RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-00921
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His Fitness Assessment (FA) dated 21 Feb 14 be removed from his
records.
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He has never failed a FA and has always exceeded the minimum
requirements in all categories.
While completing the sit-up portion of his FA, his assessor
failed to follow the guidelines in AFI 36-2905, Fitness Program,
whereas the assessor will count the correct number of sit-ups
aloud. If an incorrect sit-up is performed, the assessor will
repeat the number of the last correct sit-up and explain what is
being done incorrectly. None of the above mentioned
instructions happened which resulted in a different number than
he had counted. After the test, he approached the Fitness
Assessment Cell (FAC) member to discuss the situation and was
simply dismissed.
The applicants 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 Senior Airman.
The applicants last five FA scores are as follows:
Date Result
3 Nov 14 Satisfactory
22 May 14 Satisfactory
* 21 Feb 14 Unsatisfactory
19 Dec 12 Excellent
4 Jun 12 Satisfactory
* Contested FA test.
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 B.
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of
an error or an injustice. The applicant has not exhausted all
available avenues of administrative relief. The applicant can
appeal his FA via the Wing Appeal and subsequently through the
Air Force Fitness Assessment Appeals Board (FAAB), within two
years of discovering an error or injustice. In this particular
case neither of these avenues has been utilized.
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 19 Sep 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. 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, 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 the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of material 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.
