RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF:
________________________________________________________________
THE APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
She be considered for promotion by a Special Board (SB) for the
Calendar Year 2012 (CY12) Air Force Reserve Major Position
Vacancy (PV) Promotion Selection Board.
________________________________________________________________
THE APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
Her promotion recommendation form (PRF) was not submitted by the
submission deadline due to an administrative error; as a result,
her record was not considered for promotion. This correction
will allow her PRF to be considered for PV promotion.
In support of her appeal, the applicant provides a copy of the
missing PRF.
The applicant’s complete submission, with attachment, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The relevant facts pertaining to this application are contained
in the letter prepared by the appropriate office of the Air
Force.
________________________________________________________________
THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
ARPC/DPB recommends denial since the CY12 Air Force Reserve
Major Position Vacancy (PV) Promotion Selection Board (U0412A)
has already adjourned. In addition, they note, if a complete
nomination package is received, her record can be evaluated for
retroactive PV eligibility.
They provided the following analysis on this package:
The PRF is the nominating vehicle for an officer to meet a
PV board. All PRFs for the U0412A board were due to HQ ARPC not
later than 9 Dec 11 (ARPCM 11-32, 2 Sep 11, atch 2). The
applicant's PRF was received on 4 Jan 12--well after the
suspense date. HQ ARPC contacted the individual noted as
"counsel" on the application, explained the process for
nomination, the missed suspense date, and what the organization
and officer could do to request consideration for a special
board (SB). If, and when, a complete nomination package (to
include a PRF with a position number indicated) is received at
ARPC, the request for SB will be evaluated, and the officer's
eligibility for PV consideration will be reviewed.
On examination of the PRF, a key factor for the PV nomination is
missing: the position number for which the officer is nominated.
The nominated officer must occupy (as an incumbent) a specific,
higher graded, and fully funded position that must also be
funded for 1 year after the board from the PRF suspense date.
Absent the position number, they cannot verify the officer
occupies a higher graded position, nor can they verify the
position is funded for one year. Additionally, there is nothing
in the applicant's package to demonstrate what position she
occupied on 9 Dec 11, the PRF suspense date. Absent that, they
cannot begin to establish retroactive eligibility.
The complete ARPC/DPB evaluation, with attachments is at
Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant on 1 March 2012 for review and response. As of this
date, no response has been received by this office (Exhibit D).
________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
1. The applicant has not 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 an error or injustice. The
applicant has not provided evidence of actions on her part to
obtain the relief she seeks through the proper administrative
channels. The AFBCMR process is not intended as a substitute
for the utilization of proper established administrative
channels. We note that the Air Force office of primary
responsibility has explained the steps the applicant should
take to request consideration for promotion by a special board.
As pointed out by the Air Force OPR, the applicant should
complete a nomination package to ARPC, to include a PRF with a
2
position number and her request for a SB will be evaluated, and
her eligibility for PV consideration will be reviewed. Until
such time as she has exhausted all available administrative
remedies, as noted above, we find no basis to recommend granting
the relief requested.
________________________________________________________________
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.

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.
