IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBERS:  01-01017
		INDEX CODE   115.04  131.01
		COUNSEL:  None

		HEARING DESIRED:  No

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

The flying status section of the Officer Selection Brief (OSB) reviewed by the Calendar Year 2000A (CY00A) Lieutenant Colonel Central Selection Board be corrected to reflect “CONDL HDIP NON RATED-ACT AIRCREW MEMBER,” and she be considered by a Special Selection Board (SSB). 

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

The reasons the applicant believes the records to be in error or unjust and the evidence submitted in support of the appeal are at Exhibit A.

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant is currently serving on extended active duty in the grade of major (date of rank: 1 Mar 97).

The flying status section of the applicant’s 21 Aug 00 Officer Pre-selection Brief (OPB) for the CY00A board reflected “CONDL HDIP NON RATED-ACT AIRCREW MEMBER” (Conditional Hazardous Duty Incentive Pay, Non-rated, Active Aircrew Member). Paragraph 12 of the Instruction Sheet accompanying HQ AFPC/DPP’s 5 Jul 00 CY00A board notification letter indicates that flying hours will be reflected on the OSB for rated officers, but not for non-rated aircrew members. A copy of the letter and Instruction Sheet is provided at Exhibit C. 

The applicant was considered but not selected for promotion by the CY00A board, which convened on 28 Nov 00.  The flying section on the OSB was blank.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

The Chief, Officer Promotion & Appointment Branch, HQ AFPC/DPPPOO, reviewed the appeal and provided her rationale for recommending denial.

A complete copy of the evaluation, as well as the CY00A Instruction Sheet, is at Exhibit C.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A complete copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 15 Jun 01 for review and comment within 30 days.  As of this date, this office has received no response. 

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

1.	The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing law or regulations.

2.	The applicant was timely filed.

3.	Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the existence of probable error or injustice.  After a thorough review of the evidence of record and applicant’s submission, we are not persuaded that the flying status on the CY00A OSB should be amended and she be afforded SSB consideration by that board. Applicant’s contentions are duly noted; however, we do not find these uncorroborated assertions, in and by themselves, sufficiently persuasive to override the rationale provided by the Air Force. We therefore adopt the rationale expressed as the basis for our decision that the applicant has failed to sustain his burden of having suffered either an error or an injustice. In view of the above and absent persuasive evidence to the contrary, we conclude this appeal should be denied.

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:

The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not demonstrate the existence of probable 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.
