THE AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
The Air Force Board for Correction of Military Records
(AFBCMR) is the highest level of administrative review within
the Department of the Air Force. Unless procured by fraud, a
decision is final and conclusive on all officers of the United States.
Once applicable records are obtained, applications are
screened to determine if they may be corrected without referral to the
AFBCMR. In many situations, corrections to
military records may be made administratively.
Records may be obtained and the request evaluated by
the office of primary responsibility (OPR). Applications that are not administratively
corrected by the OPR will be
considered by the AFBCMR. A copy of all advisory opinions are referred to the applicant or the applicant's counsel for
response.
Except in those cases where a personal appearance is
granted, the AFBCMR bases its decision on the evidence
contained in the case file. This normally consists of
military records, an advisory from the OPR, and statements,
arguments, and documents provided by the applicant. The burden of proof of
either error or injustice rests with the applicant.
