RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-05026 COUNSEL:	NONE
HEARING DESIRED:	NO

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His Virtual Military Personnel Flight (vMPF) records be corrected to change the “N/A” rating for his 10 Nov 14 Officer Performance Reports (OPR) to “YE (Meets Standards).”

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
During a review of his records regarding his OPRs, he noticed the OPR, which closed out 10 Nov 14, showed “NA” under the Rating - Explanation heading. However, the other OPRs showed “YE (Meets Standards).” According to the OPR which was closed on 10 Nov 14, he does meet standards. The “NA” should be corrected to “YE (Meets standard)”. This minor error might negatively affect his carver and record.

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

STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 9 Jan 10, the applicant entered the Regular Air Force.
The AF Form 707, Officer Performance Report, for the period of performance 9 Dec 13 through 10 Nov 14, Section III, Performance Factors,” documents the applicant “Meets Standards.”

On 10 Dec 2014, the applicant was furnished an honorable discharge, and was credited with 4 years, 1 month, and 2 days of active service.

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 advises no action be taken regarding this applicant’s request. The applicant has not exhausted all available avenues of administrative relief prior to seeking correction of their military record. The applicant is not contesting any report material/content error or injustice, such as an administrative minor correction or a substitute/void request. IAW AFI 36-2406, Officer and Enlisted Evaluation Systems, the error being contested is a system update in Military Personnel Data Systems (MilPDS) that can be resolved at the base level Military Personnel Section (MPS). The AFBCMR is not the proper avenue to request a MiIPDS update.

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 13 Aug 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. Additionally, the Board notes the Officer Performance Report in question, is accurate and without error. 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.
