RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-05565 COUNSEL: NONE ________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: Her Fitness Assessment (FA), dated 26 Sep 12, be removed from the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS). ________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: Due to health reasons she was unable to pass the FA. On 27 Sep 12, she was examined by her provider who determined her health condition was the underlying cause for the failure. In support of her request, the applicant provides a copy AF Form 108, Physical Fitness Education and Intervention Processing, and a copy of her FA scores. The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A. ________________________________________________________________ STATEMENT OF FACTS: A resume of the applicant’s FA results are as follows: Date Composite Score Rating 5 Oct 12 100.00 Excellent *26 Sep 12 70.88 Unsatisfactory 21 Mar 12 80.13 Satisfactory 2 Nov 11 80.63 Satisfactory 27 Apr 11 89.00 Satisfactory * Contested FAs ________________________________________________________________ AIR FORCE EVALUATION: AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial. The applicant failed to demonstrate an error or injustice. Further, according to the governing instructions, “If an Airman becomes injured or ill during the FA and is unable to complete all required components, he/she will have the option of being evaluated at the Medical Treatment Facility (MTF) but his/her test will still count unless rendered invalid by the Unit Commander.” The AF Form 108 provided by the applicant is evidence of injury/illness and the commander acknowledged that there was a medical reason for the applicant’s failing the FA. However, there is no evidence the commander invalidated the assessment. While the medical authority can recommend the FA be removed due to injury, only the commander can actually invalidate the assessment. The complete DPSIM evaluation is at Exhibit C. ________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION: A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 8 Mar 13 for review and comment within 30 days. As of this date, no response has been received by this office (Exhibit D). ________________________________________________________________ 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 that the applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice. Therefore, 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. ________________________________________________________________ The following members of the Board considered AFBCMR Docket Number BC-2012-05565 in Executive Session on 12 Sep 13, under the provisions of AFI 36-2603: , Panel Chair , Member , Member The following documentary evidence was considered: Exhibit A.
