RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2013-05484

			COUNSEL:  NONE

			HEARING DESIRED:  NO


________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

The Fitness Assessment (FA), dated 30 Jun 10 be declared void and removed from the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS).

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He states, at the time the previous AFI 36-2905, dated (20 Dec 2010), that any waist measurement under 40” was considered passing.

The FA he took was not entered into AFFMS until after the revised standard (1 Jul 12) had taken effect which resulted in the incorrect FA score.
 
The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.

________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:


IAW AFI 36-2905, dated 21 Oct 2013; states any military member can appeal their Fitness Assessment through a Wing-Level Appeals Board and through the AFPC 
Fitness Assessment Appeals Board (FAAB), within two years of discovering the 
error/injustice

In accordance with AFI 36-2905, Fitness Program, if an Airman becomes injured or ill during the FA and is unable to complete all required components, 
he/she will have the option of being evaluated at the Medical Treatment Facility (MTF) but his/her test will still count unless rendered invalid by the 
Unit Commander within five days of the assessment.  If the medical evaluation validates the illness/injury, the Unit Commander may invalidate the test 
results.  The Airman will then be required to retest within five duty days or when capable based on the recommendations of the medical provider and the 
Exercise Physiologist (EP).

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial of the applicant’s request for void/removal of FA dated 30 Jun 10. 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, was forwarded to the applicant on 20 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 applicant has not exhausted all remedies provided by esiting 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 and since this avenue of administrative relief was available at the time the applicant submitted her application, we find 
it would be inappropriate to consider this application 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.
