RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2013-00265

	XXXXXXX	COUNSEL:  NONE

			HEARING DESIRED:  NO


________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

The Fitness Assessment (FA), dated 31 Jan 12, be declared void and removed from the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS).

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He had a medical condition, kidney stones, which precluded him from passing the contested FA.  As a result the scores were unjustly entered into AFFMS.

In support of his appeal the applicant submits medical documentation validating his medical condition and an AF Form 108, Physical Fitness Education and Intervention Processing, signed by his medical provider and commander indicating that the test should be invalidated and removed from his record.  

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

________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

In accordance with AFI 36-2905, dated 21 Oct 2013, any military member can appeal their Fitness Assessment through a Wing-Level Appeals Board and through the AFPC Fitness Assessment Appeals Board (FAAB), within two years of discovering the error/injustice

________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial of the applicant’s request, as he has not exhausted all available avenues of administrative relief prior to seeking correction of military records. 

A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSIM 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 15 May 14 for review and comment within 30 days.  As of this date, no response has been received by this office (Exhibit C).

_______________________________________________________________

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 and since this avenue of administrative relief was available at the time the applicant submitted his application, we find it would be inappropriate to consider this application 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 compelling 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 his application to the BCMR; and the application will only be reconsidered upon exhausting all subordinate avenues of administrative relief.  

________________________________________________________________
