_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His Officer Selection Record (OSR) be corrected to include his Officer Performance Report (OPR) for the period ending 15 May 07 and he be considered for retention by a Special Selection Board (SSB) for the L0407A Reduction in Force (RIF) Board.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

Upon a review of his record, he noticed that his most recent OPR was not included in his OSR.  The OPR was a significant part of his record and he wishes to have it included in his OSR.  His chain-of-command had every intention that this OPR be part of his selection record.  

In support of his request, applicant provides a copy of the his OPR closing 15 May 07.  The applicant’s complete submission, with attachment, is at Exhibit A.

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

Information extracted from the Military Personnel Data System (MilPDS) indicates the applicant is currently serving on active duty in the grade of major, with a date of rank of 1 Oct 05.  Applicant has a date of separation of 29 Jan 08.

The applicant’s OSB contains AF Form 707A, Field Grade Officer Performance Report, ending with the rating period 15 May 07 and AF Forms 707B, Company Grade Officer Performance Reports beginning with the period 16 Dec 00 and ending 6 Jun 04 with overall ratings of “Meets Standards.”

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSOO recommends denial.  DPSOO states there is no supporting documentation from the applicant’s rating chain 
showing what efforts, if any, were made to expedite the processing of the 15 May 07 OPR so that is could arrive in time to be reviewed by the L0407A RIF Board.  DPSOO advises that the OPR was not required to be on file until 15 July 2007 and since many eligible officers fall into this predicament, approving SSB consideration with a report not required to be on file would generate unfairness in the RIF process.  The complete AFPC/DPSOO evaluation is at Exhibit C.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

Applicant communicated to the AFBCMR that it was not his desire to provide a response to the Air Force evaluation (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 opinion and recommendation of the Air Force office of primary responsibility and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion that the applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice.  Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no compelling basis to recommend granting the relief sought in this application.

_________________________________________________________________

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.
