                            RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
             AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2006-02171
            INDEX CODE:  111.05

            COUNSEL:  NOT INDICATED

            HEARING DESIRED:  NO

MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE:  22 FEB 2008

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

The Enlisted Performance Report (EPR) closing out on  31  January  2006,  be
changed in Section V, Line 10 to reflect she completed five classes  towards
her Community College of the Air Force (CCAF)  Degree  rather  than  stating
she completed her CCAF.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

During the period of the contested  report  she  completed  a  total  of  15
semester hours towards her CCAF.

Applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air  Force  in  the  grade  of  airman
basic on 28 May 1997 for a term of 4 years.  She was progressively  promoted
to the grade of staff sergeant and currently  serves  in  that  grade.   The
first time the report would have been considered in  the  promotion  process
was cycle 06E6.  She was selected for promotion to the  grade  of  technical
sergeant during the 06E6 promotion cycle.

_________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPPPEP recommends denial.  According to DPPPEP the applicant failed  to
provide any supporting evidence from her evaluators to  support  her  claim.
She must provide a substitute report with the corrections  made  and  signed
by all original evaluators.  She must  also  provide  documentation  showing
she completed five classes towards her CCAF and has not been awarded a  CCAF
Degree.   She  was  provided  30  additional  days  to  provide   additional
information for the board to consider and failed to take  necessary  actions
to support her claim.  An evaluation report is considered to  represent  the
rating chain’s best judgment at the time it is rendered.  Once a  report  is
accepted for file, only strong evidence to the contrary warrants  correction
or removal from an individual’s record.  The  burden  of  proof  is  on  the
applicant.  She has not substantiated  the  aforementioned  report  was  not
rendered in good faith by all evaluators based  on  knowledge  available  at
the time.

The complete 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 27  Oct
06, for review and comment within 30 days.  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 error or injustice.  It appears the applicant contends the  EPR
is inaccurate and should be changed to reflect she  completed  five  classes
towards her CCAF Degree rather than stating she completed her  CCAF.   After
reviewing the documentation provided by the applicant and  the  evidence  of
record, the Board finds no persuasive  evidence  that  the  report  was  not
rendered in good faith by all evaluators based  on  knowledge  available  at
the time.  We also note the applicant has failed  to  provide  a  substitute
report  with  the  corrections  made  signed  by  the  original  evaluators.
Therefore, we agree with the opinion and recommendation  of  the  Air  Force
office of primary responsibility and adopt its rationale as  the  basis  for
our conclusion that the applicant has not been the victim  of  an  error  or
injustice.  In  the  absence  of  evidence  to  the  contrary,  we  find  no
compelling 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 an 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.

    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...

    These were the minimum eligibility requirements to be considered by the promotion board but in no way ensured or guaranteed a promotion. DPPPEP has no way of knowing whether the promotion authority would have recommended the applicant’s promotion consideration during this cycle since the top report was a referral. In this respect, it appears the statements regarding the applicant’s supervisory performance were the basis for the contested reports.

    She believes if the awards were included in her EPR, her board score would have been higher and she subsequently would have been promoted to senior master sergeant during the 04E8 cycle. She believes the advisor inaccurately states she was considered for promotion three times after her EPR became a matter of record. It is further recommended that she be provided supplemental consideration for promotion to the grade of senior master sergeant (E-8) for promotion cycle 04E8.
