RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF: 	DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-01821

					COUNSEL:  NONE

		HEARING DESIRED:  NO 


APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His performance report rendered for the period 1 Apr 12 – 31 Mar 
13 be replaced with a revised report.


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

His performance report closing 31 Mar 13 did not include a Space 
and Missile Systems Center level stratification which is critical 
in identifying job performance acknowledgment and potential for 
promotion.

He provides a copy of the revised report, digitally signed by the 
rater and additional rater on 23 Jan 14.

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


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant, while serving as a captain, received a report 
closing on 31 Mar 13.  The report was digitally signed by the 
rater and additional rater on 1 Apr 13.


AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSIDE recommends denial indicating the applicant has not 
exhausted all available avenues of administrative relief prior to 
seeking correction of his military records.  

DPSIDE recommends the applicant submit an AF Form 948, Application 
for Correction/Removal of Evaluation Reports, with all required 
supporting documentation, through the vMPF/Evaluation Appeals link 
found under the Most Popular Applications.

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 they determined to return the request 
without action, pending additional documentation.  If the 
applicant wishes to substitute the contested EPR [sic], the 
applicant must provide the corrected report in .xfdl format in 
support of the applicant's appeal.  In addition, since the changes 
being requested is not considered minor corrections to the 
existing OPR on file, the applicant will need to include a wet-
signed supporting memorandum from additional rater in the appeals 
case.  The memorandum will need to address any content changes 
between reports and the justification for the change(s). This is 
IAW AFI 36-2406, Officer and Enlisted Evaluation Systems, 
paragraph 10.2.4.6, which states that "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."  Furthermore, the applicant must supply specific 
information about the unfair evaluation for the board to make a 
reasoned judgment on the appeal and show strong evidence to the 
board when requesting to substitute a report from the permanent 
record.

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 10 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 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 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 members of the Board considered AFBCMR Docket Number 
BC-2014-01821 in Executive Session on 11 Mar 15 under the
