RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-02484
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: YES
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His record, to include the fact that he completed Professional
Military Education (PME), be considered for promotion by a
Special Selection Board (SSB) for the Calendar Year (CY)
2012 USAFR Line and Nonline Participating Reserve Major
Promotion Selection Board.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
In Jan 2012, his package was submitted to the board; however,
the final PME test was not completed due to a hardship involving
his civilian employer.
In Jan 2012, he submitted a letter to the board; however, it was
received after the deadline.
The lack of PME is the sole reason for his nonselection to major
(Maj, O-4).
In support of his request, the applicant provides copies of his
Squadron Officer School (SOS) completion record and test score
reporting sheets.
The applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
According to ARPC/CV, the applicant was considered, but not
selected by the CY 20ll and the CY 2012 USAFR Line and Nonline
Participating Reserve Major Promotion Selection Boards which
convened on 31 Jan 2011 and 23 Jan 2012, respectively. His
mandatory separation date was 1 Oct 2012.
According to Reserve Order CB-95, dated 18 Sep 2012, the
applicant was honorably discharged from all appointments in the
U.S. Air Force effective 1 Oct 2012.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
ARPC/CV recommends denial. CV states that completion of PME is
never the sole determining factor for promotion. The objective
of the Reserve promotion process is to promote fully qualified
officers to serve in the next higher grade based on past
performance and future potential. Performance, participation,
professional qualities, job responsibility, leadership, specific
achievements and education, are factors taken into consideration
during the board review. The board members, using the "whole
person concept," base their determination of the member's
potential to serve in the higher grade on the factors reflected
in the officer selection folder and on the officer selection
brief. Promotion is a competitive process and the final
recommendation is determined through a fair and equitable
process by the board members. A promotion board is the sole
recommending authority, and no feedback is provided by the board
to explain why a member is not recommended for selection to the
next higher grade.
On 23 Jan 2012, the applicant submitted a letter to the CY
2012 board to advise that he had successfully completed two of
the three tests for PME and was scheduled to complete the final
test on 30 Jan 2012. However, the convening notice for this
board (ARPCM 11-32, dated 2 Sep 2011) established the suspense
date for all letters as midnight, Mountain Standard Time (MST),
22 Jan 2012, (10 USC, section 14106). His letter was submitted
after the deadline, and could not be accepted for placement in
the Officer Selection Record (OSR) for the board's review.
His PME was not completed until Jun 2012, well after the 27 Jan
2012 board adjournment date.
The complete CV evaluation is at Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant on 22 Aug 2012, for review and comment within 30 days
(Exhibit C). As of this 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. 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 office of primary responsibility 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(s)
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.
