RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-05578 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NO APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: Her AF Form 911, Enlisted Performance Report (MSgt thru CMSgt) rendered for the period 2 Jun 08 thru 13 Nov 08, be replaced. APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: Her AF Form 911, section IV, block 4, Training Requirements reflects she earned a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration; however, she earned an Associate’s Degree in Industrial Management Technology. She informed her supervisor about the degree but he must have forgotten. In support of her request, the applicant provides copies of her AF Form 911 and unofficial student transcripts. The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A. STATEMENT OF FACTS: The applicant is currently serving on active duty in the grade of master sergeant. On 31 Jul 14, the applicant was advised that the AFBCMR is the highest administrative level of appeal in the Air Force and that she should exhaust all other available avenues of relief prior to seeking relief through the AFBCMR. AIR FORCE EVALUATION: AFPC/DPSOE recommends denial and states, in part, that the applicant has not exhausted avenues of administrative relief. In this respect, the applicant needs to submit an AF Form 948, Application for Correction/Removal of Evaluation Reports, with all required supporting documentation, through the vMPF/Evaluation Appeals found under the Most Popular Applications. The complete DPSIDE 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 1 Aug 14, for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit C). As of this date, this office has not received a response. THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT: 1. The application was timely filed. 2. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the existence of error or injustice. In this respect, we note this Board is the highest level of administrative appeal within the Air Force. As such, an applicant must first exhaust all available avenues of administrative relief provided by existing law or regulations prior to seeking relief before this Board, as required by the governing Air Force Instruction. The Air Force office of primary responsibility has reviewed this application and indicated there is an available avenue of possible administrative relief the applicant has not exhausted. In view of this, we find that consideration of the applicant’s appeal by this board is not appropriate at this time. Therefore, the applicant is advised that if she is not successful in obtaining the relief she seeks through available administrative channels, she may then consider resubmitting her appeal to this board. THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT: The applicant be notified that she has not exhausted all available avenues of administrative relief prior to submitting her application to the BCMR; and the application will only be reconsidered upon exhausting all subordinate avenues of administrative relief.
