RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-01345 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NO ________________________________________________________________ _ APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: The fitness assessment (FA) score she received on 29 December 2010 be removed from the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS). ________________________________________________________________ _ APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: During the run/cardio portion of the physical fitness (PT) test, she became ill and left the track. It is her belief that the test should have been terminated at that time. In support of her request, the applicant provides a copy of her AFFMS Individual Test History, AF Form 469, Duty Limiting Condition Report, AF Form 422, Notification of Air Force Member’s Qualification Status, and a letter addressed to the 43rd Medical Squadron/SGGF from her psychologist. Her 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 Staff Sergeant (SSgt). The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application extracted from the applicant’s military personnel records are contained in the letter prepared by the appropriate office of the Air Force (Exhibit C). Accordingly there is no need to recite these facts in this Record of Proceedings. AIR FORCE EVALUATION: USAF/A1PP recommends denial. A1PP states the applicant became ill during her fitness assessment and left the track. However, she has a run time of 16:37 annotated on her AFFMS history which is consistent with her previous run times. The applicant does not provide any additional information to support her position that she left the track. The A1PP medical subject matter expert reviewed applicant’s attached letter from the psychologist as well as her AF Form 469 and determined the referenced medical condition diagnosed as “Code 300.00 Anxiety State, Unspecified” would not apply to the test failure of 29 December 2010. The complete A1PP evaluation is at Exhibit C. ________________________________________________________________ _ APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: The applicant provided an undated letter with two attachments. The first attachment dated 19 May 2011 is a letter of support from a Technical Sergeant who was with applicant during the run portion of the PT test on 29 December 2010. The second attachment dated 23 May 2011 is from the applicant’s psychologist stating that the applicant completed psychotherapy between 21 January 2011 and 6 April 2011 for acute performance anxiety when faced with taking a PT test and that she will work with the applicant to find a referral to a psychologist since the applicant has been relocated to the state of Arizona during the course of this application. The applicant’s complete response is at Exhibit E 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. After a thorough review of the evidence of record and the applicant's submission, we see no evidence of error or impropriety in the physical fitness test and subsequent fitness assessment score. Therefore, we agree with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force office of primary responsibility and adopt the rationale expressed as the basis for our decision that the applicant has failed to sustain her burden of having suffered either an error or injustice. Therefore, in the absence of persuasive 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 this application BC-2011-01345 in Executive Session on 12 January 2011, under the provisions of AFI 36-2603: The following documentary evidence was considered: Exhibit A.
