AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of 
an error or an injustice.  

In accordance with AFI 36-2905, Fitness Program, any military 
member can appeal his/her FA via Wing Appeal and subsequently 
through the Air Force Fitness Assessment Appeals Board (FAAB), 
within two years of discovering an error/injustice. In this 
case, the applicant’s case has not been considered by her Wing 
commander, nor has it been reviewed by the FAAB; therefore, the 
applicant has not exhausted all available avenues of 
administrative relief.

A complete copy of the AFPC/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 23 Jan 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. 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 yet 
pursued.  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 she has not exhausted all 
available avenues of administrative relief prior to submitting 
her application to the BCMR; and the application will only be 
reconsidered upon exhausting all subordinate avenues of 
administrative relief.
