RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF: 			DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-03671

						COUNSEL:  NONE

						HEARING DESIRED:  NO 



APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Her 16 Mar 11 and 14 Jul 11 Fitness Assessments (FAs) be removed 
from the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS).


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

She had a medical condition that prevented her from achieving a 
passing score on her 16 Mar 11 and 14 Jul 11 FAs.  She previously 
had surgery and thought she had healed but this was not the case.  
As a result, she failed the two contested FAs.

The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at 
Exhibit A.


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant is currently serving on active duty in the Regular 
Air Force in the grade of Staff Sergeant (SSgt, E-5).  


AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial.  The applicant has not exhausted all 
available avenues of administrative relief prior to seeking 
correction of his military records.

IAW AFI 36-2905, Air Force Fitness Program 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.

The complete 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 17 Feb 15 for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit C).  
As of this date, no response has been received by this office.


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 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 that she has not exhausted all available 
avenues of administrative relief prior to submitting her 
application to the BCMR; and the application will only be 
reconsidered upon exhausting all subordinate avenues of 
administrative relief.


The following members of the Board considered AFBCMR Docket Number 
BC-2014-03671 in Executive Session on 13 May 15 under the 
provisions of AFI 36-2603:
