 RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

 AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-04368 

 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 

 HEARING DESIRED: YES 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

THE APPLICANT REQUESTS: 

 

Her Officer Performance Report (OPR) for the period of 
10 May 2010 through 9 May 2011 be included as part of the “As 
Met” record for consideration for promotion to the grade of 
Colonel by a Special Selection Board (SSB) for the calendar year 
(CY) 2011 Colonel, Central Selection Board (CSB). 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

THE APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

Her OPR was submitted to the executive staff for routing on 
4 May 2011. Information reflected on her Promotion 
Recommendation Form (PRF) referenced the 9 May 2011 OPR. The 
board convened on 6 June 2011. The evaluators signed and 
finalized the report on 11 June 2011. Since the OPR was not 
submitted to AFPC until after the board convened, 
“unsubstantiated” material appeared on her PRF. Her OPR was not 
intentionally withheld from the board. 

 

In support of her appeal, the applicant provides a copy of an 
email and a statement from her former additional rater. 

 

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

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

The applicant is currently serving in the Regular Air Force in 
the grade of Lieutenant Colonel with Effective Date and Date of 
Rank of 1 May 2005. 

 


The applicant has one non-selection to the grade of Colonel by 
the CY 2011 Colonel CSB. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

 

 

 

 

THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFPC/DPSID recommends denial. DPSID states although the OPR 
closed out on 9 May 2011, in accordance with (IAW) AFI 36-2406, Officer and Enlisted Evaluation System, Table 3.6, Note 1a, the 
report was not required to be in the applicant’s record until 
60 days after the close-out date, 9 July 2011. There are other 
officers in comparable circumstances where the close-out date is 
similar; however, unless the OPR is processed with all 
signatures, it cannot be placed into the member’s record. To 
allow the OPR to be included after the board convenes would 
allow the applicant an advantage not afforded other officers. 

 

The complete AFPC/DPSID evaluation is at Exhibit C. 

 

AFPC/DPSOO recommends denial. Their recommendation to deny SSB 
consideration is based on DPSID’s memorandum stating the absence 
of the report was not an error because it was not required to be 
filed in the applicant’s Officer Selection Record (OSR) until 
9 July 2011, after the board convened. 

 

The complete AFPC/DPSOO evaluation is at Exhibit D. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the 
applicant on 1 March 2012 for review and comment within 30 days 
(Exhibit E). To date, this office has not received a 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 to warrant 
approval of the applicant’s requests. 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 offices of primary responsibility and adopt their 
rationale as the basis for our conclusion that the applicant has 
not been the victim of an error or injustice regarding the 
inclusion of her OPR closing 9 May 2011 in her OSR. 
Additionally, we note the applicant’s contention that because 
the OPR was not a matter of record for the CY11A Colonel CSB, it 
caused unsubstantiated material to be reflected on her PRF; 
however, we note that applicable Air Force policy does not 
restrict a senior rater to only commenting on issues documented 
in performance reports. 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(s) 
involved. Therefore, the request for a hearing is not favorably 
considered. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT: 

 

The applicant be notified the evidence presented did not 
demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; the 
application was denied without a personal appearance; and the 
application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of 
newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this 
application.

    Additionally, the applicant filed another request to the ERAB on 19 October 2010 requesting the CY2009C PRF be removed and he be provided SSB consideration. The new PRF resurrects the same performance comments from the voided OPR and resulted in the same effect as if the original OPR and PRF were never removed. The senior rater used the PRF to make an end-run around the OPR process after the ERAB decision to void the evaluator’s original referral OPR and PRF.
