RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-00036
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her AF IMT 475, Education Training Report, rendered for the period
10 Apr 12 thru 14 Jun 12 be replaced with a reaccomplished report.
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
Her rank and training accomplishments were erroneously reflected
on contested training report.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant is currently serving on active duty in the rank of
first lieutenant (O2).
The AF IMT 475 rendered for the period ending 14 Jun 12 reflects
the applicants rank as first lieutenant and that she attended
Officer Filed Education at Tyndall AFB Silver Flag site. The
applicants commander provided a statement indicating the
contested report contained an error in the applicants rank and
training accomplishments. He further noted the report was
reaccomplished to correct the errors and was provided to applicant
to be updated in her records.
In accordance with AFI 36-2406, Officer and Enlisted Evaluation
Systems, paragraph 1.4.5.2 states a true Certified True Copy (CTC)
is a certified unchanged copy of the original document. When
authorized by HQ AFPC/DPISD, personnel making certified copies
will enter the statement Certified True Copy with the certifying
officials grade, name, signature, duty title, unit, and the date,
on the front left margin of the evaluation. Paragraph 1.4.5.3
states a Corrected Copy (CC) may be either a copy or an original
document which contains changes, from the original document.
Paragraph 10.2.4.6, states the Board will not consider nor approve
requests to change (except for deletions) an evaluators ratings
or comments if the evaluator does not support the change.
The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are
contained in the memorandum prepared by the Air Force office of
primary responsibility (OPR), which is attached at Exhibit C.
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIDE recommends denial noting the applicant has not
exhausted her administrative remedies. The AFBCMR is the highest
level of administrative appeal within the Department of the Air
Force. The AFBCMR will not consider a case until all avenues of
administrative relief have been exhausted. A review of the
applicants request determined her first avenue of relief is
through the Evaluation Report Appeals Board (ERAB). The
applicants request was forwarded to the ERAB for consideration,
however, it was returned without action, pending additional
supporting documentation. In order for the contested report to be
substituted with a reaccomplished report the applicant must
provide a corrected report certified in accordance with the
appeals process of the ERAB. Furthermore, since the requested
change is not for minor corrections, the applicant must provide a
wet-signed memorandum of support from her evaluator, which details
the error and the need for correction to the contested report.
The applicant can submit an AF Form 948, Application for
Correction/Removal of Evaluation Reports, with all the required
documentation, through the virtual Military Personnel Flight
(vMPF) Evaluation Appeals link.
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 16 Sep 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 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. To
request the substitution of a training report with a
reaccomplished report, there is an available avenue of
administrative relief the applicant has not first pursued. The
applicant should have applied to the Evaluation Reports Appeal
Board (ERAB) prior to applying to the BCMR. 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.
