RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF: 	DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-03880

			COUNSEL:  NONE

			HEARING DESIRED:  NO 


APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Her Fitness Assessment (FA) dated 26 Jul 13 be corrected to 
reflect “Satisfactory” in the Air Force Fitness Management 
System (AFFMS).


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

In accordance with AFI 36-2906, Fitness Program, the AFI was on 
a 180 day AF Guidance Memorandum, dated 3 Jan 13 and expired on 
3 Jul 13.  As such, the current FA guidance is deferred to the 
previous regulation, AFI 10-248, Air Force Fitness Program, in 
which a cumulative score of 75% counts as passing.  This 
supersedes the previous instruction that states member must meet 
the minimum requirements for each four components to pass the 
test.

Her FA results on 26 Jul 13, which her records reflect a 30 inch 
waist, completion of 34 push-ups, completion of 23 sit-ups and a 
run time of 14:43 equals a total score of 80.30%.

In support of her request, the applicant submits copy of her Air 
Force Fitness Management report, dated 1 Aug 13, an excerpt from 
AFI 10-248, dated 24 May 05, and Air Force Guidance Memorandum 5 
for AFI 36-2905, dated 3 Jan 13.

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


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant is currently serving in the Regular Air Force in 
the grade of Staff Sergeant. 

The applicant’s last five FA scores are as follows:

	Date	Score

	07 Oct 14	Excellent
	18 Oct 13	Excellent
*	26 Jul 13	Unsatisfactory
	19 Feb 13	Satisfactory
	24 Oct 11	Satisfactory

* Contested FA score

The applicant originally submitted her BCMR application on 
19 Aug 13 but was returned due to the absence of her signature.  
The applicant’s resubmission was received on 6 May 14.   

The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are 
contained in the memorandum prepared by the Air Force office of 
primary responsibility (OPR), which is attached at Exhibit C.    


AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of 
an error or an injustice.  

In accordance with AFI 36-2905, dated 21 October 2013, any 
military member can appeal their FA via Wing Appeal and 
subsequently through the Air Force Fitness Assessment Appeals 
Board (FAAB), within two years of discovering an error or 
injustice. In this case, the applicant's DD Form 149 was signed 
on 31 Dec 13 and the appeal has not been considered by her Wing 
Commander, nor has it been reviewed by the FAAB; therefore, the 
applicant's request has not been submitted in accordance with 
current Air Force guidance.

A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSIM 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 27 Jun 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.  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.  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 she 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.
