APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

The AF Form 475, Education/Training Report rendered on her  for  the  period
18 Jun 95  through  12  Apr  96,  be  corrected  to  reflect  “Distinguished

96 and her Fundamentals  of  Intelligence  Course  “Distinguished  Graduate”
Certificate.

* Contested Report

The applicant did not file an appeal under the provisions  of  AFI  36-2401,
Correcting Officer and Enlisted Evaluation Reports,    20 Feb 04.

_________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPPPE recommends denial of the applicant’s request to correct the TR.

The applicant attended a two-part course that consists of  the  Fundamentals
of Intelligence Course (19  weeks)  and  Intelligence  Applications  Officer
Course (14 weeks).  The total course length  is  34  weeks.   The  applicant
received DG for the Fundamentals of Intelligence Course;  however,  she  was
not selected as DG for the Intelligence Applications  Officer  Course.   The
evaluator accurately reflected the member’s DG status by commenting  on  the
fact in Section III of the TR.  The fact  is  the  member  was  DG  for  one
portion of the course not the overall course.   To  mark  the  DG  block  in
Section 3 of the TR would be unfair to all  the  commissioned  officers  who
were/were  not  selected  as  distinguished  graduates  for  both   courses.
Therefore, correcting the TR to mark the DG block of the contested TR  would
make the applicant’s record inaccurate.

Air Force policy is that an evaluation report is accurate  as  written  when
it becomes a matter of  record.   To  effectively  challenge  a  TR,  it  is
necessary to hear from all the members of the rating chain —  not  only  for
support, but also for clarification/explanation.  The applicant  has  failed
to provide any information/support from the rating chain  on  the  contested
TR.  It appears the reports were  accomplished  in  direct  accordance  with
applicable regulations.

The DPPPEP complete evaluation is at Exhibit B.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 27  Apr
07 for review and comment within 30 days.  To date, a response has not  been
received.

_________________________________________________________________

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.   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.

    During his time as a student in the course, a personality conflict existed between himself and the course manager, and he believes the “optional comment” was added to the TR with the intent of reprisal for his withdrawing from the course. Air Force policy is that an evaluation report is accurate as written when it becomes a matter of record. Applicant contends a personality conflict existed between himself and his rater.
