RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2021-00067

XXXXXXXXXXXXX	COUNSEL: XXXXXXXXXX

	HEARING REQUESTED: NO

APPLICANT’S REQUEST

Special Selection Board to consider him for a position vacancy promotion to Lieutenant Colonel for the CY20 Air Force Reserve Line and Nonline Lieutenant Colonel Position Vacancy (PV) Promotion Selection Board.

APPLICANT’S CONTENTIONS

His Promotion Recommendation Form (PRF) was not submitted because his PME was not displayed on his career data brief.

The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.

STATEMENT OF FACTS

The applicant is a currently serving Air Force Reserve major (0-4).

For more information, see the excerpt of the applicant’s record at Exhibit B and the advisory at Exhibit C.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION

AFPC/DP3SA recommends denying the application.  The applicant’s Air Command and Staff College (ACSC) certificate shows he completed ACSC on 28 April 2020 and PRFs were due to ARPC/PB on 24 April 2020; therefore, the career data brief was correct at the time of the PRF submission date.  The applicant did not complete ACSC prior to the PRF due date, as outlined in an e-mail submitted by the applicant, and the applicant was not nominated by the senior rater for PV consideration.

The complete advisory opinion is at Exhibit C.

APPLICANT’S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION

The Board sent a copy of the advisory opinion to the applicant on 19 March 2021 for comment (Exhibit D), but has received no response.

FINDINGS AND CONCLUSION

1.  The application was timely filed.

2.  The applicant exhausted all available non-judicial relief before applying to the Board.

3.   After reviewing all Exhibits, the Board concludes the applicant is not the victim of an error or injustice.  The Board concurs with the rationale and recommendation of ARPC/PB and finds a preponderance of the evidence does not substantiate the applicant’s contentions.  Therefore, the Board recommends against correcting the applicant’s records.

RECOMMENDATION

The Board recommends informing the applicant the evidence did not demonstrate material error or injustice, and the Board will reconsider the application only upon receipt of relevant evidence not already presented.
