RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-04086 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NO APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: His DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, effective 15 June 2007, be corrected to reflect he served under Title 10 of the United States Code (U.S.C.) from 3 July 2006 through 15 June 2007, to attend Air Command and Staff College, for a period of 10 months and 12 days. His DD Form 214, effective 2 June 2010, be corrected to reflect he served under Title 10 U.S.C. from 21 July 2009 through 2 June 2010 to attend Air War College, for a period of 10 months and 12 days. APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: He attended Air Command and Staff College, as well as, Air War College with special orders erroneously published under Title 32 U.S.C. His orders should have been published under Title 10, resulting in his DD Form 214 accurately reflecting active duty status for the duration of his training. The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A. STATEMENT OF FACTS: The applicant is currently serving in the Air National Guard (ANG) in the grade of colonel (0-6). 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: NGB/A1PS recommends denial. It does not appear the applicant has exhausted all available administrative remedies. At the time the applicant attended Air War College, the system in use by the ANG to produce orders for formal training was called MAintaing, Preparing and Producing Executive Reports (MAPPER), and it only allowed orders to be published under Title 32 status. To address this conflict, school orders were produced with a comment in the remarks section indicating that the member was in Title 10 status. In this case, the applicant should contact his local Force Support Squadron (FSS) and request assistance in reviewing his records to determine if an amendment to Special Order A-V000575 and a subsequent correction to his DD Form 214 are required. If corrections are required and an amendment is published, the applicant may submit a request for a DD Form 215, Correction to DD Form 214, through the Virtual Personnel Center – Guard Reserve (vPC-GR). A complete copy of the NGB/A1PS 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 17 February 2015 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 application was not timely filed; however, it is in the interest of justice to excuse the failure to timely file. 2.  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 there is an available avenue of administrative relief the applicant has not first pursued in regards to his attendance at the Air War College. However, the OPR is silent to the applicant’s request regarding his attendance at the Air Command and Staff College. Nevertheless, we have been advised by NGB/A1PS that the MAPPER system was changed around 2009. Therefore, it appears the applicant’s orders for the Air Command and Staff College were produced using the MAPPER system. As such, those orders too should have included a statement indicating he was on Title 10 status. 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 that he has not exhausted all available avenues of administrative relief prior submitting his application to the AFBCMR; and the application will only be reconsidered upon exhausting all subordinate avenues of administrative relief. The following members of the Board considered AFBCMR Docket Number BC-2014-04086 in Executive Session on 24 June 2015 under the provisions of AFI 36-2603: Panel Chair Member Member The following documentary evidence pertaining AFBCMR Docket Number BC-2014-04086 was considered: Exhibit A.  DD Form 149, dated 25 September 2014, w/atchs.
