RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-01903
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His records be updated to reflect he is board certified in
pediatrics with the associated back pay. (Will be administratively
corrected)
He receives Special Selection Board (SSB) consideration for
promotion to the grade of colonel (O-6) by the CY12A (17 Sep 12)
Colonel Central Selection Board (CSB).
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He would have been selected for promotion to the grade of colonel
in 2012 if the promotion board had known he was board certified as
a pediatrician. He was unable to properly review and ensure his
promotion board brief was accurate due to his sons cancer
treatments and travel for medical care.
The applicants complete submission is at Exhibit A.
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant is on active duty in the Regular Air Force serving
in the grade of colonel (O-6) with Date of Rank (DOR) and
effective date of 1 Jun 14.
In a memorandum dated 19 Dec 14 (Exhibit D), AFPC/DPANF1 advised
the applicant that actions were initiated to request the Defense
Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) to pay any board
certification pay gap from 1999 to 2007.
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPANP recommends denial of the applicants request for a SSB.
The applicant was responsible for updating his record and failed
to do so. He had ample opportunity to update his record.
Members are solely responsible for updating their records to
reflect board certification. To accomplish this, the member
submits board certification documents directly to AFPC/DPANF for
Board Certification Pay (BCP), and also submits AF Form 2096,
Classification/On-the-Job Training Action, to their Commander
Support Staff (CSS) or the Military Personnel Section (MPS) to
update their Air Force Specialty Code (AFSC) with the M prefix
to reflect board certification. If the member fails to take these
actions, neither will occur. The Air Force does not task this
responsibility to any other office or position. The BCP is
updated independent of credentialing of the CCQAS. The applicant
updated his BCP in 1996, demonstrating an understanding of this
process at that point in time.
For Medical Corps promotion boards, board certification is
reflected Yes or No on the Duty History Qualification Brief
(DHQB). The DHQB draws from board certification pay. Officers
who have submitted their board certification documents to DPANF
should be drawing BCP. If the officer is drawing BCP, the DHQB
reflects Yes under board certification. The applicants BCP
expired on 31 Dec 06. In 2007 and the years that followed, he
failed to recognize he was not drawing BCP, and did not make
inquiries to address the matter. Between Dec 06 and Sep 12, he
had over 5 years to identify and correct his BCP. Since the
applicant was not drawing BCP in Sep 12, his DHQB would have
reflected No under board certification. His BCP was restarted
on 10 Sep 13.
A complete copy of the DPANP evaluation is at Exhibit B.
AFPC/DPSOO recommends denial of the applicants request for SSB
based on the recommendation of DPANP.
Officers are instructed to carefully examine the brief for
completeness and accuracy. If any errors are found, the member
must take corrective action prior to the selection board, not
after it. Although the applicant was board certified, he did not
submit his request for BCP certification until Sep 13. As a
result, his M0612A CSB Officer Selection Brief (OSB) reflected
No for board certification.
A complete copy of the DPSOO evaluation is at Exhibit C.
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the
applicant on 6 Jan 15 for review and comment within 30 days
(Exhibit E). As of this date, no response has been received by
this office.
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 an error or injustice to warrant SSB
consideration. We took notice of the applicants complete
submission in judging the merits of the case; however, we agree
with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force offices of
primary responsibility and adopt its rationale as the basis for
our conclusion the applicant has not been the victim of an error
of injustice. Therefore, aside from the administrative correction
noted above, we find no basis to recommend granting the additional
relief sought in this application.
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.

The amended decoration was approved on 24 Sep 08, after the 12 May 08 convening board date, and cannot be filed in her Officer Selection Record (OSR) for the CY08A CSB. The special order date, which authorizes the decoration, is the same as the “Given Under My Hand” date. By having the MSM in her promotion record, the promotion board would have seen that although she did not receive a definitely promote, the MSM, 2OLC would have projected that she continued to demonstrate outstanding performance.
