________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

The Fitness Assessment (FA), dated 29 Mar 11 be declared void and removed from the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS).

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

She was told she met the required number of sit-ups and was given a score of 84.6.

She was notified later that day that she missed the required number of sit-ups by one, failing the FA.

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

________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

On 29 Mar 11, the applicant participated in the contested FA and attained an unsatisfactory composite score.

IAW AFI 36-2905, Fitness Program, dated 21 Oct 13, states any military member can appeal their FA through a Wing-Level Appeals Board and through the AFPC 
Fitness Assessment Appeals Board (FAAB), within two years of discovering the error/injustice.
________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial of the applicant’s request for void/removal of FA dated 29 Mar 11. Specifically, the applicant has not exhausted all available avenues of administrative relief prior to seeking correction of military records. 

A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSIM evaluation is at Exhibit B.

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation, with attachment, was forwarded to the applicant on 9 Feb 14 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 there is an available avenue of administrative relief the applicant has not 
first pursued.  As such, 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 compelling basis to recommend granting the relief sought in this application.
________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:

The applicant be notified that he has not exhausted all available avenues of administrative relief prior to submitting his application to the BCMR; and the 
application will only be reconsidered upon exhausting all subordinate avenues of administrative relief.
