RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-04171 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 HEARING DESIRED: YES 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

1. The incorrect statement in Section IV, Promotion 
Recommendation, of his AF Form 709, Promotion Recommendation, 
prepared for the P0512A Central Selection Board (CSB), be 
corrected. 

 

2. His corrected record be considered for promotion to the 
grade of lieutenant colonel by a Special Selection Board (SSB) 
for the P0512A Central Selection Board. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

His AF Form 709, Section IV line 7, included incorrect 
information. "EOG cmd center dir" was erroneously included 
instead of "EOG Exec, ICC Dir.” The error on his AF Form 
709 omitted pertinent and factual information that may have 
impacted his non-selection for promotion and continuation. The 
Evaluation Reports Appeal Board (ERAB) considered his request; 
however, they were not convinced the original report was unjust 
or wrong. He cannot understand how a clear error constitutes a 
report as not being "unjust or wrong." A thorough review of his 
entire record will demonstrate to the Board that he is deserving 
of a promotion to the next higher rank and/or continuation. 

 

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

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

On 27 Jan 1997, the applicant entered the Regular Air Force and 
on 30 Nov 2012, he was honorable discharged. The narrative 
reason for separation was “NON-SELECTION, PERMANENT PROMOTION.” 

 

The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are 
contained in the letter prepared by the appropriate office of 
the Air Force at Exhibit C.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFPC/DPSID recommends denial of the applicant’s request to 
correct his AF Form 709. DPSID states that the applicant has 
not provided evidence to prove his assertion that the original 
report was inaccurate or unjust. Air Force policy states an 
evaluation report is accurate as written when it becomes a 
matter of record. Additionally, it is considered to represent 
the rating chain's best judgment at the time it is rendered. To 
effectively challenge an evaluation, it is necessary to hear 
from all the members of the rating chain-not only for support, 
but also for clarification/explanation. The applicant has 
provided insufficient support from his evaluators to justify his 
request. Once a report is accepted for file, only strong 
evidence to the contrary warrants correction or removal from an 
individual's record. To alter the current AF Form 709 would 
circumvent the integrity of the form as originally completed by 
the senior rater who has the sole responsibility to determine 
its context. 

 

The complete DPSID evaluation is at Exhibit C. 

 

AFPC/DPSOO recommends denial of the applicant’s request for SSB 
consideration. DPSOO states that based on DPSID’s advisory and 
recommendation to deny correcting the PRF, they recommend his 
request for SSB consideration be denied. 

 

The complete DPSOO evaluation is at Exhibit D.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

On 8 Feb 2013, copies of the Air Force evaluations were 
forwarded to the applicant for review and comment within 
30 days. As of this date, no response has been received by this 
office (Exhibit E). 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

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 opinions and 
recommendations of the Air Force offices of primary 
responsibility and adopt their rationale as the basis for our 


conclusion 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.
