The PAS code on the AF Form 2096 is listed as E81CFJQD. On 8 Jun 16, the applicant was furnished an OPR with the PAS code E81CFMBB for the inclusive period of 5 Jun 15 thru 4 Jun 16. 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/A1PO recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of an error or an injustice. In accordance with AFI 36-2406, Officer and Enlisted Evaluation Systems, Table 10.2, in order to correct minor errors on OPRs that have already been digitally signed, the applicant must submit an Evaluation Reports Appeal Board (ERAB) request to Air Reserve Personnel Center (ARPC). Paragraph 10.4.4.1. further prescribes that members must submit requests for correction, insertion or removal of evaluations via the virtual Military Personnel Flight (vMPF). IAW AFI 36-2603, Air Force Board for Correction of Military Records (AFBCMR), an AFBCMR is the members last avenue of relief, and this member has not exhausted all reasonable administrative remedies prior to submitting this application for relief to the BCMR. A complete copy of the NGB/A1PO evaluation is at Exhibit D. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 13 Dec 16 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 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 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. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The following members of the Board considered AFBCMR Docket Number BC-2016-03062 in Executive Session on 25 Apr 17 under the provisions of AFI 36-2603: Panel Chair Member Member The following documentary evidence was considered: Exhibit A.
