RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2016-04609

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX	COUNSEL:  NONE
	
	HEARING:  NO

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His AF Form 911, Enlisted Performance Report (EPR), for the period 1 Dec 14 – 30 Sep 15, be replaced with a corrected copy.

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

His rater was misinformed regarding the professional military education requirements which caused the rater to mark the incorrect rating block in Section III, Block IV.  Once the rater had the correct guidance, he, as well as the entire rating chain, opted to correct and re-sign the EPR.  The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant is a currently serving Air Force Master Sergeant.  For more information, see the excerpt of the applicant’s record at Exhibit B and the advisory at Exhibit D.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DP2SPE recommends denying the application.  The Evaluation Reports Appeal Board disapproved the applicant’s request to substitute the EPR.  The applicant failed to provide substantiating documentation from the additional rater and final reviewer on the contested evaluation.  The complete advisory is at Exhibit D.

APPLICANT’S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

The Board sent a copy of the Air Force evaluation to the applicant on 11 Jul 18 for comment (Exhibit E), but has received no response.

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

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 the victim of an error and injustice.  While the Board notes the comments of AFPC/DP2SPE indicating relief should be denied, the Board believes a preponderance of the evidence substantiates the applicant’s contentions as all evaluators in the rating chain signed the amended EPR demonstrating unequivocal support that the contested evaluation should be changed.  Therefore, the Board recommends correcting the applicant’s records 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 911, Enlisted Performance Report, rendered for the period of 1 December 2014 through 30 September 2015, be removed from his records and the attached reaccomplished Air Force Form 911 be accepted for file in its place.  .
