COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
The Enlisted Performance Report (EPR) rendered for the period 6 Mar 98
through 5 Mar 00 be declared void and removed from her records.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
During the time the contested report was written, she was on orders as
an Individual Mobilization Augmentee (IMA) to support the --- Fighter
Wing (--- FW) via the --- Mission Support Squadron (--- MSS). The
commander and superintendent of the --- MSS did not want her support.
As a result, she received an unjust and erroneous EPR.
In support of her appeal, the applicant provided a copy of AF Form
948, Application for Correction/Removal of Evaluation Reports, with
supporting documentation, including her expanded statement and a copy
of the contested report.
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________

Information extracted from the Personnel Data System (PDS) indicates
that the applicant is currently serving in the Air Force Reserve in
the grade of senior master sergeant. She is credited with 24 years of
satisfactory Federal service.
Applicant's Enlisted Performance Report (APR/EPR) profile since 1996
follows:

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
ARPC/DPB recommended denial noting that the applicant filed an
Evaluation Reports Appeal Board (ERAB) request, which was denied.
According to ARPC/DPB, the applicant did not provide documentation to
substantiate her allegations to the ERAB or the AFBCMR. Without
substantiation, there is no reason the AFBCMR should overturn the ERAB
decision.
A complete copy of the ARPC/DPB evaluation, with attachment, is at
Exhibit B.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to applicant on 26
Sep 03 for review and response. As of this date, no response has been
received by this office (Exhibit C).
_________________________________________________________________
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. After a thorough review of the
evidence presented, to include statements from the applicant’s
superiors outside her rating chain, we believe sufficient doubt has
been raised concerning the equity and accuracy of the contested
report. We note that the EPR rating represents a substantial
regression when compared to her performance history both prior and
subsequent to the period under review, and there was no evidence of
any adverse actions or misconduct on the part of the applicant.
Furthermore, in our view, the comments in the contest report were
incongruent with her stated duties and responsibilities. In view of
the above cited factors, we believe any doubt concerning the fairness
and accuracy of the contested report should be resolved in favor of
the applicant. Therefore, we recommend that the contested report be
declared void and removed from her records.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:
The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force
relating to APPLICANT, be corrected to show that the Senior Enlisted
Performance Report, AF Form 911, rendered for the period 6 Mar 98
through 5 Mar 00 be declared void and removed from her records.
