RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF: 			DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-04991

        		COUNSEL:  NONE

						HEARING DESIRED:  NO 



APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

The Enlisted Performance Report, rendered for the period of 
6 May 2013 through 5 May 2014, be removed from his record and 
replaced with a corrected version.


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

During the rating period in question his current supervisor at 
the time emailed a corrected copy of his 5 May 2014 EPR for 
routing.  The report was lost or not received.  The EPR that was 
written in its place was made using bullets from EPRs of prior 
years.

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


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant is currently serving on active duty in the grade 
of staff sergeant.

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.  DPSIDE states the applicant has 
not exhausted all available avenues of administrative relief 
prior to seeking correction of his military records.

IAW AFI 36-2406, Officer and Enlisted Evaluation Systems, 
paragraphs 10.2.4.6, which states “the Board will not consider 
nor approve requests to change (except for deletions) an 
evaluator’s ratings or comments if the evaluator does not 
support the change.  When an evaluator supports changing 
ratings, all subsequent evaluators must also agree to the 
changes, (including the commander on EPRs, the reviewer on OPRs, 
and the MLR Board President on PRFs).”  In addition, paragraph 
10.2.4.7 states that the Board will not consider nor approve 
requests to re-accomplish an evaluation without the applicant 
furnishing the new evaluation.  If the applicant wishes to 
replace the contested report, the applicant must provide the re-
accomplished, corrected report in the .xfdl digitally signed 
format in support of the appeal.  In addition, since the change 
the applicant is requesting is not for minor corrections to the 
existing EPR on file, the applicant will also need to provide a 
memorandum of support from all the original evaluators who made 
the content/rating change(s), which details the error and the 
need for correction to the contested EPR.  The memorandum will 
need to address any content or rating changes between reports 
and the reason for the change(s).

AFPC/DPSIDE recommends the applicant submit an AF Form 948, 
Application for Correction/Removal of Evaluation Reports, with 
all required supporting documentation, through the 
vMPF/Evaluation Appeals found under the Most Popular 
Applications.

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 4 May 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 applicant has not exhausted all remedies provided by 
existing law or regulations.

2.  The application is timely filed.

3.  Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to 
demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice.  The 
applicant’s contentions are duly noted; however, we agree with the 
opinion and recommendation of the Air Force OPR and adopt its 
rationale as the basis for our conclusion that the applicant has 
not exhausted his administrative avenues for relief.  We recommend 
the applicant submit an AF Form 948, Application for 
Correction/Removal of Evaluation Reports, with all required 
supporting documentation, through the vMPF/Evaluation Appeals 
found under the Most Popular Applications.  However, should after 
exhausting his administrative avenue of relief, the applicant feel 
he is still a victim of an error or injustice, the applicant may 
resubmit his application to the Board for consideration.


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.
