						COUNSEL:  NONE

						HEARING DESIRED:  NO

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

1. The following Officer Performance Reports (OPR) be added to his Officer Selection Record (OSR): 

a.  30 Sep 14 thru 7 Jun 15 inclusive period.

His Guard unit uploaded a previous OPR instead of the OPR closing out 11 Sep 14.  Soon after, he returned to Active Duty which produced an OPR from Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, but could not be uploaded due to the incorrect OPR loaded by the Guard unit. Those two OPRs did not meet the CY15A Colonel MC CSB.

The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

At the time the applicant submitted his application, he was serving in the Regular Air Force in the grade of Lieutenant Colonel, O-5.

On 12 Sep 16, the applicant met the SSB CY15A Colonel MC CSB.

On 9 May 17, the applicant was promoted to the grade of Colonel, O-6, Special Order JB-01660, effective 28 Jan 16.

The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are contained in the memoranda prepared by the Air Force offices of primary responsibility (OPR), which are attached at Exhibits C and D.

AIR FORCE EVALUATIONS:

AFPC/DPS2PE recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of an error or an injustice.  IAW AFI 36-2406, Officer and Enlisted Evaluation Systems, paragraph 10.1 the Evaluation Reports Appeal Board (ERAB) was established to provide all Air Force personnel with an avenue of relief for correcting errors or injustices in evaluations at the lowest possible level. If an evaluation cannot be corrected under Table 10.2., Correcting Minor Errors on Evaluations, an applicant's first avenue of relief for correcting an evaluation is through the ERAB.  An applicant's second and last avenue of relief is via the Air Force Board for Correction of Military Records (AFBCMR).  The applicant should exhaust all other avenues of relief before submitting his request to the AFBCMR.

A complete copy of the AFPC/DPS2PE evaluation is at Exhibit C.

AFPC/DP2SP recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of an error or an injustice.  The applicant’s request to add the 11 Sep 14 OPR has been resolved.  After a thorough review of his record, the Chief, Officer Promotions and Selective Continuation Branch, approved adding the OPR to the CY15A Colonel board and granting SSB consideration.  Although the applicant’s 7 Jun 15 OPR is a matter of record in the Automated Records Management System (ARMS), the Reviewer and the date of the Ratee’s Acknowledgement are both dated after the board convening date of 31 Aug 15.

A complete copy of the AFPC/DP2SP evaluation is at Exhibit D.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATIONS:

Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the applicant on 13 Dec 16 for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibits C and D).  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.  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 AFPC/DP2SP and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion the applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice.  Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no basis to recommend granting relief beyond that rendered administratively.

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.
