RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2015-02217 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NO APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: His fitness records be corrected by removing the 1 Oct 14 fitness assessment (FA). APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: His 1 Oct 14, FA was erroneously entered as a failure into the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS). This FA was terminated during the sit-up portion due to a medical condition. He rescheduled the FA on 21 Oct 14, and received a satisfactory score. The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A. STATEMENT OF FACTS: During the matter in question, the applicant was serving in the Regular Air Force in the grade of airman first class (E-3). 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 of the applicant’s request to have the contested FA removed from the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS). In accordance with (IAW) AFI 36-2905, Fitness Program, any military member can appeal his/her FA via Wing Appeal and subsequently through the AF Fitness Assessment Appeals Board (FAAB). By not first filing an appeal through his Wing Appeal process and subsequently through the AF Fitness Assessment Appeals Board (FAAB), the applicant has not exhausted all administrative avenues of relief and his request should therefore be denied. In review of the documentation provided; the applicant’s AF Form 4446, Air Force Fitness Assessment Scorecard, dated 1 Oct 14, indicated he experienced an injury during the FA, and the FA monitor signed and dated the form. However, the applicant’s unit commander didn’t sign and date the form rendering his FA invalid due to a medical injury/condition. A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSIM evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit C. APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 5 Oct 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 recommend granting the relief sought in this application. 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. The following members of the Board considered AFBCMR Docket Number BC-2015-02217 in Executive Session on 27 Jan 16 under the provisions of AFI 36-2603: The following documentary evidence pertaining to AFBCMR Docket Number BC-2015-02217 was considered: Exhibit A.  DD Form 149, dated 30 Apr 15, w/atchs.
