RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF: 		DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-03643

				COUNSEL:  NONE

				HEARING DESIRED:  NO 


APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His AF Form 911, Enlisted Performance Report (MSgt thru CMSgt), 
dated 13 Jan 13 thru 12 Jan 14 be replaced with a version that 
reflects Section III, Performance Assessment, Block 4, Resource 
Management and Decision Making, marked as “Clearly Exceeds”.


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

An error was made when his 13 Jan 13 thru 12 Jan 14 EPR was 
processed through chain of command.  Section III, Block 4 was 
unintentionally marked “Above Average” when the rater meant to 
mark it “Clearly Exceeds.”  His EPR stratification of #1 of 23 
MSgts at the Group and #3 of 65 MSgts at the Wing would not be 
justified with such a mark down.

The rater and additional rater both acknowledged his EPR was in 
error and should have been marked “Clearly Exceeds”.  They did 
not notice the error until after the report was a matter of 
record.  

In support of his request, the applicant provided a corrected 
and signed version of the AF Form 911 in question.

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 Master Sergeant.

On 24 Feb 14, the applicant’s rater closed out his 13 Jan 13 
thru 12 Jan 14 EPR.  His rater marked “Above Average” on the AF 
Form 911, Section III, Block 4.  Both the applicant’s Rater and 
Additional Rater marked his overall performance assessment as 
“Truly Among the Best”.

The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are 
contained in the memorandum prepared by the Air Force office of 
primary responsibility (OPR), which is attached at Exhibit C.    


AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSIDE recommends denial as the applicant has not exhausted 
all available avenues of administrative relief.  They recommend 
the applicant submit an AF Form 948, Application for 
Correction/Removal of Evaluation Reports, with all required 
supporting documentation, through the virtual Military Personnel 
Flight (vMPF).

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 1 May 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 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.
