								COUNSEL:  None

								HEARING DESIRED:  No

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

In the applicant’s appeal for reconsideration, he requests that the Officer Performance Report (OPR) rendered for the period    11 May 2000 through 10 May 2001 be declared void and he receive Special Selection Board consideration for promotion to the grade of lieutenant colonel by the Calendar Years 2001B (CY01B) and 2002A (CY02A) Lieutenant Colonel Selection Boards.
_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant is currently serving on extended active duty in the grade of lieutenant colonel.

Applicant was considered and not selected for promotion to the grade of colonel by the CY01B and CY02B Colonel Selection Boards. 

On 12 December 2001, the applicant appealed the contested report under the provisions of AFI 36-2401 and the appeal was considered and returned without action by the Evaluation Report Appeal Board (ERAB).  The ERAB recommended that the applicant request a new and impartial investigation into the case by an agency not affiliated with the medical organization or the chain of command, such as, the 81 TRW/IG or 81 TRW/MEO offices.  The findings of this new and independent investigation will ensure the applicant receives due process.  These findings can then be resubmitted in another appeal, if desired.

On 3 June 2003, a similar appeal was considered and denied by the Board.  For an accounting of the rationale of the earlier decision by the Board, see the Record of Proceedings at Exhibit H.

On 15 July 2003, the applicant submitted a request for reconsideration.  In further support of his request, he provided a personal statement, additional statements from his co-workers, and copies of correspondence he believes supports his contentions.  His complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit I.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

After a thorough review of the evidence of record and applicant’s submission, we remain unconvinced that he was the victim of either an error or an injustice.  We conclude the contested OPR was appropriate and sustainable based upon the evidence supplied by the existing record.  The applicant, along with the statements provided, still has not established to our satisfaction that the base for the rating chain was unfounded or indefensible.  As the applicant has failed to sustain his burden of having suffered either an error or an injustice, we find no compelling basis to overturn our earlier determination that this case should be denied.

_________________________________________________________________

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.
