IN THE MATTER OF: 			DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2015-02369

						COUNSEL:  NONE

						HEARING DESIRED:  NO 



APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Her Enlisted Performance Report (EPR), rendered for the period 
16 Mar 12 through 15 Mar 13, block VIII, Unit Commander/Civilian 
Director/Other Authorized Reviewer, be amended to acknowledge 
the missing signature.


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

Her EPR is missing the commander’s signature but was filed in 
her electronic virtual records.

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


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant is currently serving on active duty in the grade 
of Technical Sergeant (TSgt, E-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:

AFPC/DPSIDE recommends denial and states, in part; that the 
applicant has not exhausted avenues of administrative relief.  
The applicant needs to submit an AF Form 948, Application for 
Correction/Removal of Evaluation Reports, with all required 
supporting documentation, through the vMPF/Evaluation Appeals.  
If the administrative appeal is not successful, the applicant 
may resubmit the DD Form 149, Application for Correction of 
Military Records, and the results of the ERAB administrative 
review, to SAF/MRBR, 550 C Street West Suite 40, Randolph AFB TX 
78150-4742 for processing to the AFBCMR.

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 22 Dec 15 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.  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 view of this, we find that consideration of the 
applicant’s appeal by this Board is not appropriate at this time  
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 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.
