APPLICANT REQUESTS: That the documents pertaining to her noncommissioned officer evaluation report (NCOER) appeal, for the NCOER dated December 1996 – November 1997, be removed from the restricted fiche of her Official Military Personnel File (OMPF).
APPLICANT STATES: That the appeal was found to be “unsubstantiated” and filed as part of her restricted fiche. This gives the appearance that there were disciplinary actions taken against her. There is nothing in Army Regulation 623-205 that states that appeals and supporting documentation will be permanently maintained in a soldier’s restricted fiche. As supporting evidence she provides: the Enlisted Special Review Board’s (ESRB’s) decision that the evidence did not justify altering or withdrawing the NCOER for the period December 1996 – November 1997; the U. S. Army Enlisted Records and Evaluation Center’s memorandum dated 18 July 2000 informing her that a copy of that memorandum and the appeal correspondence would be entered on the restricted portion of her OMPF; and an extract from Army Regulation 623-205.
EVIDENCE OF RECORD: The applicant's military records are not available. Information contained herein was obtained from alternate sources.
The applicant, a Staff Sergeant, E-6, received an NCOER for the period December 1996 – November 1997. She appealed the NCOER. On 30 June 2000, the ESRB disapproved her appeal. The appeal correspondence was filed on her restricted fiche.
Army Regulation 600-8-104 prescribes the policies for the Military Personnel Information Management/Records Program of the military personnel system.
In pertinent part it describes the composition of the OMPF and further states that NCOERs will be filed on the soldier’s performance fiche with any authorized enclosures. It also states that the document that announces the decision that denies or partially denies an evaluation report appeal will be filed on the performance fiche. Allied documents in an evaluation report appeal will be filed on the restricted fiche when a memorandum for record is filed on the performance fiche. Once placed in the OMPF (whether on the performance, service, or restricted fiche), a document becomes a permanent part of that file. The document will not be removed from a fiche or moved to another part of the fiche unless directed by certain agencies, including this Board. The restricted fiche is used for historical data that may normally be improper for viewing by selection boards or career managers. The release of information on this fiche is controlled.
Army Regulation 623-205 prescribes the noncommissioned officer evaluation function of the military personnel system. Paragraph 4-5 states that the appeal reviewing agency notifies each appellant by letter of the decision on his or her appeal. When an appeal is denied, a copy of the letter of notification is filed in the performance data section of the OMPF performance fiche. The appeal correspondence that resulted in a denied or a partially approved appeal will be placed on the OMPF restricted fiche.
DISCUSSION: Considering all the evidence, allegations, and information presented by the applicant, together with the evidence of record, applicable law and regulations, it is concluded:
1. In order to justify correction of a military record the applicant must show to the satisfaction of the Board, or it must otherwise satisfactorily appear, that the record is in error or unjust. The applicant has failed to submit evidence that would satisfy this requirement.
2. In accordance with Army Regulation 600-8-104, all documents filed on the OMPF are filed permanently. The NCOER appeal correspondence is properly filed on the applicant’s restricted fiche. It would be inequitable to remove this correspondence as all other individuals who submit NCOER appeals which are subsequently denied also have the appeal correspondence filed on their restricted fiche.
3. In view of the foregoing, there is no basis for granting the applicant's request.
DETERMINATION: The applicant has failed to submit sufficient relevant evidence to demonstrate the existence of probable error or injustice.

He hereby requests that the Board remove the negative NCOER from his "R" fiche, of his OMPF for the same reasons as he sent to the NCOER Appeal board. The administrative error was that the SR listed on the NCOER was not the officer that served in that position during the rating period. Second, he never saw the NCOER.

The Board considered the following evidence: Exhibit A - Application for correction of military records. However, the ESRB partially approved the applicant’s appeal on 21 January 2000 and directed: a. that USAEREC will change Part IVc (Height) of the contested report from 64 inches to 66 inches; b. that promotion reconsideration is not warranted because of the change in height; c. that the rating officials on the contested report are correct; d. that the supporting documentation submitted...

APPLICANT REQUESTS: In effect, that all documents relating to his request for correction/removal from his Official Military Personnel File (OMPF) of a Noncommissioned Officer Evaluation Report (NCOER) for the period February 1994 through January 1995 be removed from the restricted portion (R-Fiche) of his OMPF; that the NCOERs on file in his record dating from 1 July 1996 be corrected to reflect service in the rank and pay grade of sergeant first class/E-7, (SFC/E-7), vice staff sergeant/E-6...

In a 23 December 1997 memorandum to the Army Enlisted Records and Evaluation Center, an Army captain, a legal assistance attorney at Fort Bragg, stated that after a careful review of the applicant's NCOER, the QMP appeal packet, and the investigatory letter drafted by the applicant's brigade commander, that it was clear that the NCOER was unjustly tainted by the unproven accusation of the applicant's accuser, and was not based on the applicant's performance during the period. The ESRB...

In January 1997, he filed an appeal with the ESRB to have the two contested NCOERs removed. However, although the applicant performed duties as a First Sergeant, he was a recruiter. Correction of the applicant's contested NCOERs to show they were relief- for-cause NCOERs rather than change-of-rater NCOERs would not have resulted in a reasonable chance he would have been selected for promotion (thereby warranting consideration by a STAB).

APPLICANT STATES : In effect, that she submitted an appeal to the Enlisted Special Review Board (ESRB) requesting correction of an NCOER for the period of August 1993 to July 1994 and the removal of three NCOERs covering the periods from June 1995 to May 1996, June 1996 to October 1996 and November 1996 to October 1997. The applicant submitted an appeal of an NCOER covering the period from August 1993 to July 1994 and the three contested NCOER’s to the ESRB. After reviewing the evidence...

EVIDENCE OF RECORD : The applicant's military records show: Army Regulation 600-8-104 serves as the authority for filing of documents in the OMPF. Paragraph 4-7 of that regulation states, in pertinent part, that when submitting an appeal, the burden of proof rests with the applicant and that he or she must produce evidence that establishes clearly and convincingly that action is warranted to correct a material error, inaccuracy, or injustice.

The applicant requests, in effect, removal of his Relief from Annual Training (REFRAT) Noncommissioned Officer Evaluation Report (NCOER) covering the period January 2001 to February 2001 from his Official Military Personnel File (OMPF). AHRC indicated that their records did not indicate that the applicant ever appealed the NCOER in question, and suggested that he prepare an NCOER appeal per Army Regulation 623-205, chapter 6. The ESRB indicated that the applicant was retired and he had...

The applicant requests, in effect, that his last Noncommissioned Officer Evaluation Report (NCOER) for the period June 1983 through May 1984 be removed from his Performance (P) fiche of his Official Military Personnel File (OMPF). The applicant's military records show that he enlisted in the Regular Army on 26 May 1962, with prior military service. The Board determined that the evidence presented and the merits of this case are insufficient to warrant the relief requested, and therefore,...
