RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2010-01551 

COUNSEL: NONE 

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

Her Enlisted Performance Report (EPR) for the period 2 July 2007 
through 1 July 2008 be corrected in Section V, Overall 
Performance Assessment, to include markings under the Section 
titled “Truly Among the Best (5),” for the Rater’s assessment and 
the Additional Rater’s assessment. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

While using her records to prepare a decoration package, it was 
noticed that her 2008 EPR had been closed out without any 
markings in Section V on the back of the form. The report was 
“Firewall 5s” and needs to be corrected before she retires. 

 

In support of her application, the applicant provides a copy of 
the contested EPR, and her retirement order. 

 

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

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

The applicant retired from the Regular Air Force effective 
31 August 2010 in the grade of master sergeant (E-7). She served 
23 years, 6 months, and 27 days on active duty. The following is 
a resume of the applicant’s performance ratings:

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFPC/DPSIDEP recommends denial. DPSIDEP states the applicant did 
not file an appeal through the Evaluation Reports and Appeals 
Board (ERAB) under the provisions of Air Force Instruction 36-
2401, Correcting Officer and Enlisted Evaluation Reports; 
however, the ERAB reviewed the applicant’s request and 
recommended denial as they were not convinced the contested 
report was inaccurate or unjust. 

 

On 9 June 2010, DPSIDEP returned the applicant’s package and 
requested she obtain a statement from her evaluators to verify 
what the rating is since one was not provided. However, they 
have not received a response from the applicant. 

 

DPSIDEP indicates the applicant blames her Squadron Personnel 
Technician and AFPC for the error, although the applicant 
reviewed and signed the EPR herself. Since the EPR is not 
completed in accordance with Air Force Instruction 36-2406 and 
the applicant has failed to provide the required documentation, 
the EPR should be removed and replaced with an Air Force Form 77, Letter of Evaluation, with the following statement “Report for 
the period 2 July 2007 through 1 July 2008 is not available for 
administrative reasons.” 

 

DPSIDEP indicates the Military Personnel System (MilPDS) reflects 
the contested report has an overall rating of “5.” 

 

The DPPPR 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 15 October 2010 for review and response within 30 days. As of 
this date, this office has received no response. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

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 an injustice. We note 
the applicant was asked to provide a statement from her 
evaluators to verify what the rating should be on the contested 
report since one was not provided. However, the applicant has 
not responded. We also note AFPC/DPSIDEP’s recommendation that 
since the EPR in question was not completed in accordance with 
the governing instruction, it should be removed and replaced with 
an AF Form 77. We disagree. Since the report is now a matter of 
record and the applicant has since retired, we believe the 
contested report to be more beneficial to the applicant as 
written than replacing it with an Air Force Form 77. In 
addition, while we note MilPDS reflects a numerical rating of “5” 
as the overall performance assessment as contended by the 
applicant, we are not inclined to correct the report absent 
support from the rating chain. Accordingly, in the absence of 
evidence to the contrary, we find no 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.

    Therefore, an Air Force Form 77, Letter of Evaluation, has been placed in his record explaining the report is missing but the overall rating was a “3.” Without a copy of the report, they are unable to determine whether the Article 15 was mentioned or whether it was the basis for the overall rating of “3.” Additionally, without a copy of the report, or statements from the evaluators, they cannot confirm whether the report contained inaccurate information or not; therefore, the MilPDS update...

    Additionally, unit commanders may request an extension of the close-out date, when an individual is required to fitness test immediately preceding the EPR close-out date and fails to meet fitness standards. It appears the applicant contends that he was injured during the 22 Sep 08 PT test, and the test should be invalidated and the EPR closing on 9 Oct 08 should be declared void and removed from his records. Further, the Board is not persuaded the EPR should be voided, since he failed the...
