HEARING DESIRED: NO
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

in identifying job performance acknowledgment and potential for
promotion.

The applicants 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.
