RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-02208
	XXXXXXX	COUNSEL:  NONE
		HEARING DESIRED:  NO

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

1.  His Enlisted Performance Report (EPR), rendered for the 
period 2 Jun 2009 through 1 Jun 2010, be replaced.

2.  The unsigned EPR rendered for the period 2 Jun 2007 through 
1 Jun 2008 be replaced with a signed copy. (Administratively 
Corrected)

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

The EPR he received in 2010 does not properly reflect two awards 
he received in 2008.  He was an award winner and that 
information was never included in his EPR.  His award should be 
annotated on the EPR and his ratings should be adjusted 
accordingly.

His 2008 EPR was not signed by all raters, therefore, does not 
reflect an accurate report/rating.

In support of his request, the applicant provides copies of his 
EPRs rendered for the period 2 Jun 2009 through 1 Jun 2010 and 
2 Jun 2007 through 1 Jun 2008 as well as memorandums for the 
Evaluation Reports Appeal Board (ERAB).

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

________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The relevant facts pertaining to this application are described 
in the letter prepared by the Air Force office of primary 
responsibility at Exhibit C.

_____________________________________________________________




AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSID recommends denial of the applicant’s request to 
replace the Enlisted Performance Report (EPR), rendered for the 
period 2 Jun 2009 through 1 Jun 2010.  DPSID states that the 
applicant did file an appeal through the ERAB under the 
provisions of AFI 36-2401, Correcting Officer and Enlisted 
Evaluation Reports; however, the ERAB was not convinced there 
was a material error in the content of the 1 Jun 2010 report and 
denied the applicant's request for relief.  Moreover, an 
evaluation report is considered to represent the rating chain's 
best judgment at the time it is rendered.  Once a report is 
accepted for file, only strong evidence to the contrary warrants 
correction or removal from an individual's record.  The 
applicant has not provided any compelling evidence to show that 
the report is unjust or inaccurate as written.  Although the 
awards not being reflected in his EPR may be a valid request, 
the awards were in fact from the 4th Quarter of 2008 and an 
annual award from 2008 and thereby should have been properly 
included in his 1 Jun 2009 close-out EPR, rather than the 1 Jun 
2010 report.  The 2010 report filed as a matter of record 
currently has two mark downs; therefore, it appears that the 
applicant desires to substitute this report to justify the 
marking change resulting in a "firewall 5" EPR.  It also appears 
the applicant would rather not correct the proper report (2009) 
due to the fact that it is already a "firewall 5" EPR.  
Notwithstanding the above, DPSID urges the Board to recommend 
correcting the 2009 report to add the applicant’s award 
accomplishments as it is a more appropriate time frame.  
Regarding his request to replace his EPR rendered for the period 
2 Jun 2007 through 1 Jun 2008, DPSID located a digitally signed 
copy of his EPR and it has been forwarded to the Automated 
Records Management System for inclusion.

The complete DPSID evaluation is at Exhibit C.

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

On 6 Dec 2013, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded 
to the applicant for review and comment within 30 days.  As of 
this date, no response has been received by this office (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.  Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to 
demonstrate the existence of an error or an injustice to warrant 
replacing the applicant’s EPR rendered for the period 2 Jun 
2009 through 1 Jun 2010.  We note that the Air Force Office of 
Primary Responsibility (OPR) has adequately addressed his 
request and we are in agreement with their recommendation.  
Therefore, other than the administration correction noted by the 
OPR, we find no basis upon which to recommend favorable 
consideration of his request.

4.  Notwithstanding the above, sufficient relevant evidence has 
been presented to demonstrate the existence of an error or 
injustice to warrant partial relief.  We note that the OPR 
recommends that the EPR rendered for the period 2 Jun 
2008 through 1 Jun 2009 be corrected to add the applicant’s 
award accomplishments and we agree with their recommendation.  
Accordingly, we recommend the applicant's records be corrected 
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 place a revised AF 
Form 910, Enlisted Performance Report (AB thru TSgt), rendered 
for the period 2 Jun 2008 through 1 Jun 2009, correcting only 
Section VI, Additional Rater’s Comments, Line 3 to read 
“Recognized leader; SQ NCO 4th qrtr 108 & 55th Electronic Combat 
Group 108 AFE NCO of the year...promote!” rather than 
“Recognized NCO; won 386 EOG 1st Sergeants "Diamond Sharp" 
Awd/"coined" by EOG/CC--promote ASAP!”

    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.
