IN THE MATTER OF: 			DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2016-02360

						COUNSEL:  NONE

						HEARING DESIRED:  NO 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His AF Form 910, Enlisted Performance Report, dated 14 Feb 14, be corrected to reflect the reporting period in Block 8 from “From:  15 Feb 2014 Thru:  14 Feb 2014” to “From:  15 Feb 2013 Thru: 14 Feb 2014.”

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

The current AF Form 910 does not reflect the actual dates of the reporting period.  His mid-term feedback was conducted on 4 Sep 13; therefore, the dates listed for the reporting period are incorrect.

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

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

On 21 Nov 06, the applicant initially entered the Regular Air Force.

On 10 Aug 16, AFBCMR, Acknowledgement of Receipt, with guidance regarding the Evaluation Reports Appeal Board, was forwarded to the applicant (Exhibit C).

The applicant is currently serving on active duty with the Regular Air Force.

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 D.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPS2PE recommends denial, indicating the applicant has not exhausted all available avenues of administrative relief prior to seeking correction of his military records.

In accordance with Air Force Instruction 36-2406, Officer and Enlisted Evaluation Systems, paragraph 10.1., the Evaluation Reports Appeal Board (ERAB) was established to provide all Air Force personnel with an avenue of relief for correcting errors or injustices in evaluations at the lowest possible level.  If an evaluation cannot be corrected under Table 10.2., Correcting Minor Errors on Evaluations, an applicant’s first avenue of relief for correcting an evaluation is through the ERAB, which is accessible via the virtual Military Personnel Flight (vMPF)/virtual Personnel Center – Guard and Reserve (vPC-GR).

A complete copy of the AFPC/DPS2PE evaluation is at Exhibit D.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 13 Dec 16 for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit E).  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 (OPR) 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 ready 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.
