AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

 

 
DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2012-01958 
 
COUNSEL:  NONE 
 
HEARING DESIRED:  NO 

IN THE MATTER OF: 
   
   
   
   
 
________________________________________________________________ 
 
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:  
 
The Air Force Commendation Medal (AFCM) recently awarded by the 
Air  Force  Board  for  Correction  of  Military  Records  (AFBCMR)  be 
considered  by  a  Special  Selection  Board  (SSB)  for  the  Calendar 
Year 2011 (CY11D) Major Selection Board. 
 
________________________________________________________________ 
 
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 
 
He was recently awarded an AFCM for meritorious service for the 
2003 to 2006 time frame through the AFBCMR.  The award was not 
added  to  his  records  until  after  the  promotion  board  met  in 
November  2011.    Not  having  this  award  in  his  records  had  a 
direct  impact  on  the  board  members  evaluation  and  resulted  in 
his non-selection for promotion.   
 
In  support  of  his  appeal,  the  applicant  provides  a  copy  AFBCMR 
Record of Proceeding, Directive and the AFCM.   
 
The  applicant’s  complete  submission,  with  attachments,  is  at 
Exhibit A. 
 
________________________________________________________________ 
 
STATEMENT OF FACTS: 
 
The  applicant  is  a  captain  in  the  Regular  Air  Force.    On 
23 January  2012,  the  AFBCMR  approved  his  request  to  award  him 
the  AFCM  for  meritorious  service  from  4  September  2003  to 
3 September  2006.    The  AFCM  was  accomplished  and  signed  on 
24 February 2012.   
 
________________________________________________________________ 
 
AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 
 
ARPC/DPSOO  defers  recommendation  to  the  Board.    The  applicant 
has one non-selection to the grade of major by the CY11D Major 
Board.   
 

 

 

The applicant now requests SSB consideration with the inclusion 
of  the  recently  awarded  AFCM  in  his  Officer  Selection  Record 
(OSR).    However,  because  the  Given  Under  My  Hand  date  on  the 
citation  reflects  24  February  2012,  it  cannot  be  filed  in  his 
OSR for the board that convened on 5 December 2011.   
 
If  the  AFBCMR  approves  changing  the  date  on  the  citation,  then 
DPSOO  recommends  SSB  consideration  with  the  inclusion  of  the 
AFCM citation in his OSR and annotated on his Officer Selection 
Brief. 
 
The complete DPSOO evaluation is at Exhibit B. 
 
________________________________________________________________ 
 
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 
 
He thanks the Board for reviewing his case.  In his talks with 
his  Air  Force  Personnel  Counselor,  she  cites  the  missing 
citation as a major reason for his low scored promotion package.  
He asks the Board provide a letter to DPSOO stating this award 
be added to his promotion package thus granting the SSB.  
 
The applicant’s response, with attachments, is at 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  injustice  to  warrant  relief.  
Based  on  the  previous  Board’s  recommendation  to  award  the 
applicant the AFCM and the fact that the award would have been 
considered  in  the  applicant’s  selection  record  had  it  been 
properly awarded in 2006, we believe the AFCM should be a matter 
of  record  before  the  CY  2011D  Major  Central  Selection  Board.  
Therefore,  we  recommend  that  his  records  be  corrected  to  the 
extent 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 Air Force Commendation Medal with inclusive dates of 
4 September 2003 to 3 September 2006, was approved on 1 December 

 

 
2 

2011, rather than 24 February 2012; and was accepted for file in 
his Officer Selection Record on 2 December 2011. 
 
 
b.  It  is  further  directed  that  the  corrected  record  be 
considered  for  promotion  to  the  grade  of  major  by  a  Special 
Selection  Board  for  the  Calendar  Year  2011D  (P0411D)  Major 
Central Selection Board.
