RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2013-05649
		COUNSEL:  NONE
		HEARING DESIRED:  NO 


APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His AF Form 911, Enlisted Performance Report (EPR) (MSgt thru 
CMSgt), rendered for the period 26 Aug 10 thru 1 Apr 11, be voided 
and removed from his records.


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

His EPR, Block V, Overall Performance Assessment, should reflect 
an overall rating of “5” rather than “4.”

In early 2010, he informed the group commander that having his 
personnel managing multiple Automatic Data Processing Equipment 
(ADPE) accounts/assets in five different buildings would have 
detrimental results.  He suggested that a primary and alternate 
ADPE custodian be appointed in each building; however, his request 
was denied because the commander believed this should be the 
responsibility of his personnel.  

He received a short-notice deployment two-months prior to a Unit 
Command Inspection (UCI).  He identified the areas needing 
improvement; however they were never fixed during his absence.  
Subsequently, the ADPE program failed during the UCI.  He tried to 
fix the problems early on but received negative support from his 
commander.

He requested an initial feedback session numerous times; however, 
his rater never conducted one.  According to his EPR a performance 
feedback session was completed on 14 Jan 11; however, this is a 
false statement.  In Jan 11, he returned from a six-month 
deployment; met his supervisor for the first time; and only worked 
in the unit until Mar 11. 

In support of his request, the applicant provides copies of AF 
Forms 911, EPR notice, Temporary Duty (TDY) orders and various 
other documents associated with his appeal.  

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 
master sergeant. 

On 11 Aug 14, the applicant was advised that the AFBCMR is the 
highest administrative level of appeal in the Air Force and  that 
he should exhaust all other available avenues of relief prior to 
seeking relief through the AFBCMR.  


AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSIDE recommends denial and states, in part, that the 
applicant has not exhausted avenues of administrative relief.  In 
this respect, 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 found under the Most Popular Applications.
The complete DPSIDE evaluation is at Exhibit B. 


APPLICANT’S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant 
on 19 Aug 14, for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit C).  
As of this date, this office has not received a response. 


THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
1.  The application was timely filed.

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 
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 to submitting his 
application to the BCMR; and the application will only be 
reconsidered upon exhausting all subordinate avenues of 
administrative relief.
