RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF: 			DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-03984

  					COUNSEL:  NONE

					HEARING DESIRED:  NO 


APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His award effective dates for his Air Force Specialty Codes 
(AFSCs) 4N071 and 8F000 were entered incorrectly in the Virtual 
Military Personnel Flight (vMPF).


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

The 4N071 and 8F000 AFSC award dates were entered incorrectly in 
vMPF and need to be corrected to accurately reflect his career 
military records, and even more importantly, for retirement and 
pay. The applicant provides copies of his AF Form 2096s 
(Classification/On-The-Job Training Action) reflecting the AFSC 
changes.  

The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at 
Exhibit A.


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant initially entered the regular Air Force on 06 Sep 
89.

On 05 Sep 93, the applicant was furnished an honorable 
discharge, and was credited with 4 years of active service.  

On 07 Jul 94, he enlisted as a 4N051 (Nursing Assistant) with 
the Air National Guard, 152nd MEG SQ, in Reno, NV.

On 8 Jun 97, he was awarded the 4N071 AFSC (primary).  

On 7 Mar 98, he was promoted to Technical Sergeant and the 4N071 
became his duty AFSC.

On 2 Apr 00, he was awarded the 8F000 (First Sergeant) AFSC and 
assigned as a First Sergeant.  

On 6 Oct 02, he was awarded 4N071 as his primary and duty AFSC 
and the 8F000 as his secondary AFSC.

On 30 Nov 02, he was honorably discharged from the Nevada Air 
National Guard and transferred to the 752nd MDS, March ARB, CA.

On 01 Dec 02, he was awarded 8F000 as his primary and duty AFSC 
with his new unit.

On 10 October 08, he was appointed by the Air National Guard in 
AFSC 45N1, Anesthesiologist, in the grade of Captain.  He 
currently serves as a Flight Surgeon in the grade of Major.


AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

NGB/A1P recognizes two incorrect AFSC award effective dates in 
the applicant’s MilPDS record and recommends the applicant’s 
unit submit his request with supporting documents through the 
NGB’s Case Management System (CMS) to “Guard AFPC POC” to 
correct.  

A complete copy of the NGB/A1P 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 Nov 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 exhausted.  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 that all available avenues of 
administrative relief have not been exhausted; and the 
application will only be reconsidered upon submission of 
documentary evidence indicating that said avenues of 
administrative relief have been exhausted.
