IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2008-01890
            INDEX CODE:  111.02
      XXXXXXX    COUNSEL:  NONE
            HEARING DESIRED:  NO

_______________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

The last bullet in section VI  of  her  Officer  Performance  Report  (OPR)
rendered for the period of 24 January 2004 through 9 January 2005 be voided
from her records.

_______________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

Pregnancy was the reason for duties not involving flying (DNIF) and  is  an
unjust statement.  Her rater did not address this statement with her  prior
to writing the OPR.

In support of her request, the applicant provided a copy of  the  contested
report and an AF Form 422, Physical Profile Serial Report.

Her complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.

_______________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant was commissioned in the Regular Air Force on 29 May 2002  and
was progressively promoted to the grade  of  captain  having  assumed  that
grade effective and with a date of rank of 29 May 2006.

The following is a resume of the applicant’s OPR profile:

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:


AFPC/DPSIDEP recommends denial.   DPSIDEP  states  the  Evaluation  Reports
Appeals Board (ERAB) reviewed  her  request  and  recommended  denial.   It
appears she is under the assumption that  because  she  was  pregnant,  the
mentioning of being DNIF is unjust.  Unfortunately not; the  fact  is,  she
was DNIF; the reason why  does  not  matter,  a  male  counterpart  has  no
exceptions; why would there be for pregnancy.  Now had the report mentioned
that she was DNIF due to pregnancy, she  would  have  a  viable  reason  to
appeal, because specific medical information should not be discussed in  an
evaluation.  Unfortunately for her, the report does  not  mention  she  was
pregnant.  She also contends that her rater did not discuss  the  statement
with her before the report became a matter of record.   Unfortunately,  the
rater was not required to discuss the content of the report with  her,  and
by not doing so did not violate Air Force policy.  In  fact  the  rater  is
prohibited in providing a copy to the ratee  until  the  report  becomes  a
matter of record.  Furthermore,  the  content  of  the  report  is  at  the
discretion of the rater and not the ratee.  The  report  is  acceptable  as
written.  The report contains no errors, did not violate policy and is  not
unjust.  In fact it would be an injustice to her male counterparts to  have
the statement removed since there are no exceptions as to when you can  and
cannot mention DNIF in an evaluation.


The complete DPSIDEP evaluation is at Exhibit B.

_______________________________________________________________

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to applicant  on  11  July
2008 for review and response.  As  of  this  date,  no  response  has  been
received by this office (Exhibit C).

_______________________________________________________________

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 an  error  or  injustice.   We  took  careful  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.  We  are  not  persuaded  by  the  evidence  provided  that  the
contested report is not a true and accurate assessment of her  demonstrated
potential during the specified time period or that the  comments  contained
in the report were in error or contrary to the provisions of the  governing
instruction.  Therefore, in the  absence  of  persuasive  evidence  to  the
contrary, we find no compelling basis  to  recommend  granting  the  relief
sought in this application.

_______________________________________________________________

RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD:

The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did  not  demonstrate
the existence of 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.
