RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-04955 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NO APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: Her AF Form 707, Officer Performance Report (OPR), rendered on 8 Jul 13 for the period 27 Jul 12 through 25 May 13, be replaced with the OPR rendered on 17 Jul 13 covering the same period. APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: The stratification comments in Section V, Additional Rater Overall Assessment, of the OPR rendered 17 Jul 13, were modified/changed by her additional rater, and therefore the contested OPR should be replaced. The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A. STATEMENT OF FACTS: The applicant initially entered the Regular Air Force on 13 Oct 87, and currently serves in the grade of lieutenant colonel (O-5). 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 denial indicating there is no evidence of an error or an injustice. The applicant has not exhausted all available avenues of administrative relief by not first filing an appeal of her OPR through the Evaluation Report Appeals Board (ERAB) under the provisions of AFI 36-2406. The application was forwarded to the ERAB for their review and they determined the request should be returned without action, pending additional supporting documentation. Since the change being requested is not for minor corrections to the existing OPR on file, the applicant will need to provide a memorandum of support from the original evaluator who made the purported change(s), which details the error and the need for correction to the contested OPR. 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 28 Jul 14 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. AFPC/DPSID has reviewed this application and indicated the Evaluation Reports Appeal Board (ERAB) 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 the evidence presented did not demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; the application was denied without a personal appearance; and the application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this application. The following members of the Board considered AFBCMR Docket Number BC-2013-04955 in Executive Session on 13 Nov 14 under the provisions of AFI 36-2603: The following documentary evidence was considered: Exhibit A.  DD Form 149, dated 18 Oct 13, w/atchs.
