RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF: 	DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-00986
					COUNSEL:  NONE
		HEARING DESIRED:  NO 


APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His AF Form 910, Enlisted Performance Report (EPR) (AB thru 
TSgt) section V, Overall Performance Assessment rendered for the 
period 30 Jan 12 thru 29 Jan 13, be changed from an overall 
rating of “3” to “4.”


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

His EPR markings on the front (Above Average/Clearly Exceeds) do 
not correlate to the overall rating (Average) he received on the 
back.  

In support of his request, the applicant provides a copy of his 
AF Form 910.

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


AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSID recommends denial.  The applicant has not provided 
sufficient, substantiating documentation or evidence to prove 
his assertions that the contested report was rendered unfairly 
or unjustly, and has merely offered his view of events as he 
believes them to be true. 

The applicant did not file an appeal through the Evaluation 
Report Appeals Board (ERAB) under the provisions of AFI 36-2406, 
Officer and Enlisted Evaluation Systems, dated 3 Jan 13, due to 
his separation from active duty.  

The applicant may believe an error or injustice has occurred; 
however, the markings do not directly translate to the overall 
rating on the evaluation, but rather reflects the performance 
assessment of the member.  The applicant has provided no 
evidence to show that the EPR was inaccurate or unjust and, 
therefore, the EPR is accurate as written.  Furthermore, a final 
review of the contested evaluation was accomplished by the 
additional rater and a subsequent agreement by the 
reviewer/commander served as a final “check and balance” in 
order to ensure the report was given fair consideration in 
accordance with the established intent of the current Officer 
and Enlisted Evaluation System in place.

The applicant has failed to provide a re-accomplished EPR, along 
with signed memorandums of support/justification from the 
original evaluators at the time.  AFI 36-2406, states the Board 
will not consider nor approve requests to change evaluator’s 
ratings or comments if the evaluator does not support the 
change.  

Air Force policy is that an evaluation report is accurate as 
written when it becomes a matter of record.  Additionally, it is 
considered to represent the rating chain’s best judgment at the 
time it is rendered.   To effectively challenge an evaluation, 
it is necessary to hear from all members of the rating chain—not 
only for support, but also for clarification/explanation.  The 
applicant has failed to provide any information or clarification 
from all the rating officials on the contested report.  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 substantiated that the contested report 
was not rendered accurately and in good faith by all evaluators 
based on knowledge available at the time. 

The complete DPSID 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 2 Feb 15, for review and comment within 30 days 
(Exhibit C).  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.  Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to 
demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice.  We took 
notice of the applicant’s complete submission in judging the 
merits of the case; however, we agree with the opinion and 
recommendation of the Air Force office of primary responsibility 
and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion the 
applicant has not been the victim of an error of injustice.  

Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find 
no basis to recommend granting the requested relief.


THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:

The applicant be notified the evidence presented did not 
demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; the 
application was denied without a personal appearance; and the 
application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of 
newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this 
application.


The following members of the Board considered AFBCMR Docket 
Number BC-2014-00986 in Executive Session on 12 Mar 15, under 
the provisions of AFI 36-2603:

	Panel Chair
