RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2010-00762
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: YES
________________________________________________________________
THE APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her Enlisted Performance Report (EPR) rendered for the period
from 8 February 2008 through 1 October 2008 be changed to
reflect the correct inclusive dates, remove duplicate bullet
statements, and reflect the correct dates of supervision.
By email, the applicant requested that the contested report be
removed.
________________________________________________________________
THE APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The previous EPR closing in February 2008 and the October 2008
change of rating official (CRO) is evidence of the incorrect
inclusive dates and duplicate bullet statements. The initial
performance feedback worksheet and statement, documents the CRO
action from her previous supervisor. The report should reflect
supervision with the CRO report beginning on 6 June 2008 through
1 October 2008, for a total of 118 days and not enough days of
supervision to complete a CRO report.
She contacted her rating chain and they made various attempts to
contact her supervisor to make the requested corrections;
however, her supervisor would not make the requested changes.
She filed an appeal through the Evaluation Reports Appeals Board
(ERAB) to have the report removed; however, her request was
denied.
In support of her appeal, the applicant provides a copy of her
EPRs closing 15 February 2008 and 1 October 2008 (validating the
duplicate bullet statements; a copy of her initial performance
feedback worksheet and feedback statement, dated 5 June 2008
(validating that a CRO occurred), and a letter from her first
sergeant (validating her attempts to have the reports
corrected).
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.

________________________________________________________________
THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIDEP recommends denial of the applicants request to
void the report, but, in the alternative, they recommend the
report be replaced with the reaccomplished report.
After reviewing the applicants request, they found that the
start date was incorrect; that the number of days of supervision
appeared to be incorrect; and the report did contain several
duplicate bullets. However, in accordance with (IAW) Air Force
Instruction (AFI) 36-2401, Correcting Officer and Enlisted
Reports, para 1.3.1., AFPC/DPSIDEP will not void a report when
the error or injustice can be corrected administratively.
They contacted the applicants rater, who in turn provided
replacement bullets and an explanation on the number of days of
supervision; that although there was some contemplation of a
6 June 2008 CRO, it was determined to be in the best interest of
the applicant not to CRO her at that time and the CRO did not
take place.
The complete AFPC/DPSIDEP evaluation, with attachments, is at
Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant on 30 April 2010 for review and comment within 30 days
(Exhibit D).
By email, the applicant amended her request to have the
contested report removed (Exhibit E).
________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by
existing law or regulations.
2. The application was timely filed.
3. Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to
demonstrate the existence of error or injustice warranting
corrective action. We took notice of the applicants complete
submission, including the statement by her first sergeant in
support of her appeal. Additionally, we considered the
applicants amendment to her application to try to have the
contested report removed; however, we did not find evidence to
support her request for removal of the report. The Air Force
office of primary responsibility (OPR) has adequately addressed
the applicants issues and we are in agreement with their
opinion and recommendation to have the report replaced with the
reaccomplished report. Accordingly, we recommend her record be
corrected to the extent indicated below.
4. The applicant's case is adequately documented and it has not
been shown that a personal appearance with or without counsel
will materially add to our understanding of the issue(s)
involved. Therefore, the request for a hearing is not favorably
considered.
________________________________________________________________

Force relating to APPLICANT, be corrected to show that:

While Air Force policy requires performance feedback for personnel, a direct correlation between the information provided during a feedback session, and the assessment on evaluation reports does not necessarily exist. As of this date, this office has received no response (Exhibit C). 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...

DPSIDEP states the Air Force does not require the designated rater to be the ratee’s immediate supervisor. DPSIDEP notes the statement provided by the applicant was written by a member of the Air National Guard not assigned to his squadron. Exhibit C. Letter, SAF/MRBR, dated 26 Feb 10.

Unfortunately, in this case, she did receive an initial feedback, and as explained in the rater’s statement the midterm feedback was not accomplished due to her deployment; however the rater states he did provide verbal feedback. ________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to applicant on 25 July 2008 for review and response. ...
Noting the rater’s statement of support, DPPPA stated the rater indicates he decided to change his evaluation and overall rating based on “performance feedback that was not available during the time of her rating considerations and post discussions with one of her past supervisors.” The rater has not stated what he knows now that he did not know when the original EPR was prepared. Applicant’s complete response is at Exhibit...

Unfortunately the applicant provided nothing from the evaluators even after the information was requested. Since DPSIDEP cannot confirm that the feedback was not accomplished, DPSIDEP considers the report to be accurate and points out, that the latest version of the evaluation forms now requires ratees to sign the report, unless there is an absence, and in this case, the ratee was deployed. DPSIDEP could correct the feedback information via the Evaluation Reports Appeal Board (ERAB);...

Also during that time his supervisor conducted his initial performance feedback which was incorrectly written and marked as a midterm performance feedback while the memo for record (MFR) states it was an initial feedback and it was conducted with almost 90 days of supervision completed.
