RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF: 	DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-02257

					COUNSEL:  NONE

		HEARING DESIRED:  NO 



APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His AF Form 707, Officer Performance Report (OPR), rendered for 
the period 11 Sep 12 through 10 Sep 13, be removed from his 
records.


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

An anonymous, unsubstantiated allegation was made against him.  
As a result, the actions taken against him were based solely on 
the personal opinion of his supervisor that had no basis in 
fact.

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


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant served in the Air Force Reserve in the grade of 
Colonel (Col) during the period of time in question.

On 5 Dec 13, the applicant received an OPR rendered for the 
period of 11 Sep 12 through 10 Sep 13, on which was marked “Does 
Not Meet Standards” in performance factor areas #3 (Professional 
Qualities) and #7 (Physical Fitness) which made his OPR a 
referral.  His Rater stated in section IV (Rater Overall 
Assessment) that member “wrongfully verified his fitness test 
sit-up score knowing it was incorrect resulting in his removal 
from command.”  The additional Rater stated in section V 
(Additional Rater Overall Assessment) that “the member has been 
reassigned to AFRC.”

The applicant’s OPR profile is listed below:

			PERIOD ENDING		OVERALL EVALUATION
			 8 Jan 07		Meets Standards (MS)
			 8 Jan 08			MS
			 8 Jan 09			MS
			 8 Jan 10			MS
			 8 Jan 11			MS
			 10 Sep 11			MS
			 10 Sep 12			MS
			*10 Sep 13	   Does Not MS

*Referral Report

On 19 Dec 13, the applicant submitted a rebuttal statement.

On 1 Jun 14, the applicant was honorably retired.

In accordance with AFI 36-2406, Officer and Enlisted Evaluation 
Systems, Retired or separated personnel are not eligible to 
apply for correction through the Evaluation Reports Appeal Board 
(ERAB); therefore, they must apply to the AFBCMR.

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


AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

ARPC/DPTS recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of 
an error or an injustice.  While the applicant claims that there 
was no basis in fact for the contested action, he does not 
provide evidence to support his claim.  Additionally, the “does 
not meet” standards rating in fitness was not the sole basis for 
the referral of the contested OPR as the applicant was rated as 
“does not meet” standards in Professional Qualities.  
Accordingly, the Air Force Fitness Management (AFFMS) printout 
showing a passing score on a fitness assessment is not 
sufficient to conclude there is an injustice.  Air Force policy 
is that an evaluation report is accurate as written when it 
becomes a matter of record.  It is considered to represent the 
rating chain’s best judgment at the time it is rendered. To 
approve the request would be contrary to AFI 36-2406.

A complete copy of the ARPC/DPTS 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 7 Jan 15 for review and comment within 30 days 
(Exhibit D).  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.  Insufficient 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; however, we 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 not been the victim of an error of injustice.  
Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find 
no basis to recommend granting the requested relief.


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.
