APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: Section III, Block 1, Primary/Additional Duties should have been marked as “Clearly Exceeds” versus “Meets;” however, it was not noticed until the report was loaded into the Personnel Records Display Application (PRDA). In support of his request, the applicant provides copies of his AF Forms 910 and email communiques. 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 24 Mar 15, the applicant was advised that the AFBCMR is the highest administrative level of appeal in the Air Force. AFI 36- 2603, AFBCMR, paragraph 4.7.3 requires that if an applicant has not exhausted all available effective administrative remedies, the application will be denied by the Board on that basis. AIR FORCE EVALUATION: AFPC/DPSIDE recommends denial of the applicant’s request to remove the contested report and states in part, that the applicant has not exhausted all 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 C. APPLICANT’S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 24 Mar 15, 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. The applicant has not exhausted all remedies provided by existing law or regulations. In this respect, we not 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 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 this portion of the application is not ripe for adjudication at this level as there are subordinate levels of appeal that have not been depleted. THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT: The applicant be notified that he has not exhausted all available avenues of administrative relief prior to submitting his application to the BCMR; and the application will only be reconsidered upon exhausting all subordinate avenues of administrative relief.
