HEARING DESIRED: NOT INDICATED
MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE: 5 FEB 2008
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
The Enlisted Performance Report (EPR) closing out on 31 January 2006 be
changed to reflect Section III #1 and #5 rated one to the right and Section
IV be upgraded to a 5 in the rater’s and additional rater’s recommendation
block rather than 4.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The report is not a fair assessment of his performance and the ratings are
unjust.
In support of his request, the applicant provided a personal statement,
three AF Form IMT 931, Performance Feedback Worksheets and a copy of AF IMT
Form 910 Enlisted Performance Report closing out on 31 January 2006.
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________

promoted to the grade of technical sergeant and currently serves in that
grade. The first time the contested report will be considered in the
promotion process is cycle 07E7 to master sergeant.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPPEP recommends denial. According to DPPPEP the applicant failed to
provide any supporting evidence to support his claim. Ratings are based on
the evaluator’s opinion, not the ratee. He does not have the support from
his rating chain to upgrade his report. 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. He has not substantiated the contested report
was not rendered in good faith by all evaluators based on knowledge
available at the time.
The complete evaluation is at Exhibit C.
AFPC/DPPPWB defers to the recommendation of DPPPEP.
The complete evaluation is at Exhibit D.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the applicant on 22
Sep 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. The applicant contends the contested EPR
is unjust and should be removed from his records. After reviewing the
documentation provided by the applicant and the evidence of record, the
Board finds no persuasive evidence showing that the applicant was rated
unfairly, that the report is in error, or that the evaluators were biased
and prejudiced against the applicant. In our opinion, the evaluators were
responsible for assessing the applicant’s performance during the period in
question and are presumed to have rendered his evaluations based on their
observation of the applicant’s performance. Therefore, we agree with the
opinions and recommendations of the Air Force offices of primary
responsibility and adopt their 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...
