His EPR should be replaced due to this medical diagnosis, which was not known at the time of the report inclusive period. The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A. STATEMENT OF FACTS: The applicant is currently serving in the Regular Air Force in the grade of technical sergeant (TSgt). On 3 Jun 10, the applicant participated in one of the contested FAs where he attained an overall composite score of 63.75 points, which constituted an unsatisfactory rating. On 6 Aug 10, the contested EPR was referred to the applicant due to a does not meet standards rating in Block 3, Fitness, and a comment related to his failure of the aforementioned FA.

The applicant should submit an AF Form 948, Application for Correction/Removal of Evaluation Reports, with all required supporting documentation, through the virtual Military Personnel Flight (vMPF) Evaluation Appeals. The memorandum will need to address any content or rating changes between reports and the reason for the change(s), which details the error and the need for correction to the contested EPR. If the administrative appeal is not successful, the applicant may resubmit the DD Form 149, Application for Correction of Military Records, and the results of the ERAB administrative review. A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSIDE evaluation is at Exhibit C. AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial indicating the applicant has not exhausted all available avenues of administrative relief prior to seeking correction of his military record through the BCMR. In accordance with Air Force Instruction 36-2905, dated 21 Oct 13, any military member can appeal his/her FA via Wing Appeal and subsequently through the AF Fitness Assessment Appeals Board (FAAB), within two years of discovering an error/injustice. The applicant’s DD Form 149 was signed after 21 Oct 13 and the appeal has not been considered by his Wing commander, nor has it been reviewed by the FAAB; therefore, the applicant’s request has not been submitted IAW current Air Force guidance. A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSIM evaluation is at Exhibit D. APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the applicant on 17 Nov 14 for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit E). As of this date, no response has been received by this office. THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT: 1.  The applicant has 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. To request the removal of the contested fitness assessment (FA) or enlisted performance report (EPR), there are other available avenues of administrative relief the applicant has not first pursued. The applicant should have applied to the Fitness Assessment Appeals Board (FAB) and Evaluation Report Appeals Board (ERAB) for relief on these issues prior to applying to the BCMR. In view of this, we find this application is not ripe for adjudication at this level, as there are subordinate levels of appeal that have not first been depleted. Therefore, in view of the above, we find no 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. The following members of the Board considered AFBCMR Docket Number BC-2014-00530 in Executive Session on 18 Dec 14, under the provisions of AFI 36-2603: The following documentary evidence was considered: Exhibit A.  DD Form 149, dated 17 Jan 14, w/atchs.
