RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

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 applicant’s 
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 applicant’s 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 applicant’s 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 evaluator’s 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.


The following documentary evidence pertaining AFBCMR Docket 
Number BC-2014-00412 was considered:

	Exhibit A.  DD Form 149, dated 19 Feb 14, w/atchs.
	Exhibit B.  Applicant's Master Personnel Records.
	Exhibit C.  Memorandum, AFPC/DPSID, dated 17 Oct 14.

    Therefore, the referral EPR itself should be removed from his record. The applicant contends that because pages of his rebuttal to the contested referral enlisted performance report (EPR) are missing, he is the victim of an injustice and the contested EPR should therefore be removed. 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...
