 The Enlisted Performance  Report  (EPR)  rendered  for  the  period
 15 Dec 99 through 14 Dec 00 be declared void and removed  from  his
 records and replaced with a revised EPR covering the same period.


 _________________________________________________________________


 APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

 provided letters of support from the rater and additional rater  of
 the report in question.


 Applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is  attached  at
 Exhibit A.


 _________________________________________________________________


 STATEMENT OF FACTS:


 The applicant is currently serving in the Regular Air Force (RegAF)
 in the grade of senior airman.


 Applicant’s EPR profile follows:


             PERIOD ENDING           OVERALL EVALUATION


               1 May 98                      5
               1 May 99                      4
              14 Dec 99                      4

      *  Contested report.


 _________________________________________________________________


 AIR FORCE EVALUATION:


 The Chief, Inquiries/AFBCMR  Section,  AFPC/DPPPWB,  reviewed  this
 application and indicated that the first time the contested  report
 was considered in the promotion process was  cycle  01E5  to  staff
 sergeant (promotions effective Sep 01 - Aug 02).  Should the  Board
 replace the report as requested (with the upgrade  of  the  overall
 rating of “5”), providing he is otherwise eligible,  the  applicant
 will be entitled to supplemental promotion consideration  beginning
 with cycle 01E5.  He will become a select for  this  cycle  if  the
 Board grants the request pending a favorable data verification  and
 the recommendation of the commander.


 A complete  copy  of  the  Air  Force  evaluation  is  attached  at
 Exhibit C.


 The  Chief,  Performance  Evaluation  Section,  AFPC/DPPPEP,   also
 reviewed this application and indicated that Air  Force  policy  is
 that an evaluation report is accurate as written when it becomes  a
 matter of record and the willingness  of  evaluators  to  change  a
 report after promotion nonselection is not a valid reason for doing
 so.  DPPPEP recommends the Board deny the  applicant’s  request  to
 upgrade the report.


 A complete copy of their evaluation is attached at Exhibit D.


 _________________________________________________________________


 APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:


 Applicant reviewed the Air Force evaluations and commented  on  the
 advisory opinion from the Chief,  Performance  Evaluation  Section,
 that willingness to change an EPR after nonselection for  promotion
 is not a valid reason.  The applicant states that the rating  chain
 initiated and mailed  this  request  for  change  well  before  the
 promotion results were announced.  Therefore, the request  was  not
 due to him not making staff sergeant.


 Applicant’s complete response is attached at Exhibit F.


 _________________________________________________________________


 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 probable error or injustice.  We  have
 thoroughly reviewed the documentation submitted with  this  appeal,
 including the statements from the rater and additional rater of the
 report in question;  however,  we  are  not  persuaded  that  these
 statements support voiding and replacing the contested report.   We
 note that these individuals are willing to upgrade the  ratings  on
 the report in question.  However, in our  opinion,  the  rater  and
 additional rater did  not  provide  persuasive  rationale  for  the
 reasons they believe the contested report should be  replaced.   We
 believe that the ratings on the report were honest  assessments  of
 applicant’s performance at the time the report was rendered and the
 evidence has not substantiated that the  report  is  inaccurate  or
 unjust as written.  In view of the above, and  in  the  absence  of
 more clear-cut evidence that the applicant has suffered  either  an
 error or an injustice, we find no basis to recommend  granting  the
 relief sought.


 _________________________________________________________________


 THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:


 The applicant be notified  that  the  evidence  presented  did  not
 demonstrate the existence of probable 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.

    The rater provides a statement recommending the contested EPR be deleted as it was unjust and did not fit the applicant’s true performance. On 8 Nov 05, the applicant filed a second appeal, requesting the 3 Jun 04 report be deleted because of an unjust rating resulting from a “personnel [sic] conflict with the rater.” The ERAB returned the appeal without action, suggesting the applicant provide a reaccomplished EPR.

    Instead, para 4.7.5.2 is the appropriate reference that applies to the applicant and it states, “…the LOE becomes a referral document attached to the report.” After reviewing the referral EPR, the rater did not attach the LOE to the applicant’s referral EPR, therefore, as an administrative correction, DPPPEP recommends the LOE be attached to the referral EPR with corrections made to the “From and Thru” dates. DPPPWB states the first time the contested report would normally have...
