RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2010-04487
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her Enlisted Performance Report (EPR) for the reporting period of
2 May 2009 through 1 January 2010 be voided.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
Her rater was incorrect on the report. She was never given a
feedback during the reporting period or on the day specified on
the second page of her EPR. The Embassy Canberra closed on
12 October 2009 for Columbus Day. At no time did she receive any
counseling stating that her performance changed from the previous
EPR rating of 5.
She believes her Duty Air Force Specialty Code (DAFSC) is
incorrect and she does not agree with the inconsistencies of the
4 rating. She was told by her Senior Enlisted Advisor that her
rating was a 5 when he reviewed her EPR. The promote now
statement and a rating of 4 is inconsistent with Senior Rater
endorsement.
In support of her request, the applicant provides a personal
statement, a copy of the contested report, letters of
recommendation, correspondence between the applicant and her
rating chain and other supporting documentation.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPAAS addresses the applicants DAFSC. Based on their
review, the applicants DAFSC was 8P100 from 2 June 2008 through
15 February 2010.
The complete DPAAS evaluation is at Exhibit C.
AFPC/DPSIDEP recommends denial. DPSIDEP notes the applicant filed
an appeal through the Evaluation Reports Appeals Board (ERAB);
however, the application was denied.
DPSIDEP states the applicant contends that her rater was incorrect
on her EPR. However, in her supporting documents, she submits e-
mail traffic discussing and confirming when feedback was
conducted. Additionally, AFI 36-2401, Correcting Officer and
Enlisted Evaluation Reports, does not require the designated rater
to be the immediate supervisor.
The applicant also contends her DAFSC was incorrect on her EPR. A
review of the Military Personnel Data System (MILPDS), shows the
applicants DAFSC did not change until 16 February 2010, after the
EPR closed out.
The applicant does not agree with the inconsistencies of the 4
rating. AFI 36-2406, Officer and Enlisted Evaluation Systems,
does not prohibit Senior Rater Endorsement from granting a 4 on
an EPR.
DPSIDEP states an evaluation report is considered to represent the
rating chains best judgment at the time it is rendered. Only
strong evidence warrants correction or removal of a performance
report from an individuals record.
The complete DPSIDEP evaluation is at Exhibit D.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The applicant contends there are multiple administrative errors
and this is an injustice because of her medical condition. The
medical condition was so severe she had to be medically evacuated
to Tripler Army Medical Center in Hawaii in May 2009.
She also states there was confusion as to if she had a rater
assigned to her. She was never given a feedback during this
rating period. The only feedback she was given was in October
2008, when an AF Form 932, Performance Feedback Worksheet, was
typed and handed to her. Additionally, the rating 4 is
inconsistent with Senior Rater endorsement.
She requests that this EPR be voided because it is unjust to
receive an EPR with an unsubstantied 4 rating while in patient
status and no rater assigned.
The applicants complete response, with attachments, is at
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. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to
demonstrate the existence of error or injustice. The applicant's
complete submission was thoroughly reviewed and her contentions
were duly noted. However, we do not find the applicants
assertions and the documentation presented in support of her
appeal sufficiently persuasive to override the rationale provided
by the Air Force offices of primary responsibility (OPRs). The
OPRs have adequately addressed the applicants contentions and we
agree with their opinions and recommendations. Therefore we adopt
the rationale expressed as the basis for our decision that the
applicant has not sustained her burden of having suffered either
an error or an injustice.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS 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.

Section III, Evaluation of Performance, contains ratings marked one block to the left by his rater, the squadron commander, and the additional rater, the group commander, for Duty performance and Managerial Skills. If the applicant had provided some supporting documentation that the feedback date was in error, the ERAB would have corrected the report to reflect the accurate date and/or applicable statement versus voiding the report. The applicant provided no evidence to support his claim.
