Both the absence of her signature and derogatory comments that indicate “Meets Standards” make the document invalid. The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A. ________________________________________________________________ STATEMENT OF FACTS: The applicant is currently serving in the Air National Guard (ANG) in the grade of major (O-4). According to the contested report, there is no place for the applicant to sign acknowledging receipt of the report. According to documentation provided by the applicant, on 20 Jun 13, the applicant requested removal of the contested OPR to the Evaluation Reports Appeal Board (ERAB); however, her request was denied. ________________________________________________________________ AIR FORCE EVALUATION: NGB/A1PP recommends the applicant petition the ERAB in accordance with AFI 36-2406, Officer and Enlisted Performance Evaluation Systems, paragraph 1.4.3.2. The A1PP evaluation is at Exhibit C. NGB/A1PS recommends the applicant petition the ERAB in accordance with AFI 36-2406, paragraph 1.4.3.2 indicating the applicant has not exhausted all administrative avenues. The A1PS evaluation is at Exhibit D. ________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the applicant on 24 Jan 14 for review and comment within 30 days. As of this date, no response has been received by this office (Exhibit E). ________________________________________________________________ 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 injustice. We note that the Air Force office of primary responsibility recommends denial stating that she has not exhausted all administrative remedies. However, the applicant provided documentation dated 20 Jun 13, that indicates she did request the contested report be removed by the ERAB; however, her request was denied. Based on our review of the applicant's request and the available evidence of record, we are not persuaded that the contested report is not a true and accurate assessment of her performance and demonstrated potential during the specified time period or that the comments contained in the report were in error or contrary to the provisions of the governing instruction. Therefore, we conclude the applicant has failed to sustain her burden of proof that she has been the victim of an error or injustice. In view of the above and in the absence of persuasive 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 the evidence presented did not demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; the application was denied without a personal appearance; and the application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this application. ________________________________________________________________ The following members of the Board considered AFBCMR Docket Number BC-2013-05006 in Executive Session on 30 Sep 14, under the provisions of AFI 36-2603: , Panel Chair , Member , Member The following documentary evidence was considered: Exhibit A.
