RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF: 	DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-01566
			COUNSEL:  NONE
			HEARING DESIRED:  NO 


APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His make-up drill points be transferred to show a “good year” from 
Jan 13 to Jan 14.


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

There has not been an error or injustice.  He was involved in an 
automobile accident while on-duty with his local police 
department.  He was transported to the hospital and was unable to 
attend drill for the months of Dec 13 and Jan 14 (2.5 months 
total), causing him to have a “bad year.”  

In support of his request, the applicant provides a copy of the 
accident report, typed statements, pictures, and code sheets.

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


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The relevant facts pertaining to this application are described in 
the letter prepared by the Air Force office of primary 
responsibility which is included at Exhibit C.


AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

NGB/A1PP recommends denial.  The applicant does not appear to have 
exhausted all available administrative remedies prior to 
petitioning the AFBCMR.  The applicant should engage with his unit 
prior to seeking relief from the AFBCMR.  Furthermore, since there 
was no error or injustice, it would not be appropriate for the 
AFBCMR to direct the unit to provide the member with the necessary 
points to show a “good year.”  

The complete A1PP 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 25 Apr 14 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 compelling basis to recommend granting the 
relief sought in this application.


THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:

The applicant be notified that she has not exhausted all available 
avenues of administrative relief prior to submitting her 
application to the BCMR; and the application will only be 
reconsidered upon exhausting all subordinate avenues of 
administrative relief.
