RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-01862
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
The unsatisfactory Fitness Assessment (FA) scores dated 5 August
2012, 28 August 2012, 6 January 2013, 7 April 2013 and
8 September 2013, be corrected in the Air Force Fitness
Management System (AFFMS).
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The AFFMS did not provide an accurate assessment of her personal
fitness. A cardiologist determined that her normal, but rapid
heart rate affected her previous FAs. Once the assessment was
provided to her unit, she was exempt from the cardio component
and received an Excellent FA score.
In support of her requests, the applicant provides copies of her
FA scorecard, AFFMS printout, and Statement of Attending
Physician.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
In a letter dated 11 August 2014, SAF/MRBR advised the applicant
that AFI 36-2603, Air Force Board for Correction of Military
Records, paragraph 4.7.3, requires that if an applicant has not
exhausted all available effective administrative remedies, the
application will be denied by the Board on that basis. SAF/MRBR
invited the applicant to administratively close her case until
such time that she is able to avail herself of the
administrative avenues described in the attached AFPC/DPSIM
advisory opinion. As of this date, no response has been
received by this office (Exhibit C).
?
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
ARPC/DPSIM recommends denial. The applicant has not exhausted
her administrative remedies. In accordance with AFI 36-2905,
Fitness Program, the applicants first avenue of relief is to
appeal her FA scores to the Air Force Fitness Assessment Appeals
Board (FAAB), within two years of discovering an error or
injustice.
The complete DPSIM evaluation is at Exhibit B.
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 11 August 2014, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was
forwarded to the applicant 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 application was timely filed.
2. 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 that the FAAB is an
available avenue of administrative relief the applicant has not
first pursued. In view of this, we find her request is not
ready for adjudication at this level, as there exists a
subordinate level of appeal that has not first been pursued.
Therefore, in view of the above, we find no basis to recommend
granting the relief sought in this portion of his application.
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified that she has not exhausted all
available avenues of administrative relief prior to submitting
his application to the Board; and the application will only be
reconsidered upon exhausting all subordinate avenues of
administrative relief.
The following members of the Board considered this application
