RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-03935
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His Fitness Assessment (FA) dated 14 Feb 13 be removed from his
record in the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS).
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He had a heart procedure done shortly before doing the FA, so he
should not have had to test at that time. His Medical Provider
documented that his Primary Care Manager (PCM)/Specialist had
not cleared him to return to exercise and the exemptions for his
previous FA, in effect 9 Nov 12, should have remained active
until 1 Feb 13.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant is currently serving as a Technical Sergeant
(TSgt/E-6).
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 indicating the applicant has not
exhausted all available avenues of administrative relief prior
to seeking correction of his military records.
In Accordance With (IAW) AFI 36-2905, Fitness Program, dated 21
Oct 13, any military member can appeal his/her FA via Wing
Appear and subsequently through the AF Fitness Assessment
Appeals Board (FAAB), within two years of discovering an
error/injustice (in this case the date of discovery was 21 Aug
14). In this case, the applicants DD Form 149 was signed after
21 Oct 13 (signed on 17 Sep 14) and the 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 IAW current Air Force guidance.
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 13 Nov 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.
