APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: During her FA, her abdominals were measured incorrectly at 36 inches, which resulted in a failure. She was denied the option to be re-taped by another Physical Training Leader (PTL). However, she tested three days later on 16 May 2014 and received a measurement of 30.5 which led to a satisfactory score. The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A. STATEMENT OF FACTS: The applicant is currently serving in the Regular Air Force in the grade of staff sergeant. The applicant’s last five FA scores are as follows: COMPOSITE DATE SCORE RATING 22 November 2011 92.40 EXCELLENT 29 November 2012 87.30 SATISFACTORY 23 May 2013 91.80 EXCELLENT *13 May 2014 71.40 UNSATISFACTORY 16 May 2014 88.70 SATISFACTORY *Contested FA score. AIR FORCE EVALUATION: AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial. DPSIM states the applicant has not exhausted all available avenues of administrative relief prior to seeking correction of his military records. IAW AFI 36-2905, dated 21 October 2013, any military member can appeal his/her FA via Wing Appeal and subsequently through the AF Fitness Assessment Appeals Board (FAAB), within two years of discovering an error/injustice. In this case, the applicant's DD Form 149 was signed after 21 October 2013 (signed on 31 December 2013) 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 DPSIM complete evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit B. APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: On 10 November 2014, a copy of the evaluation was forwarded to the applicant for review and response within 30 days (Exhibit C). As of this date, no response has been received by this office. THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT: 1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing law or regulations. 2. The application is timely filed. 3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice. The applicant’s contentions are duly noted; however, we agree with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force office of primary responsibility and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion that the applicant has not exhausted his administrative avenues for relief. We advise the applicant to appeal the FA via Wing Appeal and subsequently through the FAAB as indicated by the office of primary responsibility. However, should after exhausting her administrative avenue of relief, the applicant feel she is still a victim of an error or injustice, the applicant may resubmit her application to the Board for consideration. THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT: The applicant be notified the evidence presented did not demonstrate the existence of an 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.
