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 applicant’s 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 applicant’s 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 applicant’s 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. The following documentary evidence pertaining to AFBCMR Docket Number BC-2014-03935 was considered: Exhibit A. DD Form 149, dated 17 Sep 14, w/atchs. Exhibit B. Applicant's Master Personnel Records. Exhibit C. Memorandum, AFPC/DPSIM, dated 21 Oct 14. Exhibit D. Letter, SAF/MRBR, dated 13 Nov 14.
