MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE:  9 MAY 2006

_________________________________________________________________


APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Her Officer Performance Report (OPR), rendered for the  period  2 June
2000 through 1 June 2001, be placed in her Officer Selection Folder in
lieu of the AF Form 77, Supplemental Evaluation Sheet.
_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

She has evidence that her 2001 OPR was submitted but was  not  signed.
On 17 June 2003, it was decided that an AF Form 77 should be placed in
her record in place of the missing OPR, closing 1 June  2001,  because
her previous supervisor was no longer assigned at the Numbered Medical
Group.  However, the following OPR, closing 1 June 2002, is signed  by
the same three individuals who could have  signed  the  previous  OPR.
She has met all of her participation requirements for  the  period  in
question.  The Numbered  Medical  Group  had  no  system  for  tracing
Reserve OPRs and, as a result of this error, it could potentially have
a negative effect on her next promotion board.

In support of her request, applicant submits copies  of  the  proposed
OPR, a letter from her Military Personnel Flight (MPF)  requesting  an
AF Form 77 be placed in her selection folder, an OPR, closing  1  June
2002, and additional documents associated with the issues cited in her
contentions.  The applicant’s complete submission,  with  attachments,
is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

Information extracted from the Military Personnel Data System (MilPDS)
reveals the applicant’s Total Active Federal Commissioned Service Date
(TAFCSD) as 16 December 1987.  She is a  member  of  the  Nurse  Corps
(NC).  The applicant was promoted to the grade of  major,  Reserve  of
the Air Force, with an effective date and date  of  rank  of  14  July
1999.  She has completed a total of 16 years, 6 months and 8  days  of
satisfactory Federal service.

Information maintained in  the  MilPDS  reveals  Applicant's  profile,
commencing with the report closing 1 Mar 1995, as follows:

            Period Ending    Evaluation

      (Captain)   1 Mar 95   Meets Standards
             1 Mar 96       MS
             1 Jun 97       MS
             1 Jun 98       MS
  (Major)    1 Jun 00       MS
             1 Jun 01  No Report - AF Form 77

EXAMINER’S  NOTE:   The  applicant’s  Officer  Selection  Folder   was
unavailable for the Board’s review.
_________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

HQ AFPC/DPB recommends the application  be  denied.   DPB  states  the
applicant’s submission of an  OPR  for  the  period  in  question  was
accomplished in April 2003.  However, the OPR provided  is  incomplete
since a reviewer has not signed the form.  Therefore, it  is  still  a
working copy (draft) until all appropriate  signatures  are  obtained.
The applicant’s previous supervisor is no longer assigned to the  USAF
Academy hospital; therefore, an AF Form 77 was placed in her selection
folder.  DPW recommends the AF  Form  77  remain  in  the  applicant’s
selection folder.  Based on the Numbered ABW policy,  the  applicant’s
current rating chain cannot accomplish an OPR for a time they were not
at the Academy.  The OPR provided by the applicant is  incomplete  and
should not be  placed  in  her  selection  folder.   The  HQ  AFPC/DPB
evaluation is at Exhibit B.
_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

The applicant reviewed the advisory opinion  and  indicates  that  the
rater, LtCol P--, of the OPR, closing 1 June 2001, was assigned to the
USAF Academy during the entire time she was attached to  the  Academy.
The rater, LtCol P--, was the additional rater on her OPR,  closing  1
June  2000.   Therefore,  it  is  incorrect  to  say  the  rater   was
accomplishing an OPR for a time period  prior  to  his  arrival.   She
worked within the rater’s chain of command and he  was  clearly  in  a
position to write her OPR.  The applicant’s complete submission,  with
attachment, is at Exhibit D.
_________________________________________________________________

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, we  are  sufficiently  persuaded  that  corrective
action is warranted in this case.  In this respect, we note the  rater
of the report under review was an evaluator on the  applicant’s  prior
and subsequent  OPRs  she  provided;  therefore,  we  believe  he  was
knowledgeable of the applicant’s duty performance and accomplishments.
 We also noted the  subsequent  OPR,  closing  1 June  2002,  is  very
similar to  the  report  in  question,  including  the  rating  chain.
Although the report under review is incomplete  because  the  reviewer
did not sign it, the rater and additional rater did, however,  indorse
the report.  Therefore, one can surmise that  it  was  the  rater  and
additional  rater’s  intent  to  have  the  report  entered   in   the
applicant’s selection record.  In addition, we note there  appears  to
have been  a  problem  at  the  Numbered  Medical  Group  in  tracking
Reserve/IMA OPRs.  Due to the circumstances of this case and since the
OPR, closing 1 June  2002,  is  almost  identical  to  the  report  in
question, we believe the best remedy would be to void the AF  Form  77
and have the reporting period of the OPR, rendered for  the  period  2
June 2001 through 1 June 2002, changed to 2 June 2000 through  1  June
2002.  In view of the  foregoing  and  in  an  effort  to  remove  any
possibility of  an  injustice  to  the  applicant,  we  recommend  the
applicant’s records be corrected to the extent indicated below.
_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:

The pertinent military records of the  Department  of  the  Air  Force
relating to APPLICANT be corrected to show that:

      a.  The Supplemental Evaluation Sheet, AF Form 77, rendered  for
the period 2 June 2000 to 1 June 2001, be declared  void  and  removed
from her records.

      b.  The Field Grade Officer Performance Report,  AF  Form  707A,
rendered for the period 2 June 2001 through 1 June 2002, be amended to
change Section I, Block 5 (Period of Report) to reflect  2  June  2000
through 1 June 2002 rather than 2 June 2001 through 1 June 2002.
