APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

1. His Enlisted Performance Report (EPR), rendered for the 
Period 19 October 1998 through 15 June 2001, be voided and 
replaced with the original EPR rendered for that period before it 
was downgraded by an Individual Mobilization Augmentee (IMA) 
officer not in his chain of command. 

 

2. He be promoted to the grade of senior master sergeant (E-8). 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

An unauthorized officer pulled his written and signed EPR 
rendered for the period 19 October 1998 through 15 June 2001, 
rewrote and downgraded it, and coerced his rater to sign the 
rewritten report. 

 

In support of his appeal, the applicant provides copies of 
numerous electronic communications, a Congressional Inquiry, 
EPRs, letters of support, reassignment orders, memorandums of 
appreciation, and letters of commendation. 

 

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

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

The applicant is a former member of the Air Force Reserve who was 
transferred to the Retired Reserve List effective 31 May 2007 in 
the grade of master sergeant (E-7). He served 31 years, 11 
months, and 13 days of service for basic pay. 

 

The remaining relevant facts, extracted from the applicant’s 
military service records, are contained in the evaluation by the 
Air Force office of primary responsibility at Exhibits C.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFRC/A1K recommends denying the applicant’s request for 
promotion. A1K states the applicant’s EPR rendered for the 
period 19 October 1998 through 15 June 2001 was already removed 
from his record; therefore, there is no action required in regard 
to this portion of his request. In regard to his request for 
promotion to the grade of senior master sergeant, there is no 
evidence to show he was recommended for or denied promotion by 
the promotion authority (commander). The applicant contends he 
was unjustly denied promotion so their office contacted him to 
ask if he had any documentation to support his claim; however, he 
stated he does not. 

 

The complete A1K evaluation is at Exhibit C.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant 
on 29 July 2011 for review and comment within 30 days. As of 
this date, this office has received no response.

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT: 

 

1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing 
law or regulations. 

 

2. The application was not timely filed; however, it is in the 
interest of justice to excuse the failure to timely file. 

 

3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to 
demonstrate the existence of error or injustice. We note the 
applicant’s contested EPR has already been removed from his 
record, and we do not find it appropriate to replace it with his 
initial EPR, as requested, without support from his chain of 
command. In regard to his request to be promoted to the grade of 
senior master sergeant, we find no evidence that he was 
recommended for promotion by his commander. Therefore, we agree 
with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force office of 
primary responsibility and adopt its rationale as the basis for 
our conclusion that the applicant has not been the victim 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.
