RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF: 	DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-00860
			COUNSEL:  NONE
			HEARING DESIRED:  NO 


APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His Officer Performance Report (OPR) rendered for the period 
1 Mar 12-28 Feb 13 be corrected to reflect “PDE” (Squadron 
Officers School) instead of “BDE” (Air and Space Basic Course) 
in Block IV and block V.


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He has already attended BDE, the Air and Space Basic Course and 
that PDE, Squadron Officer School, which he has not attended 
yet, is the correct acronym that should be reflected.

The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at 
Exhibit A.


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

On 30 May 07, the applicant was commissioned in the United 
States Air Force. He was progressively promoted to the grade 
captain (O-3) and is currently serving on active duty.


AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSIDE recommends denial of the applicant’s request to have 
his OPR corrected to reflect PDE versus BDE, indicating he 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 OPR on file, the applicant 
will also need to provide a memorandum of support from all the 
original evaluators who made the content/rating change(s), which 
details the error and the need for correction to the contested 
performance report.  The memorandum will need to address any 
content or rating changes between reports and the reason for the 
change(s).  

The complete 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 17 Oct 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.  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 was considered:

	Exhibit A.  DD Form 149, dated 24 Feb 14, w/atchs.
	Exhibit B.  Applicant's Master Personnel Records.
	Exhibit C.  Memorandum, AFPC/DPSIDE, dated 1 Oct 14.
	Exhibit D.  Memorandum, AFPC/JA, dated 9 Oct 14
	Exhibit E.  Letter, SAF/MRBR, dated 17 Oct 14.
