Officers should update records Texas Officers RANDOLPH AFB, (AFNS) - who don't update their promotion selection records may not be eligible for special promotion consideration, said Air Force Military Personnel Center officials here. Last year, AFMPC received 1,950 appeals from officers, most of whose records had not been corrected or updated before their promotion board met. The officers wanted to be reconsidered by a special selection board. However, Department of Defense rules prohibit this for people who could have corrected their records before the original board met, officials said. Since officers know when they are eligible to meet a selection board, officials encourage them to begin preparations several months ahead of time. About four months before a selection board meets, military personnel flights" will, send each person a computer printout showing the data to be sent to the board. MPFs will also send a promotion recommendation form about 30 days before a board meets so promotion eligible candidates can verify the data, said Maj.
