RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-00412 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NO APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: His Enlisted Performance Reports (EPRs) ending 30 Jun 09, 30 Jun 11, 30 Jun 12, and 30 Jun 13 be changed. APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: There are errors in section III, item four (Training Requirements) in each of the contested EPRs. According to a Letter of Reprimand from the applicant’s commander dated 21 Jan 14, he directed the applicant to file a request to correct his EPRs ending 30 Jun 09, 30 Jun 11, 30 Jun 12 and 30 Jun 13. The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A. STATEMENT OF FACTS: The applicant is currently serving as a staff sergeant in the Air Force. AIR FORCE EVALUATION: AFPC/DPSID recommends denial of the applicant’s request to remove his EPRs ending 30 Jun 09, 30 Jun 11, 30 Jun 12, and 30 Jun 13. DPSID states the applicant has not exhausted all available avenues of administrative relief prior to seeking correction of his military records. The Air Force Board for Correction of Military Records (AFBCMR) is the highest level of administrative appeal within the Department of the Air Force. The AFBCMR will not consider a case until all avenues of administrative relief have been exhausted. The application was forwarded to the Evaluation Report Appeals Board (ERAB) for their review and consideration and they returned the request without action, pending additional supporting documentation. If the applicant wishes to replace the contested report, the applicant must provide the re-accomplished, corrected report in the .xfdl digitally signed format in support of the appeal. In addition, since the change the applicant is requesting is not for minor corrections to the existing EPRs on file, the applicant will also need to provide a memorandum of support from all the original evaluators who made the content/rating changes, which details the error and the need for correction to the contested performance reports. The memorandum will need to address any content or rating changes between reports and the reason for the changes. IAW with AFI 36-2406, Officer and Enlisted Evaluation Systems, paragraph 10.2.4.6, which states “the Board will not consider nor approve requests to change (except for deletions) an evaluator’s ratings or comments if the evaluator does not support the change. When an evaluator supports changing ratings, all subsequent evaluators must also agree to the changes, (including the commander on EPRs).” In addition, paragraph 10.2.4.7 states that the board will not consider nor approve requests to re-accomplish an evaluation without the applicant furnishing the new valuation. A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSID evaluation is at Exhibit C. APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 9 Dec 14 for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit D). As of this date, no response has been received by this office. THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT: 1. The applicant has not exhausted all remedies provided by existing law or regulations. 2. The application was timely filed. 3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the existence of error or injustice. In this respect, we note this Board is the highest administrative level of 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 administrative relief the applicant has not first pursued. In view of this, we find this application is not ripe for adjudication at this level, as there exists a subordinate level of appeal that has not first been depleted. Therefore, in view of the above, we find no compelling basis to recommend granting the relief sought in this application. THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT: The applicant be notified the evidence presented did not demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; the application was denied without a personal appearance; and the application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this application.
