RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2017-01841

	COUNSEL:  NONE

	HEARING:  NO

APPLICANT’S REQUEST:

Supplemental promotion consideration for E8 testing cycles 14E8, 15E8, 16E8, and 17E8.

APPLICANT’S CONTENTION:

A draft copy of his Enlisted Performance Report (EPR), dated 15 May 13, was loaded in his personnel record.  Although he reviewed his records in the Personnel Record Display Application (PRDA) and his Data Verification Record (DVR) prior to each testing cycle, this error was not apparent.  He applied to Air Force Personnel Center to have his EPR corrected.  He then applied for supplemental promotion consideration and was denied.  The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant is an active duty Air Force Master Sergeant.  For more information, see the excerpt of the applicant’s record at Exhibit B and the advisory at Exhibit C.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DP2SPP recommends denying the application.  The complete advisory is at Exhibit C.

APPLICANT’S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

The Board sent a copy of the Air Force evaluation to the applicant on 13 Feb 18 for comment (Exhibit D), and the applicant replied on 8 Mar 18.  In his response, the applicant contended he followed the instructions on the Enlisted Promotion Program Fact Sheet, and the greater detail on how to complete the review is not documented in any instruction or training.  The applicant’s complete response is at Exhibit E.

THE BOARD CONCLUDES:

1.  The application was timely filed.  

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

3.  After thoroughly reviewing all Exhibits, it is the Board’s opinion the applicant is not the victim of an injustice.  The Board concurs with AFPC/DP2SPP and finds a preponderance of the evidence does not substantiate the applicant’s contentions. 

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS:

The APPLICANT be informed that the evidence did not demonstrate material injustice; the application was denied without a personal appearance; and the application will only be reconsidered upon receipt of relevant evidence not already considered by the Board.
