IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-00412
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His Enlisted Performance Reports (EPRs) ending 30 Jun 09, 30 Jun
11, 30 Jun 12, and 30 Jun 13 be changed.
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
There are errors in section III, item four (Training
Requirements) in each of the contested EPRs.
According to a Letter of Reprimand from the applicants
commander dated 21 Jan 14, he directed the applicant to file a
request to correct his EPRs ending 30 Jun 09, 30 Jun 11, 30 Jun
12 and 30 Jun 13.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant is currently serving as a staff sergeant in the
Air Force.
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSID recommends denial of the applicants request to
remove his EPRs ending 30 Jun 09, 30 Jun 11, 30 Jun 12, and
30 Jun 13. DPSID states the applicant has not exhausted all
available avenues of administrative relief prior to seeking
correction of his military records.
The Air Force Board for Correction of Military Records (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. The application was forwarded to the Evaluation
Report Appeals Board (ERAB) for their review and consideration
and they returned the request without action, pending additional
supporting documentation.
If the applicant wishes to replace the contested report, the
applicant must provide the re-accomplished, corrected report in
the .xfdl digitally signed format in support of the appeal. In
addition, since the change the applicant is requesting is not
for minor corrections to the existing EPRs on file, the
applicant will also need to provide a memorandum of support from
all the original evaluators who made the content/rating changes,
which details the error and the need for correction to the
contested performance reports. The memorandum will need to
address any content or rating changes between reports and the
reason for the changes. IAW with AFI 36-2406, Officer and
Enlisted Evaluation Systems, paragraph 10.2.4.6, which 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. When an evaluator
supports changing ratings, all subsequent evaluators must also
agree to the changes, (including the commander on EPRs). In
addition, paragraph 10.2.4.7 states that the board will not
consider nor approve requests to re-accomplish an evaluation
without the applicant furnishing the new valuation.
A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSID 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 9 Dec 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 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.

Furthermore, while we note the comments of the Air Force OPR indicating that this Board should direct that the missing pages be added to his record, we are not convinced that the evidence provided by the...
