RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2010-00272
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His records, to include the OPRs closing 22 Jul 08, and 16 May 94, be given
Special Selection Board (SSB) consideration for promotion to the grade of
colonel for the Calendar Year 2009C (CY09C) Line and Nonline Reserve
Colonel Participating Reserve Promotion Selection Board, which convened on
5 Oct 09.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His Officer Performance Report (OPR) closing out on 22 Jul 08, was not in
his Officer Selection Record (OSR), and the second page of his OPR closing
out on 16 May 94, was that of another officer.
In support of the request, the applicant provides a personal statement, and
extracts from his military personnel records.
The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant currently serves in the Reserves in the grade of lieutenant
colonel.
On 5 Oct 09, he was considered and nonselected for promotion to the grade
of colonel by the CY09C Line and Nonline Reserve Colonel Participating
Reserve Promotion Selection Board.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
ARPC/DPB recommends denial. DPB states, in part, the applicant’s record,
as reviewed by the CY09C promotion board, was complete and contains no
errors. After he was notified of his nonselection to the grade of colonel
by the selection board, he requested a copy of his OSR that was considered
by the board. However, he was provided a copy of the electronically stored
documents that comprise the data reviewed by a promotion board, Automated
Records Management System (ARMS), and not a copy of the OSR as seen by the
promotion board.
DPB indicates the documents viewed by the promotion board have board-
specific indicators stamped on the document to certify what was available
and viewed at the promotion board. The OPR is board stamped certifying
that it was the top document reviewed and all other documents below it were
also reviewed by that board. These stamps are not on the ARMS documents,
only on the documents within the OSR.
DPB states the documents included in the applicant’s package do not contain
any of these board identifiers, and are therefore, ARMS documents. One OPR
closing out on 22 Jul 08, is indeed missing from the ARMS file. However,
it was not missing from the OSR. The attached OPRs all contain the board
stamps from their respective promotion boards, and were copied from the
applicant’s OSR.
According to DPB, the OPR closing out on 16 Mar 94, is accurate in the OSR
and appears to be inaccurate within the ARMS file. The ARMS record has
been corrected.
The ARPC/DPB evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit B.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 22 Oct
10, for review and comment within 30 days. As of this date, no response
has been received by this office (Exhibit C).
_________________________________________________________________
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 office of primary
responsibility (OPR) and adopt its rationale as the basis for our
conclusion the applicant has not been the victim of error or injustice.
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 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 applicant was considered and nonselected for promotion to the grade of colonel by a Special Selection Board (SSB) for the FY01 and FY03 USAFR Line and NonLine Colonel’s Promotion Selection Boards. If a late OPR negatively impacts a selection board, HQ ARPC/DPB evaluates the record for SSB consideration, provided the officer requests a review of his/her selection record and an error (the late OPR) is established. DPB states that feedback and PRF preparation do not depend on an OPR being...
AF | BCMR | CY2006 | BC-2005-01320
Although the effective date of his promotion to lieutenant colonel was delayed to 11 Sep 01, his date of rank (DOR) was back-dated to 6 Jun 01, within the OPR reporting period. The applicant contends that his nonselection for promotion to colonel by the FY05 colonel selection board was due to the fact his record as it met the board, only contained one OPR reflecting service in the grade of lieutenant colonel. After careful review of the applicant's submission and the available evidence of...

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.

The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are contained in the letter prepared by the appropriate office of the Air Force at Exhibit C. _________________________________________________________________ AIR FORCE EVALUATION: HQ ARPC/DPB recommends denial. The applicant met each board on time as prescribed by 10 USC Sections 14303 and 14304 and AFI 36-2504, Officer Promotion, Continuation and Selective early Removal in the Reserve of the Air Force, Table 2.2. Based on...
Upon review of his Officer Selection Brief (OSB) and his Officer Selection Record (OSR) as it met the board, there were no errors shown. By such action, he would be ineligible for consideration by the FY02 Reserve Major Selection Board and would become a first-time eligible for the FY03 board. Exhibit D. Letter, SAF/MIBR, dated 14 Sep 01.
AF | BCMR | CY2012 | BC-2011-05086
Since the close out date of the applicant’s OPR is 15 Mar 07, which is the correct date for his OPR, they assume the applicant wants the signature dates of the OPR changed to dates earlier than 11 Jun 07, the convening date for the FY 08 Line and Nonline Lieutenant Colonel (Lt Col) Promotion Selection Board (V0508A), so the OPR will be available for this board, thereby allowing his record to meet a special selection board (SSB). ...
