RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-02421 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NO ________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 1. His records be corrected to show he was assigned to the Air Force Reserves (AFRES) as an Individual Mobilization Augmentee (IMA) on 31 March 2008 not 20 May 2004. 2. He was assigned to the Inactive Ready Reserve (IRR) not the Participating Inactive Ready Reserve (PIRR). 3. His Officer Performance Reports (OPRs) for 2007 and 2008 be placed in his records. 4. His two non-selections to Major (O-4) be removed. 5. His Joint Service Commendation Medal (JSCM) be added to his records. (ADMINISTRATIVELY CORRECTED) ________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: His record/orders incorrectly reflect he was assigned to the PIRR rather than the IRR. His performance reports for 2007 and 2008 are not in his records. In support of the appeal, the applicant provides copies of his orders, and a copy of his JSCM citation. The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A. ________________________________________________________________ STATEMENT OF FACTS: The applicant is a Captain in the Air Force Reserves. The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are contained in the letter prepared by the appropriate office of the Air Force. Accordingly, there is no need to recite these facts here. ________________________________________________________________ AIR FORCE EVALUATION: ARPC/DPB recommends denial. DPB states the applicant’s assignments are correctly reflected in the Military Personnel Data System and that data matches the orders provided by the applicant. The applicant’s 20 May 2004 assignment to the Nonobligated Nonparticipating Ready Personnel Section resulted from his transfer from the active duty list to Reserve Active Status List. He remained there until his IMA assignment on 31 March 2005. On 31 March 2008, he was assigned to the Participating Individual Ready Reserve (PIRR) until his assignment with the 301st Medical Squadron on 15 July 2010. The applicant’s record does not contain performance reports for 2007 or 2008. While it appears he had sufficient participation to warrant OPRs, the organizations to which he was assigned did not prepare them for that time period. He was considered and not selected for promotion during the CY10 and CY11 Line and Health Professions Major Participating Reserve Biomedical Sciences Corps Promotion Selection Boards. The promotion boards promote qualified officers to serve in the next higher grade based on past performance and future potential. Promotion is a competitive process and the final recommendation is determined through a fair and equitable process by the board members. The applicant’s lack of performance documentation since 7 July 2006 made the applicant appear to have less promotion potential. The lack of participation and no satisfactory years earned towards retirement greatly reduced his promotion potential. There were no errors. The applicant’s duty assignments are accurately reflected. There is no basis to remove the applicant’s non-selections for promotion. The complete DPB evaluation is at Exhibit C. ________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 26 August 2011, for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit D). 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 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, relief beyond that already administratively granted is not warranted. Accordingly, we find no 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. ________________________________________________________________ The following members of the Board considered AFBCMR Docket Number BC-2011-02421 in Executive Session on 1 November 2011, under the provisions of AFI 36-2603: The following documentary evidence was considered: Exhibit A.
