His complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A. ________________________________________________________________ STATEMENT OF FACTS: On 15 Nov 2013, the Fitness Assessment Appeals Board (FAAB) disapproved the applicant’s request to remove his FA, dated 21 Dec 2012, from the AFFMS. The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are contained in the letter prepared by the appropriate office of the Air Force. Accordingly, there is no need to recite these facts in this Record of Proceedings. ________________________________________________________________ THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION: AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial. In accordance with AFI 36-2905, Air Force 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 but his/her test will still count unless rendered invalid by the Unit Commander." The applicant provided documentation for three different types of appointments that he made for the same condition. However, there is no documentation from his provider that stated he is precluded from the sit-up component. Furthermore, there is no documentation from his commander invalidating the FA. The complete DPSIM evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit B. ________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION: On 13 Dec 2013, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant for review and comment within 30 days.

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.
