RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-02135 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NO ________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: The Fitness Assessment (FA), dated 09 Jan 13 be declared void and removed from the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS). ________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: She had an anxiety attack that happened during the contested FA, which precluded her from obtaining a satisfactory overall rating. In support of the appeal, the applicant submits a Standard Form 600 dated 4 Mar 13 stating she had a chronic adjustment disorder with anxiety and depressed mood. 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 airmen first class (A1C). On 09 Jan 13, the applicant participated in the contested FA and attained composite score of 77.80 unsatisfactory. Applicant failed to provide proof that she informed the FA tester of her medical condition during or after the test. Information extracted from the AFFMS indicates the applicant failed to complete the sit-ups and push-ups of the contested FA. The applicant’s last five FA results are as follows: Date Composite Score Rating 15 Oct 13 80.60 Satisfactory 25 Apr 13 91.00 Excellent *09 Jan 13 77.80 Unsatisfactory 11 Oct 12 33.80 Unsatisfactory 17 Jul 12 34.30 Unsatisfactory * Contested FA In accordance with AFI 36-2905, Fitness Program, 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 within five days of the assessment. If the medical evaluation validates the illness/injury, the Unit Commander may invalidate the test results. The Airman will then be required to retest within five duty days or when capable based on the recommendations of the medical provider and the Exercise Physiologist (EP). AIR FORCE EVALUATION: AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial of the applicant’s request to remove the FA dated 9 Jan 13 from AFFMS. While the applicant did provide documentation that indicates she was seen at the Military Treatment Facility on 4 Mar 13 and was prescribed medication, there was no documentation from a medical authority certifying that she suffered from a medical condition that precluded her from achieving a passing score on the contested FA nor did she provide an invalidation memo from her commander. A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSIM evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit B. ________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 24 Dec 13 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 that the applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice. While the applicant has provided medical documentation confirming the diagnosis of her condition, she has not met her burden of proving how this condition precluded her from successfully completing the contested FA. In this respect, we note the Standard FM 600 indicating the applicant had chronic adjustment disorder; however she failed to provide a “Medical Determination Letter” from her medical provider along with support from her commander requesting the FA be invalidated. Should the applicant provide such evidence, we would be willing to reconsider her request. However, in view of the above and 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 the evidence presented did not demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; the application was denied without a personal appearance; and 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-2013-02135 in Executive Session on 27 Mar 14, under the provisions of AFI 36-2603: , Chair , Vice Chair , Member The following documentary evidence was considered: Exhibit A.  DD Form 149, dated 27 Mar 13, w/atchs.
