RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS.


IN THE MATTER OF: 				DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2015-01476

XXXXXXXXXX					COUNSEL:  NONE

						HEARING DESIRED:  NO 



APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Her AF Form 910, Enlisted Performance Report (AB thru TSgt), for 
the period 10 November 2012 through 9 November 2013, be corrected.


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

Inaccurate facts are recorded on her AF Form 910.  She attempted 
to address her concerns with her rater on numerous occasions.  
However her inquiries went unanswered.

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 technical sergeant (E-6).

In a letter dated 8 February 2016, the Air Force Board for 
Correction of Military Records (AFBCMR) staff advised the 
applicant that AFI 36-2603, Air Force Board for Correction of 
Military Records, paragraph 4.7.3, requires that if an applicant 
has not exhausted all available effective administrative remedies, 
the application will be denied by the Board on that basis.  AFBCMR 
invited the applicant to administratively close her case until 
such time that she was able to avail herself of the administrative 
avenues described in the attached AFPC/DPSIDE advisory opinion.  
As of this date, no response has been received by this office 
(Exhibit D).


AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSIDE recommends denial.  The applicant has not exhausted 
all available avenues of administrative relief prior to seeking 
correction of her military record before the Board.  The AFBCMR is 
the highest level of administrative appeal within the Department 
of the Air Force.  The AFBCMR will not consider a case until all 
avenues of administrative relief have been exhausted.  The 
applicant should submit an AF Form 948, Application for 
Correction/Removal of Evaluation Reports, with all required 
supporting documentation, to the Evaluation Reports Appeal Board 
(ERAB) through the virtual Military Personnel Flight.  If the 
administrative appeal is not successful, the applicant may 
resubmit the DD Form 149, Application for Correction of Military 
Records under the Provisions of Title 10, USC, Section 1552, and 
the results of the ERAB administrative review for processing to 
the AFBCMR.

A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSIDE evaluation is at Exhibit C.


APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

On 8 February 2016, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was 
forwarded to the applicant 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 that the ERAB is an available avenue of 
administrative relief the applicant has not first pursued.  In 
view of this, we find the applicant’s request is not ready for 
adjudication at this level, as there is a subordinate level of 
appeal that has not first been pursued.  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.
