RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2010-04757
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His Enlisted Performance Report (EPR) with a close-out date of
30 Sep 09 be changed to reflect his grade at the close-out date
of the EPR was master sergeant (E-7) rather than senior master
sergeant (E-8).
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
According to the governing regulations, it states
, enter the
grade held on the close-out date; as of the close-out date he
was a master sergeant; therefore, the EPR should be changed to
reflect the correct rank.
In support of his request, the applicant provides a copy of his
EPR, a printout from the Military Personnel Data System (MilPDS),
and e-mail communications.
His complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The relevant facts pertaining to this application are contained
in the letter prepared by the appropriate office of the Air
Force. Accordingly, there is no need to recite these facts in
this Record of Proceedings.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSID recommends approval. DPSID states they have already
administratively corrected his EPR to reflect his rank as a
master sergeant; however, they also recommend making the
following changes: Bullet 3 in both sections VI and VII need to
read SMSgt rather than CMSgt.
The DPSID complete evaluation is at Exhibit B.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The applicant responds by stating that changing the rank in these
promotion statements would completely change the intent of the
bullets. He had already been selected for promotion to senior
master sergeant in March 09 and was projected to sew-on his new
rank in Dec 09; the promotion statement in section III, Block 7,
second bullet reads promotion to SMSgt deserved illustrating
the fact that he was already selected for SMSgt. Additionally,
changing the statements in sections VI and VII would not make
sense either since the promotion statement reads promote first
time eligible to CMSgt and he was selected for promotion to
SMSgt on his third attempt; thus, changing the bullet would cause
the bullet to lose its validity and its intended impact. The
same rationale goes for the promotion bullet in section VII that
reads definitely a future CMSgt! He was two months from sewing
on SMSgt, changing the bullet to read definitely a future
SMSgt! takes away his supervisions intent of highlighting
future promotion consideration. His chain of command was aware
that he was a SMSgt select and was looking toward his future
promotion opportunities. Furthermore, he is not retired as noted
in the AFPC/DPSID letter, but currently serving on active duty.
He asks the Board to consider his request to change his rank from
senior master sergeant to master sergeant and not the recommended
changes by AFPC/DPSID.
The applicants complete submission is at Exhibit D.
_________________________________________________________________
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. Although we
agree with the Air Force office of primary responsibilitys (OPR)
administrative correction of the EPR closing 30 September 2009 to
reflect the applicants grade as master sergeant (E-7), we
believe this is the only correction that should be made to the
report. In that regard, we believe that making the corrections
to the promotion statements in Sections VI and VII suggested by
the Air Force OPR would be adverse to the applicant and change
the rating chains intent. Therefore, we recommend that the
records be corrected only to the extent indicated below.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:
The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force
relating to APPLICANT be corrected to show that corrections to
the Senior Enlisted Performance Report (MSgt through CMSgt),
AF Form 911, rendered for the period 1 October 2008 through
30 September 2009, be restricted to only amending Section I,
Block 3, by changing the grade to MSgt rather than SMSgt.

He retired from the Air Force on 31 Jul 03. DPPP states he was time-in-grade eligible for senior rater endorsement based on the new DOR at the time of the 30 Sep 01 report. In this respect, we note that based on the applicant’s original 1 Jun 01 date of rank (DOR) to the grade of senior master sergeant, he was ineligible for promotion consideration to the grade of chief master sergeant prior to his 31 Jul 03 retirement.

Should the Board choose to correct the record per DPSIDEP’s recommendation, they could direct the applicant be supplementally considered for promotion to CMSgt for cycle 06E9 and 07E9 during the next SNCO Supplemental Board (July 2009). DPSOE states that since the applicant had a weighable report (close out date between 1 August 2005 – 31 July 2006) on file at the time the Board met, he was considered, but not selected, for promotion to CMSgt during cycle 06E9.

The Evaluation Report Appeals Board (ERAB) directed that his EPR closing 29 Jun 06 be replaced; however, he should have been provided supplemental promotion consideration for promotion cycles 07E8 and 08E8. Regarding the applicants contention his EPR covering the period 1 Apr 05 through 30 Sep 06, which is only a matter of record because he requested that it replace another report, was in error because it was not signed by his additional rater at the time in violation of AFI 36-2406, the...

The Senior Rater (who was not an evaluator on the EPR) provided a letter of support only to agree that the reason that feedback was not accomplished is inaccurate. Furthermore, AFI 36-2406, paragraph 2.10 states “A rater’s failure to conduct a required or requested feedback session will not, of itself, invalidate any subsequent performance report.” The complete evaluation is at Exhibit C.
