 			COUNSEL:  NONE

			HEARING DESIRED: NO

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

The training report dated 14 September 2010, be removed from his records.
________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

During his final two months of training, he received excellent flight grades, qualified in the T-6 and completed his formation 
checkride without error.  In the final weeks of the course, he experienced sleep loss and performance degradation and was 
eventually returned to his duty station.  

Upon his return, x-rays uncovered degenerative joint disease which was linked to his sleep loss.  This impacted his 
performance in the program.  He is now fully qualified and requests the Board remove the training report.

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 lieutenant colonel.  According to AF IMT 475, 
Education/Training Report, he was administratively eliminated from a class during the Commanders Review process for lack of 
instructor potential and flying deficiencies.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSIDE recommends the applicant file an appeal through the 
Evaluation Reports Appeals Board (ERAB).

The Air Force Board for Correction of Military Records is the 
highest level of appeal within the Department of the Air Force.  
The AFBCMR will not consider a case until all avenues of appeal 
have been exhausted.  

The ERAB reviewed the applicant’s request and returned it 
without action pending additional supporting documentation and 
evidence of the error or injustice.

The applicant has not exhausted all available avenues of 
administrative relief prior to seeking correction of his 
records.  

The complete 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 September 2014, for review and comment within 
30 days (Exhibit D).  As of this date, this office has received 
no response.
________________________________________________________________

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 noted the applicant has not filed an appeal through the Evaluation Reports Appeals Board 
(ERAB).  In view of this, we find this application is not ripe for adjudication at this level, as there is a subordinate level 
of appeal that has not first been depleted.  Therefore, in view of the above, we find no basis to recommend granting this 
portion of the applicant’s request. 
________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:

The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; that 
the application was denied without a personal appearance; and that the application will only be reconsidered upon the 
submission of newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this application.
