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 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	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 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 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.


The following members of the Board considered AFBCMR Docket 
Number BC-2014-01128 in Executive Session on 26 Feb 15 under the 
provisions of AFI 36-2603:

	, Panel Chair
