_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

He receive Special Selection Board (SSB) consideration for 
promotion to the grade of lieutenant colonel by the CY11A 
Lieutenant Colonel Central Selection Board (CSB) with inclusion 
of the Joint Service Achievement Medal (JSAM) in his Officer 
Selection Record (OSR). 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

Due to delays beyond his control, his record was evaluated 
without inclusion of his JSAM that details his Joint Combatant 
Command (COCOM) staff experience during a recent deployment. His 
deployment ended 8 Jan 11, but the JSAM was not signed and 
updated in his record until after the board convened due to admin 
delays. 

 

In support of his request, the applicant provides a copy of the 
award package. 

 

His complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

The applicant is currently serving on active duty in the grade of 
major (0-4). He was non-selected for promotion to the grade of 
lieutenant colonel (0-5) by the CY11A CSB.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFPC/DPSOO recommends denial. DPSOO states the applicant’s JSAM 
Permanent Order 074-001 was published on 15 Mar 11; therefore, 
the citation was not required to be filed in his OSR until 15 Apr 
11. The absence of the JSAM in his P0511A OSR is not an error, 
not only was the JSAM awarded after the convening of the board, 
but it was not required to be in his record until 15 Apr 11. 


 

 

The DPSOO complete evaluation is at Exhibit B.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant 
on 19 Aug 11 for review and comment within 30 days. 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, in the 
absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no basis to 
recommend granting the relief sought in this application. 

 

4. The applicant's case is adequately documented and it has not 
been shown that a personal appearance with or without counsel 
will materially add to our understanding of the issue involved. 
Therefore, the request for a hearing is not favorably considered. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

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.
