RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2010-00762 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: YES ________________________________________________________________ THE APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: Her Enlisted Performance Report (EPR) rendered for the period from 8 February 2008 through 1 October 2008 be changed to reflect the correct inclusive dates, remove duplicate bullet statements, and reflect the correct dates of supervision. By email, the applicant requested that the contested report be removed. ________________________________________________________________ THE APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: The previous EPR closing in February 2008 and the October 2008 change of rating official (CRO) is evidence of the incorrect inclusive dates and duplicate bullet statements. The initial performance feedback worksheet and statement, documents the CRO action from her previous supervisor. The report should reflect supervision with the CRO report beginning on 6 June 2008 through 1 October 2008, for a total of 118 days and not enough days of supervision to complete a CRO report. She contacted her rating chain and they made various attempts to contact her supervisor to make the requested corrections; however, her supervisor would not make the requested changes. She filed an appeal through the Evaluation Reports Appeals Board (ERAB) to have the report removed; however, her request was denied. In support of her appeal, the applicant provides a copy of her EPRs closing 15 February 2008 and 1 October 2008 (validating the duplicate bullet statements; a copy of her initial performance feedback worksheet and feedback statement, dated 5 June 2008 (validating that a CRO occurred), and a letter from her first sergeant (validating her attempts to have the reports corrected). The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A. ________________________________________________________________ STATEMENT OF FACTS: Based on information from the Air Force evaluation, the applicant filed an appeal through the ERAB; however, the ERAB denied voiding the report. The applicant’s EPR profile of the last ten reports follows: PERIOD ENDING OVERALL RATING 04 Jun 02 5 15 Jan 03 4 15 Jan 04 5 04 Jun 04 5 16 May 05 5 16 May 06 5 15 Feb 07 5 15 Feb 08 5 #01 Oct 08 4 01 Oct 09 5 # Contested Report The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application, extracted from the applicant’s military records, are contained in the letter prepared by the appropriate office of the Air Force. ________________________________________________________________ THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION: AFPC/DPSIDEP recommends denial of the applicant’s request to void the report, but, in the alternative, they recommend the report be replaced with the reaccomplished report. After reviewing the applicant’s request, they found that the start date was incorrect; that the number of days of supervision appeared to be incorrect; and the report did contain several duplicate bullets. However, in accordance with (IAW) Air Force Instruction (AFI) 36-2401, Correcting Officer and Enlisted Reports, para 1.3.1., AFPC/DPSIDEP will not void a report when the error or injustice can be corrected administratively. They contacted the applicant’s rater, who in turn provided replacement bullets and an explanation on the number of days of supervision; that although there was some contemplation of a 6 June 2008 CRO, it was determined to be in the best interest of the applicant not to CRO her at that time and the CRO did not take place. The complete AFPC/DPSIDEP evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit C. ________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION: A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 30 April 2010 for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit D). By email, the applicant amended her request to have the contested report removed (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. Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the existence of error or injustice warranting corrective action. We took notice of the applicant’s complete submission, including the statement by her first sergeant in support of her appeal. Additionally, we considered the applicant’s amendment to her application to try to have the contested report removed; however, we did not find evidence to support her request for removal of the report. The Air Force office of primary responsibility (OPR) has adequately addressed the applicant’s issues and we are in agreement with their opinion and recommendation to have the report replaced with the reaccomplished report. Accordingly, we recommend her record be corrected to the extent indicated below. 4. The applicant's case is adequately documented and it has not been shown that a personal appearance with or without counsel will materially add to our understanding of the issue(s) involved. Therefore, the request for a hearing is not favorably considered. ________________________________________________________________ THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT: The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force relating to APPLICANT, be corrected to show that: a.
