RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF: 	DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-05524

			COUNSEL:  NONE

			HEARING DESIRED:  NO 


APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His duty history be amended to reflect “Deputy Commander, 92nd Mission Support Group (MSG)” rather than “Deputy Commander, 
92nd Logistics Readiness Squadron (LRS).”


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

While he was not directly assigned to the MSG, and his duty history reflects he served as the Deputy Commander for the LRS, he 
served as the Deputy Commander for the MSG for several months before his move to the US European Command.  Furthermore, the LRS 
does not have a Deputy Commander position.

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


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant is currently serving on active duty in the grade of lieutenant colonel (O-5).

The applicant’s duty history during the period in question, as reflected in the Military Personnel Data System (MilPDS), is as follows:

EFFECTIVE DATE	ORG		DUTY TITLE

 28 Aug 06	92nd LRS	Director, Air Exped Force Cell
*14 May 08	92nd LRS	Deputy Commander 
 27 Sep 08	AFELM		Joint Logistics Planner

*contested duty title

The applicant’s performance report rendered for the period 
26 Aug 07 through 10 Sep 08 reflects he was assigned to the 92nd 
LRS with duty at the 92nd MSG as Deputy Commander.  The Overall 
Rater Assessment by the then MSG commander includes the following 
bullet:  “Incredible...period! Seamless leadership in my absence; 
handpicked for tough EUCOM J3/5 job...follow w/SDE!”

The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are 
contained in the memorandum prepared by the Air Force office of 
primary responsibility (OPR), which is attached at Exhibit C.


AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPALL recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of an 
error or an injustice.  The applicant was assigned to the 92nd LRS 
from 3 Aug 05 through 27 Sep 08 and served as the acting commander 
for six months while the commander was deployed.  He also 
performed duties at the MSG from Aug 06 through Sep 08.

In order to be released for a deputy commander position in the 21R 
(Logistics Readiness Officer) career field, a service member must 
be a graduated squadron commander who has completed senior 
development education (SDE).  The applicant did not meet these 
requirements during the reporting period in question and there is 
no record of him being hired for the position.  

However, if the decision is to grant the relief sought, the 
records should be corrected to show the duty title of "Interim 
Deputy Commander, 92 Mission Support Group" for the duration of 
his attachment to the 92nd Mission Support Group, Fairchild AFB, 
14 May 08 to 27 Sep 08.

A complete copy of the AFPC/DPALL 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 9 Jun 14 for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit C).  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.  Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate 
the existence of an injustice warranting partial relief.  The 
applicant contends during his assignment with the 92nd Logistics 
Readiness Squadron he served as the deputy commander for the 
Mission Support Group for several months during the period 26 Aug 
07 through 10 Sep 08 and his duty history should therefore be 
changed accordingly.  While we note the comments of AFPC/DPALL 
indicating that the applicant was not qualified to serve as a 
permanent deputy commander position in his career field as he was 
not a graduated squadron commander who had completed senior development education (SDE), we believe some measure of relief is 
warranted.  In this respect, we note the applicant’s performance report for the period 26 Aug 07 thru 10 Sep 08, indicates that he 
provided “seamless leadership” during the commander’s absence, therefore, while we don’t disagree with the determination of the 
OPR that the applicant was not qualified to hold the permanent position of Deputy Mission Support Group Commander, we believe it 
would be appropriate to correct the applicant’s records to reflect that he served as the interim deputy mission support group 
commander as noted in his officer performance report during the group commander’s absence.  Therefore, we recommend the 
applicant’s records be corrected as indicated below.


THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:

The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force relating to the APPLICANT be corrected to show his duty title, 
effective 14 May 2008, as reflected in his duty history in the Military Personnel Data System (MilPDS), be corrected to reflect 
“Interim Deputy Commander, 92nd Mission Support Group, Fairchild AFB.
