STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

On 16 Oct 07, the applicant contracted his enlistment in the 
Regular Air Force. He was promoted to the grade of airman, 
having assumed that grade effective and with a date of rank of 
16 Apr 08. 

 

The applicant was eligible for promotion to A1C on 16 Feb 09; 
however, his commander placed his promotion on hold due to his 
substandard performance until 16 Aug 09. 

 

He received a referral enlisted performance report (EPR) for the 
period 16 Oct 07 through 15 Feb 09 for failing to adhere to Air 
Force standards. 

 

He was honorably discharged on 7 May 09. He served 1 year, 
6 months and 22 days of active service.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFPC/DPSOE recommends denial. DPSOE states the applicant was not 
eligible for promotion due to his receiving a referral EPR. 
DPSOE further notes even if the performance report were removed 
from his records, he would still be ineligible for promotion to 
A1C on 16 Aug 09, as he was no longer on active duty in the Air 
Force. 

 

The complete AFPC/DPSOE evaluation, with attachment, is at 
Exhibit C.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant 
on 11 Jun 10, for review and comment within 30 days. 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. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to 
demonstrate the existence of an error or an 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 decision that the 
applicant has failed to sustain his burden of proof of the 
existence 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. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

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.
