AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2012-02490
		COUNSEL:  NONE
		HEARING DESIRED:  NO

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His Fitness Assessment (FA) dated 13 Oct 2012 be removed from 
the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS).

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

Due to an injury, he was unable to complete the sit-up component 
of the FA.  His Unit Fitness Program Manager (UFPM) and 
detachment chief were unaware the unit commander had the 
authority to invalidate a failed FA due to medical reasons.

In support of his request, the applicant provides a personal 
statement, copies of Air Force Guidance Memorandum (AFGM 3) to 
AFI 36-2905, Air Force Fitness Program, numerous letters of 
support, extracts from his medical records and various other 
documents associated with his request.

His 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 (TSgt, E-6).

________________________________________________________________

THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial.  DPSIM states on 27 Jun 2012, a 
memorandum was sent to the applicant requesting additional 
documentation.  Specifically, copies of his AF Form 469, Duty 
Limiting Condition Report; AF Form 422, Notification of Air 
Force Member’s Qualification Status; AF Form 108, Physical 
Fitness Education and Intervention Processing, and his signed 
fitness questionnaire.  The member did not provide the requested 
documentation.

The complete DPSIM evaluation is at Exhibit B.

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

On 28 Aug 2012, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded 
to the applicant for review and comment within 30 days.  As of 
this date, no response has been received by this office (Exhibit 
C).

________________________________________________________________

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 and adopt its 
rationale as the basis for our conclusion the applicant has not 
been the victim of an error or injustice.  Should the applicant 
provide medical documentation verifying he was unable to 
complete the sit-up component of the FA, we would be willing to 
reconsider his request.  However, in the absence of evidence to 
the contrary, we find no 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.
