RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-02057
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: YES
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
He receive Special Selection Board (SSB) consideration for
promotion to the grade of major by the CY10D Major Central
Selection Board (CSB) and be allowed to submit a letter to the
board.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His leadership noted that because his record reflects he went
from Flight Commander to E-3 Navigator, it could potentially hurt
his promotion chances. His record looks like he was fired or
demoted in responsibility, when he was not. If he were allowed
to write a letter to the board, it would give him an opportunity
to explain the circumstances surrounding his situation.
Additionally, he would like to explain his brief attendance to
Squadron Officer School (SOS) in-residence due to being
administratively recalled and then relocated. The Ops tempo and
long-term immediate family medical issues complicated his ability
to attend SOS. He believes these two main areas cost him
promotion at the CY10D Major CSB.
In support of his request, the applicant provides a copy of
AF IMT 973, Request and Authorization for Change of
Administrative Orders.
His complete submission, with attachment, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant is currently serving on active duty in the grade of
captain (0-3). He has one non-selection to the grade of major by
the CY10D CSB.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOO recommends denial. DPSOO states the applicant has one
non-selection to the grade of major. The results of the original
P0410D board were based on a complete review of his record,
assessing whole person factors such as job performance,
professional qualities, depth and breadth of experience,
leadership, and education. DPSOO acknowledges that although he
was qualified for promotion, in the boards judgment he was not
the best qualified of other eligible officers competing for the
limited number of promotion vacancies. DPSOO finds no evidence
to show the applicants non-selection for promotion to major was
a result of a material error or injustice. Additionally, he had
the opportunity to write a letter prior to the board convening,
but he chose not to do so until after his non-selection for
promotion.
The DPSOO complete evaluation is at Exhibit B.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The applicant responds by reiterating his original contentions;
however, he points out that he was on his sixth deployment when
the Promotion Recommendation Forms (PRFs) were handed out. He
received his PRF via e-mail communications, but did not receive
an Officer Preselection Brief (OPB) or instructions on how to
write a letter to the board if he had chosen to do so. His data
verification brief (DVB) was in order and his leadership told him
he stood a good chance at promotion despite his lack of having a
few checked boxes. He believed his joint credit would bridge
that gap. He was instructed to review his OPB; however, the
instructions on how to access the OPB was met with dead ends and
bad information from his home station to AFPC. In light of his
non-selection and some points made by senior leadership, he now
believes a letter would have been extremely helpful in explaining
the apparent regression in his duty history and extenuating
circumstances behind the lack of in-residence SOS.
_________________________________________________________________
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 error or injustice. We have
reviewed the available evidence pertaining to the applicants
assertions regarding the opportunity to write a letter to the
board and we are not persuaded that corrective action is
warranted. His contentions in this regard are duly noted;
however, we find no evidence of an error in this case and we are
not persuaded by his assertions that he has been the victim of an
injustice. While we note the applicants many deployments, it
does not appear he has been treated any differently than other
officers similarly situated. Consequently, we agree with the
opinion and recommendation of the Air Force 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. Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the
contrary, we find no basis to recommend granting the relief
sought in this application.
4. 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 involved.
Therefore, the request for a hearing is not favorably considered.
_________________________________________________________________
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.
