RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-01128
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His 23 Jan 14 Fitness Assessment (FA) failure be removed from
the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS).
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He took a FA on 23 Jan 14. He completed 48 push-ups and 46 sit-
ups. While completing the 1.5 mile run he began to feel pain in
his right leg and although he tried to push through the pain he
was unable to complete the test. He was unaware that he needed
to sign his scorecard stating he was injured.
The applicant states there is a history of language barriers
between the Korean nation Citizen Fitness Assessment Cell staff
and Active Duty personnel stationed at Kunsan, Korea. At the
time of the test, there was no other active duty person to speak
with regarding his issue nor was there a United States citizen
with whom he could communicate in English.
In support of his request, the applicant submits a letter
detailing the circumstance of his action during and after the
FA. This letter is indorsed by the Medical Support Squadron
Commander, in which he supports and concurs with the applicant
request to remove the 23 Jan 14 test results from AFFMS.
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 Staff Sergeant.
The applicants last five FA scores are as follows:
Date Result
22 Aug 14 Excellent
5 Feb 14 Excellent
* 23 Jan 14 Unsatisfactory
12 Jul 13 Excellent
13 Dec 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 C.
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial. The applicant has not exhausted
all available avenues of administrative relief. In accordance
with AFI 36-2905, Fitness Program, dated 21 Oct 13, any military
member can appeal his/her FA via Wing Appeal and subsequently
through the Air Force Fitness Assessment Appeals Board (FAAB),
within two years of discovering an error/injustice. In this
case, an appeal has not been considered by his Wing Commander,
nor has it been reviewed by the FAAB; therefore, the applicants
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 22 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.
