His Referral Officer Performance Report (OPR) for the period ending 25 Jun 15 be removed from his record.

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant is currently serving in the Air Force Reserve in the rank of lieutenant colonel (O-5).  

For more information, see the excerpt of the applicant’s record at Exhibit B and the advisory at Exhibit C.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

ARPC/DPTS recommends denial for removal of the contested OPR.  However, they recommend the re-accomplishing Section VIII:  Ratee’s Signature and Section XI: Date Rater Signed to comply with the governing AFI.  DPTS further noted the applicant has not exhausted his administrative remedies, i.e., Evaluation Reports Appeal Board (ERAB).  The complete advisory is at Exhibit C.

APPLICANT’S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

The Board sent a copy of the Air Force evaluation to the applicant on 20 Aug 18 for comment (Exhibit D), but has received no response.

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

1.  The application was timely filed.

2.  The applicant did not exhaust all available avenues of non-judicial relief before applying to the Board.  The Board does not consider applications without documentation showing exhaustion of such avenues of relief.

3.  After thoroughly reviewing all Exhibits, it is the Board’s opinion that the applicant is not the victim of an error and injustice.  The Board concurs with the rationale and recommendation of ARPC/DPTS and finds that a preponderance of the evidence does not substantiate the applicant’s contentions.  Therefore, the Board recommends against correcting the applicant’s records.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:

The applicant be informed all available avenues of administrative relief have not been exhausted, and the application will only be reconsidered upon receipt of documentary evidence indicating that such avenues of administrative relief have been exhausted.
