RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF: 			DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-00936

						COUNSEL:  NONE

						HEARING DESIRED:  YES 



APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Her AF Form 707, Officer Performance Report (OPR) (Lt thru Col) 
rendered for the period 15 Mar 12 through 15 Feb 13, be removed 
from her official record.


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

The OPR was rendered with prejudice and malicious intentions and 
not consistent with Air Force policies.  

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


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant was serving in the grade of Major (O-4) during the 
matter under review.

The applicant supplied a memorandum from the former 51 FW/CC, 
dated 20 Feb 14, who was the applicant’s Senior Rater and also 
the Reviewer for the OPR for the period of 15 Mar 12 through 
15 Feb 13.  In this memo, he states that shortly after the OPR 
close out period an Inspector General (IG) investigation was 
conducted and brought the contents of the OPR into question.  He 
would not have concurred with the OPR as written had he known 
about the information revealed by the IG.

On 27 Nov 14, the applicant retired from the Regular Air Force 
in the grade of Major (O-4).  


AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSIDE recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of 
an error or an injustice.  The Air Force Board for Correction of 
Military Records (AFBCMR) is the highest level of 
administrative appeal within the Department of the Air Force and 
will not consider a case until all avenues administrative 
relief have been exhausted.  The applicant will need to 
submit an AF Form 948, Application for Correction/Removal of 
Evaluation Reports, with all required supporting documentation, 
through the vMPF/Evaluation Appeals found under the Most Popular 
Applications.  In accordance with (IAW) AFI 36-2401, paragraph 
1.1.3, the Evaluation Reports Appeal Board (ERAB) works under the 
assumption that evaluation reports are accurate and objective.  
Therefore, the applicant must provide strong evidence to overcome 
the report’s presumed validity.  In addition, paragraphs A1.2 and 
A2.3 state when documenting the appeal, the applicant must 
provide convincing documentation for the appeal; the applicant 
must offer clear evidence that the original evaluation was unjust 
or wrong; and quality, not quantity of documentation is the 
issue.  The applicant must substantiate any injustice(s) on the 
contested report and provide sufficient supporting documentation 
to validate/confirm any other claims.  The applicant must prove 
the report was not rendered in good faith by all evaluators 
based on knowledge available at the time.  Furthermore, the 
applicant must supply specific information about the unfair 
evaluation for the board to make a reasoned judgment on the 
appeal and show strong evidence to the board when requesting to 
remove a report from the permanent record.

A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSIDE evaluation is at Exhibit C.


APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the 
applicant on 28 Apr 15, for review and comment within 30 days 
(Exhibit D).  As of this date, no response has been received by 
this office.


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.  After a 
thorough review of the facts and circumstances of this case, we 
believe the applicant has been the victim of an injustice.  We 
note the comments of the Air Force office of primary 
responsibility, indicating the applicant has failed to exhaust 
all avenues of administrative relief; however, we note the 
applicant cannot file an appeal through the Evaluation Report 
Appeals Board (ERAB) under the provisions of AFI 36-2406, 
Correcting Officer and Enlisted Evaluation Reports, due to the 
fact she is in retired status and is no longer authorized to 
file an ERAB appeal.  Nevertheless, we believe the applicant has 
raised sufficient doubt regarding the equity and accuracy of the 
contested officer performance report (OPR).  In this respect, we 
note that in support of her contention, the applicant provides 
credible support in the form of a memorandum from her then-
current commander indicating the results of an investigation 
disclosed discrepancies in the creation of her OPR as well as a 
memorandum from her former commander stating he would not have 
concurred with the OPR as written had he known about the 
information revealed by the investigation.  Based on the above, 
we recommend the applicant’s record be corrected as 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 issues involved.  
Therefore, the request for a hearing is not favorably 
considered.


THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:

The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air 
Force relating to the APPLICANT be corrected to show that the AF 
Form 707, Officer Performance Report (Lt thru Col), for the 
period of 15 Mar 12 through 15 Feb 13, be declared void and 
removed from her record.


The following members of the Board considered AFBCMR Docket 
Number BC-2014-00936 in Executive Session on 11 June 15, under 
the provisions of AFI 36-2603:

All members voted to correct the records as recommended.  The 
following documentary evidence pertaining to AFBCMR Docket 
Number BC-2014-00936 was considered:

	Exhibit A.  DD Form 149, dated 22 Feb 14, w/atchs.
	Exhibit B.  Applicant's Master Personnel Records.
	Exhibit C.  Memorandum, AFPC/DPSIDE, dated 2 Feb 15.
	Exhibit D.  Letter, SAF/MRBR, dated 28 Apr 15.
