RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-02902
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NOT INDICATED
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
She be reconsidered for promotion to the grade of major (0-4) by
the Calendar Year 2011 (CY11) Line and Health Professions Major
Promotion Vacancy (PV) Special Selection Board (SSB).
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
She was eligible for PV promotion consideration and her commander
nominated her; however, due to an administrative error by the
military personnel section, her Promotion Recommendation Form
(PRF) was not forwarded to the wing commander for his
consideration/signature. She feels her chances of being selected
were favorable based on her duty performance, education, and
training.
In support of her request, the applicant provides copies of
letters of support.
Her complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Effective 22 Aug 11, the applicant was transferred to the Retired
Reserve awaiting pay at age 60 in the grade of captain (0-3).
The CY11 Line and Health Professions Major PV Selection Board
convened on 31 Jan 11. The applicant was eligible, but not
nominated for promotion consideration.
Additional remaining relevant facts pertaining to this
application are contained in the letter prepared by the
appropriate office of the Air Force, which is at Exhibit B.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
ARPC/DPB recommends denial. The applicant did not provide a
written and signed PRF by her senior rater to support her PV
nomination. Additionally, the letters of support do not address
specifically what occurred and what remedies are in place to
prevent this error from recurring. A letter from the individual
responsible for processing the PRF would have better explained
the error in this case. DPB notes that only a Special Board (SB)
can be requested or granted in lieu of a PV promotion
opportunity.
The complete ARPC/DPB evaluation is at Exhibit B.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant
on 16 Dec 11 for review and comment within 30 days. As of this
date, this office has received no 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 error or injustice. In this
respect, we note the letters of support provided by the
applicant, to include her senior rater; however, the senior rater
did not provide a written and signed PRF, supporting her
nomination for a promotion vacancy. As such, we agree with the
opinion and recommendation of the Reserve of the Air Force
Selection Board Secretariat 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.

In this regard, we noted the statement from the applicant’s flight commander to HQ ARPC, which the senior rater concurred with, indicating that the applicant’s position vacancy promotion recommendation form (PV PRF) package was completed in a timely manner, but for several reasons was not processed by the published suspense date, resulting in the applicant being denied an opportunity for promotion consideration. ___________________________________________________________________ THE BOARD...

DPB states, the applicant did not meet the requirement of occupying the nominated position on the PRF submission date, or before the board convened. In reference to #3(b), the letter states the PRF submission was 9 Dec 11. After thoroughly reviewing the evidence of record and the applicant’s complete submission, we do not find the evidence presented sufficiently persuasive to recommend Special Board consideration.
