RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2013-05823
		COUNSEL:  NONE
		HEARING DESIRED:  NO 


APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His AF Form 910, Enlisted Performance Report (AB thru TSgt), 
rendered for the period 16 May 12 thru 15 May 13, be voided and 
replaced.


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

His Enlisted Performance Report (EPR) closing 15 May 13, should 
reflect an overall rating of “5” versus “4.”  He was assigned to a 
Geographically Separated Unit (GSU) and did not see his rater on a 
regular basis.  He only saw his rater once during the contested 
reporting period and that was when he received his mid-term 
performance feedback.  Based on his performance feedback, he was 
rated excellent.  

He corrected a few of the bullets on his EPR and was advised the 
rating would not change because it was what the officer in charge 
had ordered.  Feedback from local leadership indicated he should 
have received higher marks.  

In support of his request, the applicant provides copies of his AF 
Form 910; AF Form 77, Letter of Evaluation and AF Form 931, 
Performance Feedback Worksheet (AB thru TSgt).

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 
technical sergeant. 

On 21 Jul 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/DPSOE recommends denial and states, in part; that the 
applicant has not exhausted avenues of administrative relief.  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.  If 
the administrative appeal is not successful, the applicant may 
resubmit the DD Form 149, Application for Correction of Military 
Records, and the results of the ERAB administrative review, to 
SAF/MRBR, 550 C Street West Suite 40, Randolph AFB TX 78150-4742 
for processing to the AFBCMR.

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 21 Jul 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 the evidence presented did not 
demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; the 
application was denied without a personal appearance; and the 
application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of newly 
discovered relevant evidence not considered with this application.


The following members of the Board considered AFBCMR Docket Number 
BC-2013-05823 in Executive Session on 18 Sep 14, under the 
provisions of AFI 36-2603:

	Panel Chair
