RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF: 			DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-04187

						COUNSEL:  NONE

						HEARING DESIRED:  NO 



APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His 28 Jun 13 Fitness Assessment (FA) be removed from the Air 
Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS).


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He had a medical condition that prevented him from achieving a 
passing score on 28 Jun 13 FA.  He was not fully aware of his 
ability to reschedule his FA for later date.

The applicantÂ’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 Senior Airman (SrA, E-4).  

In a letter dated 13 Jan 15, SAF/MRBR afforded the applicant an 
opportunity to request that his case be administratively closed to 
pursue the administrative avenues described in the Air Force 
evaluation below prior to submitting his application to the 
AFBCMR.


AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial.  The applicant failed to provide an 
invalidation memorandum from his Unit Commander and he 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 13 Jan 15 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 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-2014-04187 in Executive Session on 13 May 15 under the 
provisions of AFI 36-2603:

		              , Panel Chair
	                        , Member
	                  , Member

Number BC-2014-04187 was considered:
