RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-04800 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NO APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: The Fitness Assessment (FA) dated 28 May 2014 be removed from her record in the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS). APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: On 28 May 2014, she attempted to complete her first FA with all components after three knee surgeries. After the push-ups and starting the sit-ups her left knee was sore and had buckled. She stopped and instead of trying to go on she received a Did Not Finish (DNF). The DNF was not invalidated by her chain of command. She made a decision to stop the test while she was hurting to prevent her from failing the test. Her Primary Care Manager (PCM) and physical therapist agreed with her decision. 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 technical sergeant. 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 B. AIR FORCE EVALUATION: AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of an error or an injustice. 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 10 November 20l4) and the appeal has been considered by her wing commander; however, it has not been reviewed by the FAAB; therefore, the applicant's request has not been submitted IAW current Air Force guidance. 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 17 February 2015 for review and comment 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 OPR and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion that the applicant has not exhausted her administrative avenues for relief. We recommend the applicant appeal her FA through the AF FAAB. 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 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.
