RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF: 			DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-03925

						COUNSEL:  NONE

						HEARING DESIRED:  NO 



APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Her records be corrected to reflect the following:

	a.  Meritorious Unit Award, First Oak Leaf Cluster.

	b.  Deployment to Al Udeid, Qatar.


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

She deployed to Al Udeid, Qatar and was assigned to a unit that 
received the Meritorious Unit Award; however, her records were 
never updated.  

The Board should consider her untimely application in the 
interest of justice because her records were never evaluated for 
awards during the time of her deployment.  

In support of her requests, the applicant provides a copy of a 
travel voucher.

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


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

According to the applicant’s paid travel voucher dated 14 Jun 
07, she deployed to Al Udeid, QATAR during the period 10 Jan 
07 – 13 May 07.  


AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

NGB/A1PS recommends denial and states in part, that the 
applicant has not exhausted avenues of administrative relief.  
In this respect, the applicant needs to submit copies of her 
records review from the virtual Military Personnel Flight 
(vMPF), DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from 
Active Duty; or contingency order issued for the time period in 
question, and a special order indicating that she is eligible 
for award of the Meritorious Unit Award to the Force Support 
Squadron (FSS) for review.  

The complete A1PS evaluation is at Exhibit B.


APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the 
applicant on 10 Feb 15, for review and comment within 30 days 
(Exhibit C).  As of this date, no response has been received by 
this office.



THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

1.  The application was not timely filed; however, it is in the 
interest of justice to excuse the failure to timely file.

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 there is an available 
avenue of administrative relief (Force Support Squadron) 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 that he has not exhausted all 
available avenues of administrative relief prior to submitting 
her application to the BCMR; and the application will only be 
reconsidered upon exhausting all subordinate avenues of 
administrative relief.






The following members of the Board considered AFBCMR Docket 
Number BC-2014-03925 in Executive Session on 12 May 15, under 
the provisions of AFI 36-2603:
