AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:  02-03823
		INDEX CODE:  110.00
		COUNSEL:  NONE
		HEARING DESIRED:  NO

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

In the applicant’s request for reconsideration, she requests that her Promotion Recommendation Form (PRF) be amended to reflect a Professional Military Education (PME) recommendation for Intermediate Service School (ISS) and that she be considered for promotion to the grade of major by a Special Selection Board (SSB).
_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

Information extracted from the Personnel Data System (PDS) indicates the applicant’s Total Active Federal Military Service Date as 30 September 1991.  She is currently serving on active duty in the grade of captain, with a date of rank of 20 July 1995.  The applicant has five nonselections to the grade of major.

On 3 June 2003, the applicant’s request that her PRF be amended to reflect a PME recommendation for ISS and that she be considered for promotion to the grade of major by an SSB was considered and denied by the Board.  For an accounting of the facts and circumstances surrounding the Board’s consideration of the appeal, see the Record of Proceedings at Exhibit F. 

On 25 March 2004, the applicant submitted a request for reconsideration, contending that the chain-of-command failed to adequately do their job in accordance with Air Force instructions and did not understand the promotion process.  In addition, based on her colleague’s statement, her marital status determined her promotion potential.  The applicant’s submission is at Exhibit G.
_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

In earlier findings, the Board determined that there was insufficient evidence to warrant approval of the applicant’s request that her PRF be amended to reflect a PME recommendation for ISS and that she be considered for promotion to the grade of major by an SSB.   After careful reconsideration of her request we do not find it sufficiently compelling to warrant a revision of the Board’s earlier determination in this case.  Based on her colleague’s personal observation, the applicant believes that her marital status was a factor in determining her promotion potential.  There is nothing in the evidence provided which would lead us to believe that this is the case.  More importantly, there is no indication that the applicant ever filed an Equal Opportunity Treatment complaint concerning this alleged discrimination, as was her right to do.  Based on the evidence of record, we can discern no indication that the senior rater abused his discretionary authority or that his comments were based on inappropriate considerations.  Therefore, in the absence of persuasive evidence to the contrary, we find no compelling basis to recommend granting relief sought in this application.

________________________________________________________________

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.
