RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-01670
COUNSEL:
HEARING DESIRED: NO
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His Enlisted Performance Report (EPR), rendered for the period
16 May 2012 thru 15 May 2013 and signed by his rater on
13 September 2013, be replaced with the evaluation signed on
1 June 2013.
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The original EPR signed by his rater on 1 June 2013 was returned
by ARPC for formatting corrections. However, his raters
modified the original document, which included re-wording of
various bullets and rating changes. These changes went beyond
the formatting changes ARPC required and it has since been
uploaded in the Automated Records Management System.
In support of his request, the applicant provides a personal
statement, copies of his AF Forms 911, Enlisted Performance
Report (MSgt thru CMSgt); and ARPC Evaluation Report printout.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
In a letter dated 4 September 2014, SAF/MRBR advised the
applicant that AFI 36-2603, Air Force Board for Correction of
Military Records, requires that if an applicant has not
exhausted all available effective administrative remedies, the
application will be denied by the Board on that basis. SAF/MRBR
invited the applicant to administratively close his case until
such time that he is able to avail himself of the administrative
avenues described in the attached AFPC/DPSIDE advisory opinion.
As of this date, no response has been received by this office
(Exhibit C).
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
ARPC/DPTS recommends denial. It is each evaluators charge to
assess and document an accurate reflection of a ratees
performance throughout the rating period. Changes and edits to
a draft evaluation are expected prior to becoming a matter of
FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY PRIVACY ACT OF 1974
the permanent record. Moreover, the applicant has not exhausted
his administrative remedies and should seek possible remedy
through the Evaluation Reports Appeal Board (ERAB).
The complete DPTS evaluation is at Exhibit B.
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 4 September 2014, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was
forwarded to the applicant for review and comment within
30 days. As of this date, no response has been received by this
office (Exhibit C).
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 that the ERAB is an
available avenue of administrative relief the applicant has not
first pursued. In view of this, we find his request is not
ready for adjudication at this level, as there exists a
subordinate level of appeal that has not first been pursued.
Therefore, in view of the above, we find no basis to recommend
granting the relief sought in this portion of his 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 Board; and the application will only be
reconsidered upon exhausting all subordinate avenues of
administrative relief.
The following members of the Board considered this application
