RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-05049
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His AF Form 910, Enlisted Performance Report (EPR) (AB thru TSgt), rendered for the period 2 Jan 2012 thru 1 Jan 2013, be replaced with an AF Form 911, Enlisted Performance Report (EPR) (MSgt thru CMSgt).
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His AF Form 910, EPR, closed out 1 Jan 2013 the same day he was promoted to the rank of master sergeant (E-7). As such, his records should reflect the report which correlates with his respective grade of E-7.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant is currently serving in the Regular Air Force in the grade of master sergeant (E-7).
The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are described in the letter prepared by the Air Force office of primary responsibility, which is attached at Exhibit C.
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIDE recommends denial. Under the provisions of AFI 36-2603, Air Force Board for Correction of Military Records (AFBCMR), the applicants request has been examined and forwarded through pertinent administrative procedures which are required prior to referral to the AFBCMR. The AFBCMR is the highest level of administrative appeal with the Department of the Air Force. The AFBCMR will not consider a case until all avenues of administrative relief have been exhausted. The applicants request was forwarded to the Evaluation Report Appeals Board (ERAB) for their review and consideration and they determined to return the request without action, pending additional supporting documentation. If the administrative appeal is not successful, the applicant may resubmit his request and the results of the ERAB administrative review 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 29 Aug 14 for review and comment within 30 days. As of this date, no response has been received by this office (Exhibit D).
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. To request correction/removal of an EPR, the applicant should request review through the ERAB. 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 he has not exhausted all available avenues of administrative relief prior to submitting his application to the AFBCMR; and the application will only be reconsidered upon exhausting all subordinate avenues of administrative relief.
