         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2008-04521
            INDEX NUMBER:  104.00
            COUNSEL:  NONE

            HEARING DESIRED:  NO

______________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

1.  The Aerobic Fitness Report dated 15 Apr  08  be  declared  void  and
removed from her records.

2.  The Unfavorable Information File established on 6 Jun 08, be  voided
and removed from her records  (The  applicant  amended  her  appeal  and
withdrew this contention via an email dated 30 Apr 09).

______________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

She has several medical conditions that placed her on a medical  profile
on or before the examination date of  15  Apr  08.   She  completed  the
Fitness Screening Questionnaire on 7 Apr 08,  stating  that  she  needed
medical attention prior to testing and  her  fitness  assessment  should
have been delayed pending a medical evaluation.  She scheduled a medical
appointment on 11 Apr 08 and her physician initiated a  Duty  Limitation
Report.

In support of the appeal, the applicant provides a  personal  statement,
documentation related to her request, and an email indicating her desire
to withdraw her request to void the UIF.

The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.

______________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant currently serves in the Regular Air Force in the grade  of
staff sergeant and is stationed at Charleston AFB, South Carolina.   She
was scheduled for a fitness assessment and completed a Fitness Screening
Questionnaire on 7 Apr 09, noting that she  required  medical  attention
prior to her fitness  assessment.   She  was  scheduled  for  a  medical
appointment at the
Family Practice Clinic on 11 Apr 08 at 1245.  She  underwent  a  fitness
assessment on 15 Apr 08 at 0741,  which  she  failed  and  scored  below
average.  A Duty Limiting Condition Report provided by her physician  on
15 Apr 08 exempted her from walking and running.

On 19 Mar 09, AFPC/DPSIM requested additional  supporting  documentation
from the applicant to substantiate  her  claim.   As  of  this  date  no
response has been received from the applicant (Exhibit B).

______________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

HQ USAF/A1PP recommends denial.  A1PP  indicates  there  is  no  medical
basis that precluded the applicant from  being  assessed  on  the  cycle
ergometry on 15 Apr 08.  The 15 Apr 08 medical profile exempted her from
the run walk aerobic components only.  In conjunction with AF/SG3,  they
conclude the fitness assessment dated 15 Apr 08 is valid and should  not
be removed from her records.

A1PP states the applicant saw  her  physician  prior  to  the  15 Apr 08
fitness assessment, and she was not exempt from the cycle  ergometry  on
or prior to her 15 Apr 08 fitness assessment.

The complete A1PP evaluation is at Exhibit C.

______________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on  19
Jun 09, for review and comment within 30 days.   As  of  this  date,  no
response has been received by this office.

______________________________________________________________

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 (OPR) and adopt  its  rationale  as  the  basis  for  our
conclusion the applicant  has  not  been  the  victim  of  an  error  or
injustice.  Therefore, in the absence of evidence to  the  contrary,  we
find no compelling 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.

    Additionally, unit commanders may request an extension of the close-out date, when an individual is required to fitness test immediately preceding the EPR close-out date and fails to meet fitness standards. It appears the applicant contends that he was injured during the 22 Sep 08 PT test, and the test should be invalidated and the EPR closing on 9 Oct 08 should be declared void and removed from his records. Further, the Board is not persuaded the EPR should be voided, since he failed the...
