                       RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2006-03291
            INDEX CODE:

            COUNSEL:  NONE

            HEARING DESIRED: NO




_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

The Enlisted Performance Report (EPR) dated 2 June 2005 to 1 June 2006
be removed from his record.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

The markings on the EPR are totally inconsistent with his  performance
over the rating period especially in view of the  awards  he  and  his
section won.   He  won  the  Air  Combat  Command  (ACC)  Professional
Provider of the Year for 2005.  The 20 LRS commander coined  him.   He
won Superior Performer of the month  for  November  2005  and  he  was
submitted for Stripes for Exceptional Performers (STEP) and many other
awards.  The people in his section  received  many  awards  and  their
Logistics Standardization and Evaluation Team (LSET) in April 2006 was
flawless.  Further, the dates the EPR indicates he  received  feedback
are incorrect.

In support of his appeal, the applicant has provided copies of the EPR
in question  and  nominations  for  two  awards:  The  Lance  P  Sijan
Leadership Award and the STEP program.

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

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

Applicant is currently serving in the Regular Air Force as a technical
sergeant with a date of rank (DOR) of 1 September 2001. His Expiration
Term of Service (ETS) is currently 5 October 2009.

_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPPPEP recommends denial.  DPPPEP states the  applicant  did  not
file an appeal under the provisions of Air Force Instruction (AFI) 36-
2401, Correcting Officer and Enlisted Evaluation Reports.  He contends
his feedback dates are incorrect yet  fails  to  provide  the  correct
dates.  He also failed to provide  any  documentation  supporting  his
claim the EPR was inaccurate or unjust as written.

Air Force policy on correcting EPR’s is that an  EPR  is  accurate  as
written when the report becomes a matter of  record.   To  effectively
challenge an EPR the applicant must provide clear evidence the EPR was
unjust or inaccurate and he must provide a  substitute  report  and/or
supporting documentation signed by all the original evaluators on  the
report.  He provided no such documents.

DPPPEP’s complete evaluation is at Exhibit C.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

Applicant states he is currently applying to have his EPR  removed  in
accordance  with  AFI  36-2401,  Correcting   Officer   and   Enlisted
Evaluation Reports.  He contends he is  also  corresponding  with  his
Congressman.

_________________________________________________________________

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.   We  took  notice  of   the
applicant's complete submission in judging the  merits  of  the  case;
however, 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.  As EPR’s are considered accurate as written  when
they become a matter of record, we noted he has  thus  far  failed  to
submit further information including clear  evidence  the  report  was
unjust or inaccurate, a substitute report, and/or signed support  from
all evaluators in the  rating  chain  who  signed  the  original  EPR.
Therefore, in the absence of evidence to  the  contrary,  we  find  no
compelling basis to recommend  granting  the  relief  sought  in  this
application.

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:

The  applicant  be  notified  that  the  evidence  presented  did  not
demonstrate the existence of 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 applicant did not file an appeal under the provisions of AFI 36- 2401, Correcting Officer and Enlisted Evaluation Reports. Evaluators should consider each section of the evaluation when determining the final rating of the member. As for the letter from his rater to Major W--- --- RCG/RSC dated 14 Feb 02 that outlined his successful nurse recruiting efforts totally conflicts with the rating in section III of the EPR.
