						HEARING DESIRED:  NO

the correction by reentering the correct score twice and 
removing the false score; however, the correction could not be 
made.

Exhibit A.

*Contested FA scores.

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


AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial.  DPSIM states they have not found 
any documentation showing which FA entry from 27 June 2006 is 
correct.  Also, IAW AFI 36-2905, dated 21 October 2013, any 
military member can appeal his/her FA via Wing Appeal and 
subsequently through the AF Fitness Assessment Appeals Board 
(FAAB), within two years of discovering an error/injustice.  In 
this case, the applicant’s DD Form 149 was signed after 
21 October 2013; the appeal has not been considered by his Wing 
commander, nor has it been reviewed by the FAAB.  Therefore, the 
applicant’s request has not been submitted IAW current Air Force 
guidance.

The duplicate entry from this date can/should be removed 
regardless of the disposition of this board.  (Triplicate 
entries from 30 May 2007 were removed; this was a separate issue 
and was not referenced in the BCMR.)  There is no documentation 
showing which score from 27 June 2006 is correct; a lack of 
information in AFFMS is not sufficient evidence to remove a 
score.  Additionally, the applicant has not exhausted all 
available avenues of administrative relief prior to seeking 
correction of his military records.  (Though as a matter of 
practicality-considering the amount of time that has passed 
since this request was submitted - AFPC/DPSIM advises this 
latter statement not be a sole reason for denial; if sufficient 
evidence can be obtained the record should be corrected per this 
BCMR.)  Please note, if the board recommends approval - the 
Special Programs Branch is unable to remove any scores prior to 
1 July 2010 as only records on this date and after were merged 
into the new system.

A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSIM evaluation is at Exhibit C.






APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

The advisory states that he has not exhausted all available 
avenues of administrative relief.  It was then pointed out that 
he has two years to appeal the error to the Wing CC.  The 
advisory further states that since this error was not reported 
until 21 October 2013 he is within the two year window for Wing 
CC appeal.  He would like the record to show that he approached 
the 50th SW Fitness Monitor with this error and it was 
determined that since the error occurred (and was initially 
identified) over two years ago (27 June 2006) that he would have 
to submit a DD Form 149.  He believes that he is caught in the 
middle over interpretation of AFI 36-2905.  If the change cannot 
be approved - he request guidance be given to his chain of 
command that the authority to oversee this appeal is within 
their jurisdiction.

The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit E.


THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

1.  The applicant has 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 an error or injustice.  The 
applicant’s contentions are duly noted; however, we agree with 
the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force office of 
primary responsibility (OPR) and adopt its rationale as the 
basis for our conclusion that the applicant has not exhausted 
his administrative avenues for relief.  We advise the applicant 
to appeal his FA via Wing appeal and subsequently through the 
FAAB as outlined by the OPR.  However, should after exhausting 
his administrative avenue of relief, the applicant feel he is 
still a victim of an error or injustice, the applicant may 
resubmit his application to the Board for consideration.


THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:

The applicant be notified the evidence presented did not 
demonstrate the existence of an 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.





The following members of the Board considered AFBCMR Docket 
Number BC-2014-00591 in Executive Session on 28 May 2015, under 
the provisions of AFI 36-2603:
