evidence submitted was insufficient to establish the existence of probable material error or
injustice. In this connection, the Board substantially concurred with the comments contained

reporting senior was not fully aware, when preparing the contested original fitness report, of
the matters cited in the narrative of the supplemental report to support the two new “5.0”

1. Enclosure (1) is returned. The member requests the removal of his original fitness report for
the period 1 February 1997 to 31 January 1998 and replace it with a supplemental report for the
same period.
2. Based on our review of the material provided, we find the following:
a. A review of the member
’s headquarters record revealed the report in question and the
supplemental report to be on file. The member signed the reports acknowledging the contents of
each and his right to submit a statement. The member did not desire to submit a statement.
b. The fitness report is a Periodic/Regular report. The member feels that the supplemental
report for the period in question should replace the original report, due to the reporting senior
stating “wrongfully indicated a decreasing performance trend.
”
c. The reporting senior has submitted, and we have accepted and filed the supplemental
report. The fact that the revision is a better report should have no bearing on whether the original
is retained or removed: W e make provisions for the submission of supplementary material
concerning fitness reports so that the reporting senior may clarify, amend, or correct a report.
Substitution of the revised report for the original should only be approved in unusual
circumstances. The original and revised reports are filed together with the letter of transmittal.
