RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:	BC-2014-05246 COUNSEL:	NONE
HEARING DESIRED:	NO

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
The rating  in  Section  III,  Performance  Factors,  of  her AF Form 707, Officer Performance Report (OPR), with closeout date of 15 Dec 15 be changed from “Does Not Meet Standards” to “Meets Standards.”

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
Her rater inadvertently checked the wrong rating. The applicant’s rater has submitted a statement stating the rating of “Does not Meet Standards” in SECTION III was incorrectly checked and that no one in the rating chain discovered the error while completing the report. The rater also  states  the applicant did meet and exceed standards for the OPR period.

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

STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 28 May 97, the applicant entered the Regular Air Force.
According to the AF Form 707, Officer Performance Report (OPR), for the period 16 May 12 through 15 Dec 13, Section III Performance Factors “Does not Meet Standards” is checked; however, Section IX Performance Factors has not been used.

On 1 Feb 14 the applicant was furnished an honorable discharge, and was credited with 16 years, 8 months, and 4 days of active service.

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

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIM recommends granting the applicant’s request to change the OPR in question from “Does Not Meet Standards” to “Meets Standards,” indicating evidence of an error. Based on the evidence presented by the applicant, and a review of her fitness scores at the time of the report in question, this advisor believes an error has occurred. As the applicant is no longer actively serving as a member in the Air Force, administrative corrections cannot be made and it is recommended the AFBCMR grant this request.

A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSIM evaluation is at Exhibit D.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air  Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 14 Oct 14 for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit E). 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 error or injustice. We took notice of the applicant's complete submission in judging the merits of the case and agree with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force office of primary responsibility (OPR) and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion  the applicant has been the victim of an error or injustice. 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 that the AF Form 707, Officer Performance Report, for the rating period
16 May 2012 through 15 December 2013, Section III, reflects “Meets Standards.”
