RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2015-00900 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NO APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: His sit-up component of the Fitness Assessment (FA), dated 1 July 2013 should be corrected to reflect 42 sit-ups instead of 34 sit-ups. APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: His annotated sit-up score is erroneously recorded in the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS). It does not meet the minimum Basic Military Training (BMT) physical training test requirement to graduate. According to Air Force Instruction (AFI) 36-2905, in order to graduate from or obtain a commission/enlistment through BMT, students must have a current FA composite score of greater than or equal to 75, and meet all required component minimums. He successfully completed the air force basic military training course on 28 June 2013. 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 airman first class (E-3). On 1 July 2013, the applicant participated in the contested FA, attaining an overall composite score of 241.8, which constituted an “unsatisfactory” fit level. The applicant was credited with the following component scores: Aerobic Time – 34:03/164.4 points, Abdominal – 97.5/60.00 points, Push-ups – 108/17.4 points, Sit-ups – 102/0.00 points. 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. The applicant has not exhausted all available avenues of administrative relief prior to seeking correction of his military records. In accordance with (IAW) Air Force Instruction (AFI) 36-2905, 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 DD Form 149, Application for Correction of Military Record under the Provisions of Title 10. U.S. Code, Section 1552, was signed on 26 February 2015, the appeal has not been considered by his Wing commander, and 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 C. APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 11 September 2015 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 application was timely filed. 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 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-2015-00900 in Executive Session on 15 October 2015 under the provisions of AFI 36-2603: Chair Member Member The following documentary evidence was considered: Exhibit A.  DD Form 149, dated 26 February 2015, w/atchs. Exhibit B.  Applicant's Master Personnel Records. Exhibit C.  Memorandum, AFPC/DPSIM, dated 8 July 2015. Exhibit D.  Letter, SAF/MRBR, dated 11 September 2015.
