The applicant’s complete submission, with attachment, is at Exhibit A. STATEMENT OF FACTS: The applicant is currently serving on active duty in the Regular Air Force in the grade of Technical Sergeant (TSgt, E-6).

The applicant has not exhausted all his administrative remedies. In accordance with AFI 36- 2905, Fitness Program, the applicant can appeal his FA scores through Wing appeal and subsequently the Air Force Fitness Assessment Appeals Board (FAAB), within two years of discovering an error or injustice. According to AFI 36-2905, paragraph 3.4.2.1.1 "If an Airman checks the illness/injury block of the AF Form 4446, Air Force Fitness Score Card, the FAC staff (or UFPM where no FAC exists) will sign the form acknowledging that they will hold scores to allow for medical evaluation and Commander review. Additionally, the FAC staff will transmit a copy of the AF Form 4446 to the UFPM for the Unit Commander's review within two duty days. For RegAF and AGR Airmen, the FAC (or UFPM where no FAC exists) will enter the FA results in AFFMS on the 6th duty day if the Commander does not invalidate test results or no response from the Commander is received within this timeframe. For non- AGR and Traditional ARC Airmen, the FAC (or UFPM where no FAC exists) will enter scores into AFFMS at the conclusion of the next UTA if the Commander does not invalidate the test results or no response from the Commander is received within this timeframe." A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSIMC evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit B. APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 6 Jul 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 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 consider the applicant’s requested relief at this time. THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT: The applicant be notified that all available avenues of administrative relief have not been exhausted; and the application will only be reconsidered upon submission of documentary evidence indicating that said avenues of administrative relief have been exhausted.
