RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-02198
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Change the effective dates of award for his Air Force
Commendation Medal (AFCM 3rdOLC) and Meritorious Service Medal
(MSM) to a date prior to 31 January 2011.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The AFCM and MSM were awarded for periods of service ending
20 December 2010 and 31 December 2010, respectively. While each
award recommendation was submitted in a timely manner, receipt
of the award was delayed through no fault of his or his assigned
unit. He believes the delay of these awards adversely affected
the results of his 31 January 2011 promotion vacancy board.
In support of his request, the applicant submits a copy of the
AFCM award citation dated 28 February 2011, and Special Order
(SO) G-008873, dated 9 March 2011, awarding the MSM.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
According to his military personnel record, the applicant is
currently serving as a USAF Reserve officer in the grade of
Captain (O-3) with an effective date of rank of 22 February
2006. He has a Total Active Federal Military Service Date
(TAFMSD) of 4 July 1998 and a Total Federal Commissioned Service
Date (TFCSD) of 22 February 2002.
The applicant was considered but not selected for promotion by
the CY11 USAFR Major Position Vacancy Promotion Board.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
ARPC/DPB recommends denial. DPB states awards and decorations
are just one part of the whole person concept. No one item in
an officers selection record determines promotion or non-
selection for promotion. Therefore they recommend denial of the
applicants request.
The complete ARPC/DPB evaluation is at exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant on 10 November 2011 for review and comment within 30
days. As of this date, no response has been received by this
office.
________________________________________________________________
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 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 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.
________________________________________________________________
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.

In view of this, and since the Reserve Officer Personnel Management Act does not provide ARPC the authority to hold Special Selection Boards (SSBs) for PV promotion boards, we recommend his records, to include the MSM citation, be considered for promotion to the...
