RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-01409
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NOT INDICATED
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her records, to include an Officer Selection Brief reflecting the
Air Force Commendation Medal (AFCM) awarded for the period
13 September 2008 to 1 July 2011 and the Certificate and Citation
to accompany award of the AFCM, be considered for promotion to
the grade of captain by a Special Selection Board (SSB) for the
Calendar Year 2011C (CY2011C) (11 Jul 11) Captain Central
Selection Board (CSB).
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The AFCM was intended to be awarded to her before her permanent
change of station (PCS). She did not receive the decoration due
to a poor tracking process.
In support of her request, the applicant submits a letter of
support from the wing commander stating he accepts full
responsibility for awarding the AFCM so late, she also submits
copies of her AFCM and OSB.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Information extracted from the Military Personnel Data System
(MilPDS) indicates the applicant is currently serving on active
duty in the grade of captain.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOO recommends denial of the applicants request for an
SSB.
DPSOO determined the AFCM was processed within the guidelines of
AFI 36-2808, The Air Force Awards and Decorations Programs, which
states that decoration recommendations are entered into official
channels within 2 yeas and awarded within 3 years of the act,
achievement, or service performed. The decoration award
authority announces its final decision once the special order
number is assigned to the citation. The applicants AFCM was
awarded on 2 Dec 11, more than four months after the CY11C
convened; therefore, the citation could not have been filed in
her officer selection record (OSR), reflected in any official
personnel data systems or appeared on her OSB when the board
convened on 11 Jul 11.
The complete DPSOO evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant
on 30 May 12, for review and comment within 30 days. As of this
date, this office has received no response (Exhibit D).
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing
law or regulations.
2. The application was timely filed.
3. Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to
demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice warranting
relief. We note the office of primary responsibility (OPR)
recommends denial stating the AFCM was processed within the
guidelines of AFI 36-2803. However, the applicant provided a
letter of support from her former Wing Commander stating it was
his intention to award the decoration to the applicant prior to
her departure in July 2011. Moreover, he states that he accepts
full responsibility for not awarding it in time to meet the CSB.
In view of this statement, it is our opinion the evidence
presented is sufficient to recommend her records be corrected to
show that the AFCM was accepted for file prior to the convening
of the board and that she receive SSB consideration. Therefore,
in the interest of justice, we recommend her records be corrected
as indicated below.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:
The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force
relating to APPLICANT, be corrected to show that:
a. The citation for award of the Air Force Commendation
Medal, awarded for the period of 13 September 2008 to 1 July
2011, "GIVEN UNDER MY HAND" date be changed to reflect 8 July
2011, rather than 2 December 2011.
b. The Air Force Commendation Medal was accepted for file
in her Officer Selection Record on 9 July 2011.
It is further recommended that the corrected record, to include
the above corrections, be considered for promotion to the grade
of captain by a Special Selection Board (SSB) for the CY011C
Captain Central Selection Board.
