RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-05307
COUNSEL: NO
HEARING DESIRED: NO
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active
Duty, be changed to reflect that he was awarded a 7-skill level in
Air Force Specialty Code (AFSC) 2A5X1 (Aircraft Maintenance).
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His AF Form 623, On-The-Job Training (OJT) Records reflect he
completed all the required core tasks for award of his 7-level.
He attended 7-level school; however, his flight chief did not
submit the paperwork because he was separating to become an
officer. His flight chief stated it was a waste of time.
Denying someone something they worked hard to receive and deserve
is appalling.
In support of his request, the applicant provides copies of his DD
Form 214, AF Form 623, excerpts from his Verification of Military
Experience and Training Report and various other documents
associated with his appeal.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicants DD Form 214, issued in conjunction with his
13 Jan 99, discharge, block 11, Primary Specialty, reflects AFSC
2A551J (Aircraft Maintenance).
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIT recommends denial. The applicant did not submit the
required documentation for upgrade. He must submit a copy of the
Craftsman Course training certificate, AF Form 2096,
Classification/On-the-Job-Training Action, awarding him the 7-
skill level or PC-III print out approving the 7-skill level, and
additional AF Forms 623, if available. Once the additional source
documents are received, an approval may be granted.
The complete DPSIT evaluation is at Exhibit B.
APPLICANTS REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant
on 28 Feb 14, for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit C).
As of this date, no response has been received by this office.
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
1. The application was timely filed.
2. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to
demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice. In this
respect, we note this Board is the highest level of administrative
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 indicted there is an available avenue of possible
administrative relief the applicant has not exhausted. In view of
this, we find that consideration of the applicants appeal by this
Board is not appropriate at this time. Therefore, the applicant
is advised that if he is not successful in obtaining the relief he
seeks through available administrative channels, he may then
consider resubmitting his appeal to this Board.
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.
