RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS. IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2015-01152 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NO APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: His records reflect the correct AF IMT 475, Education/Training Report, from the Intelligence Officers Career Course. Specifically that Section II, No. 3,Distinguished Graduate block be marked “Yes”. APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: He was recognized as a Distinguished Graduate (DG) after completing the Intelligence Officers Career Course and while the bullet statements stating such were included on the AF IMT 475 the requisite block on the form was not checked. The course Flight Commander attempted to submit a new form with the block checked, but was told too much time had elapsed and it was not accepted. The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A. STATEMENT OF FACTS: The applicant is currently serving in the Regular Air Force as a Captain (Capt)/O-3. According to AF IMT 475, dated 30 Jun 09, the applicant was voted a DG by his instructors. 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 there is no action to be taken at this time because the applicant has a case pending with the Evaluation Procedures and Appeals Board (ERAB) for the same reason. The case with the ERAB needs to be resolved prior to filing an appeal with the Air Force Board for Correction of Military Records (AFBCMR) for the same issue. 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 12 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 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 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. The following documentary evidence pertaining to AFBCMR Docket Number BC-2015-01152 was considered: Exhibit A. DD Form 149, dated 5 Feb 15, w/atchs. Exhibit B. Applicant's Master Personnel Records. Exhibit C. Memorandum, AFPC/DPSIDE, dated 5 Nov 15. Exhibit D. Letter, SAF/MRBR, dated 12 Nov 15.
