The OSRB noted the applicant signed the contested OER validating the rating chain and that he had seen the report in its entirety. The OER was referred to the applicant who provided a rebuttal, but did not raise the contention that the assessment was the result of reprisal.
a. Notwithstanding the applicant's contentions, he authenticated Part II of the contested OER indicating the administrative data was correct and that he had seen the OER. Under the governing regulation, administrative data includes the identity of the rated officer, the period of the report, and the reason for submitting the report.
b. The applicant also placed his "X" in block IId indicating that he would provide comment in response to this referred OER. He provided comments, which were considered by the SR.
c. Although the entire CI is not available, the Board noted a CI was conducted which essentially concluded that the personality conflict with the rater caused the adverse OER [the contested OER] and that it [the contested OER] should be removed if appealed.
d. The applicant appealed the contested OER to the OSRB. However, the OSRB, contrary to the findings of the CI, concluded that there was no evidence provided that shows the rater failed to render a fair and accurate assessment. The OSRB denied the applicant's appeal because the applicant did not provide and the OSRB did not find elsewhere the necessary evidence to delete or amend the contested report.
3. Based on the foregoing, this Board concluded:
a. The contested OER properly covered the rated period of the applicant's service.
b. The applicant exercised his rights in regard to submission of comments in response to a referred OER.
c. The applicant exercised his rights to a CI.
d. The applicant exercised his right to appeal the contested OER.
e. The applicant's rights have been observed throughout the referral, CI and appeal processes.
4. Based on all of the foregoing, the Board has determined that the applicant has exercised his rights in regard to the contested OER; however, it is apparent that he disagrees with the decisions resulting from the appeal process. The Board finds that the applicant’s disagreement with the decisions of the SR, the OSRB and Department of the Army officials who filed the contested OER is not a basis to conclude that the contested OER is unjustified, unsubstantiated, inaccurate, and without merit.
5. The Board noted the applicant's contention that his adverse OER was tendered to cover up injustices done to another officer whom he defended.
a. However, the applicant provided only self-authored statements and one sworn statement, which he made during a commander’s inquiry initiated by the officer he claims to have defended.

APPLICANT STATES : In a three page memorandum to the Army Board for Correction of Military Records (ABCMR), that the OER for the period 13 July 1996 to 5 May 1997 [hereafter referred to as the contested OER], is substantively inaccurate and an unjust evaluation of his performance and potential.

The contested OER was completed by the correct rating officials.

ARMY | BCMR | CY2006 | 20060010667
Part VIIc (Comment on Performance/Potential) of the contested report shows the SR concluded as a result of the applicant's request to be removed from his position as the Division G-4 in the face of our upcoming deployment to Iraq, "I" directed his relief. The Rater stated he informed the applicant that he was being relieved of his duties and presented the applicant the contested report.

21 Under Part Va (Performance and Potential Evaluation), three of the raters placed the applicant in the first block (Outstanding Performance, Must Promote), except for the contested OER, with positive comments on specific aspects of the applicant's performance except for the contested OER. If the rated officer's potential is below the majority of officers in the senior rater's population for that grade and the senior rater believes the rated officer should be retained for further...

The applicant requests correction of his records through counsel. Paragraph 3-20 of Army Regulation 623-105 states, in pertinent part, that Part V of the form provides for the rater's evaluation of the rated officer's performance and potential. There is no evidence and the applicant has not provided sufficient evidence which shows the contested report did not accurately reflect the SR's considered opinion and objective judgment of the applicant's performance and potential at the time the...

APPLICANT STATES : Through her counsel that the contested OER is fatally flawed because it is a “below center of mass OER which pursuant to AR 623-105 should have been referred and was not, and therefore denied the applicant an opportunity for a commander’s inquiry.” Counsel presents the applicant’s request for reconsideration and new request for relief, evidence contentions, and conclusions in a ten-page memorandum to the Army Board for Correction of Military Records (ABCMR) with numbered...
ARMY | BCMR | CY2002 | 2002072408C070403
As division administrative and leadership issues emerged through this rating period, it became apparent that this officer placed his well being ahead of that of his subordinates. This relief for cause report was directed based on [applicant's] inability to meet accepted professional officer standards as outlined in this report. In Part Ve, Comment on Potential, the rater stated that the applicant would best serve the Army Medical Department in positions not requiring management or...
