Heading: Lack of an OER for the Eleven Months prior to January 31, 1989

Text: 76 The absence of an OER for the eleven-month period from March 8, 1988, to January 31, 1989, prior to Mr. Roth's involuntary discharge, was the direct result of the initial violation of AFR 36-10, paragraph 3-14(a), for Mr. Roth would not have been separated had his March 1984 OER not been improperly downgraded. In addition, the failure to provide Mr. Roth an OER for this period constituted a violation of AFR 36-10, table 3-1, note 4 (Aug. 1, 1988). That provision mandates that a separated officer receive an OER unless his separation is either voluntary or for misconduct under AFR 36-2, neither of which applied to Mr. Roth. In view of AFR 36-10, this military decision is justiciable. 77 The AFMPC admitted this violation, and offered that the Board could order a form to be placed in Mr. Roth's record indicating that no rating was available for the eleven-month period through no fault of Mr. Roth's. Memorandum from the AFMPC to the Board at 4. We agree, and we affirm the Court of Federal Claims' decision to order the placement of an AF Form 77 in Mr. Roth's record with language to the effect that a report for this period is not available for administrative reasons which were not the fault of [Mr. Roth].
