IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2008-04521
		INDEX NUMBER:  104.00
		COUNSEL:  NONE

		HEARING DESIRED:  NO

______________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

1.  The Aerobic Fitness Report dated 15 Apr 08 be declared void and removed from her records.

2.  The Unfavorable Information File established on 6 Jun 08, be voided and removed from her records (The applicant amended her appeal and withdrew this contention via an email dated 30 Apr 09).

______________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

She has several medical conditions that placed her on a medical profile on or before the examination date of 15 Apr 08.  She completed the Fitness Screening Questionnaire on 7 Apr 08, stating that she needed medical attention prior to testing and her fitness assessment should have been delayed pending a medical evaluation.  She scheduled a medical appointment on 11 Apr 08 and her physician initiated a Duty Limitation Report.

In support of the appeal, the applicant provides a personal statement, documentation related to her request, and an email indicating her desire to withdraw her request to void the UIF.

The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant currently serves in the Regular Air Force in the grade of staff sergeant and is stationed at Charleston AFB, South Carolina.  She was scheduled for a fitness assessment and completed a Fitness Screening Questionnaire on 7 Apr 09, noting that she required medical attention prior to her fitness assessment.  She was scheduled for a medical appointment at the 

Family Practice Clinic on 11 Apr 08 at 1245.  She underwent a fitness assessment on 15 Apr 08 at 0741, which she failed and scored below average.  A Duty Limiting Condition Report provided by her physician on 15 Apr 08 exempted her from walking and running.

On 19 Mar 09, AFPC/DPSIM requested additional supporting documentation from the applicant to substantiate her claim.  As of this date no response has been received from the applicant (Exhibit B).

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

HQ USAF/A1PP recommends denial.  A1PP indicates there is no medical basis that precluded the applicant from being assessed on the cycle ergometry on 15 Apr 08.  The 15 Apr 08 medical profile exempted her from the run walk aerobic components only.  In conjunction with AF/SG3, they conclude the fitness assessment dated 15 Apr 08 is valid and should not be removed from her records.

A1PP states the applicant saw her physician prior to the 15 Apr 08 fitness assessment, and she was not exempt from the cycle ergometry on or prior to her 15 Apr 08 fitness assessment.

The complete A1PP 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 19 Jun 09, for review and comment within 30 days.  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 was timely filed.

3.  Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the existence of error or injustice.  We took notice of the applicant's complete submission in judging the merits of the case; however, we agree with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force office of primary responsibility (OPR) and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion the applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice.  Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no compelling basis to recommend granting the relief sought in this application.

_______________________________________________________________

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:

The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; that the application was denied without a personal appearance; and that the application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this application.
