotion consideration to the grade of 
Lieutenant Colonel (Lt Col, 0-5) for cycles V0510B in 2010 and 
V0511B in 2011.

3.  His Promotion Recommendation Forms (PRF) for the promotion 
boards referenced above, be re-accomplished by his senior rater with 
a consideration of changing the overall recommendation to Definitely 
Promote (DP).

________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

On 21 Jun 2012, the Board considered and denied a similar appeal.  
For an accounting of the facts and circumstances surrounding the 
applicant’s request and the rationale of the earlier decision by the 
Board, see the Record of Proceedings at Exhibit I (with Exhibits A 
through H).

In an undated letter, the applicant submitted a request for 
reconsideration.  He states that the new evidence he provides 
directly supports the core of his argument and was obtained through 
a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request.  In the request, he 
asked the Air Force to clarify the use of Reporting Identifier (RI) 
95AO as an officer's PAFSC.  The Air Force Military Classification 
Development Branch (AFPC/DPSIDC), stated that RI 95AO cannot be 
assigned as an officer's PAFSC.  Therefore the Officer Selection 
Briefs (OSB) considered by the promotion boards had a negative 
impact on his promotion opportunities.  Air Force Board for 
Correction of Military Records (AFBCMR) case, Docket Number BC-2002-
02848 had similar facts wherein the PAFSC was not correct and 
negatively impacted the officer's promotion.

In support of his appeal, the applicant provides a personal 
statement, copies of a FOIA response, electronic communiqués, U.S. 
District Court Opinion and AFBCMR Docket Number BC-2002-02848.

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

________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

1.  After again reviewing this application along with the additional 
documentation provided in support of his appeal, we do not believe 
the applicant’s PRFs should be changed.  We note the applicant’s 
PAFSC was incorrectly listed on his officer selection brief when his 
records met the CY10 and CY11 Line and Health Professions Lt Col 
Promotion Boards.  However, as previously pointed out by ARPC/DPB in 
their memorandum dated 4 May 2012, when requesting a change or 
correction to a PRF, new PRFs signed by the senior rater of record 
when the original PRFs were prepared and a memorandum explaining why 
the PRFs are in error is required.  Additionally, if applicable, the 
memorandum should also explain why the senior rater believes the 
applicant’s promotion recommendations should be changed from promote 
to definitely promote. Should the applicant provide this information 
we would be willing to reconsider his request. In view of the above 
and in the absence of evidence to the contrary we find no basis to 
recommend grating this portion of the applicant’s request.

2.  Notwithstanding the above, sufficient relevant evidence has been 
presented to demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice to 
warrant partial relief.  In this respect, we note the applicant has 
provided additional information from the Air Force Office of Primary 
Responsibility (OPR) that corroborates his assertions that RI 95AO 
should not be assigned as his PAFSC.  Therefore, we recommend his 
PAFSC be changed as requested.  The applicant also asserts, in 
essence, that based on the error with his PAFSC that his appeal is 
similar to AFBCMR BC-2002-02848 and that relief is warranted using 
the same rationale for an SSB.  We agree.  While it cannot be stated 
with certainty the error with the applicant’s PAFSC caused his 
nonselections for promotion, we believe any uncertainty regarding 
the effect of this error should be resolved through the SSB process.  
Therefore, to avoid the appearance the applicant did not receive 
fair and equitable promotion consideration with a complete and 
correct record we recommend his records be corrected to the extent 
indicated below.

3.  The applicant's case is adequately documented and it has not 
been shown that a personal appearance with or without counsel will 
materially add to our understanding of the issue(s) involved.  
Therefore, the request for a hearing is not favorably considered.

________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:

The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force 
relating to APPLICANT, be corrected to show that the Officer 
Selection Brief viewed by the Calendar Year 2010 (CY10) Line and 
Health Professions Lt Col Promotion Selection Board (V0510B) and the 
CYll Line and Health Professions Lt Col Promotion Selection Board 
(V0511B) be corrected under the AFSC Data to change the PAFSC from 
“95AO” to “17D3.” 

It is further recommended that he be considered for promotion to the 
grade of Lt Col by a Special Selection Board for the CY10 Line and 
Health Professions Lt Col Promotion Selection Board (V0510B) and the 
CYll Line and Health Professions Lt Col Promotion Selection Board 
(V0511B) and any subsequent boards in which the corrections were not 
a matter of record.
