AIR FORCE EVALUATION: AFPC/DPSIDE recommends denial because the applicant has not exhausted all available avenues of administrative relief prior to seeking correction of his military records and lack of supporting evidence. The Air Force Board for Correction of Military Records (AFBCMR) is the highest level of administrative appeal within the Department of the Air Force. AFI 36-2603, Air Force Board for Correction of Military Records, states the AFBCMR will not consider a case until all avenues of administrative relief have been exhausted. Specifically, the applicant has not requested relief through the Evaluation Reports Appeals Board (ERAB). It is recommended the applicant submit a new AF Form 948, Application/or Correction/Removal of Evaluation Reports, with all required supporting documentation, through the vMPF/Evaluation Appeals, found under the Most Popular Applications. The applicant may resubmit his request to the AFBCMR if the administrative appeal is not successful. A complete copy of the AFPC/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 7 Jan 15 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 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. ?
