RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-00905
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His 11 Oct 2011 Unsatisfactory Fitness Assessment (FA) score
be removed from the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS).
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
On 11 Oct 2011, he received an unsatisfactory FA score for
failing the cardio component due to the winds. AFI 36-2905, Air
Force Fitness Program, para 16a states the wind must be at or
below 15 miles per hour (mph) with less than 20 mph gusts. On
the morning of his test the wind was well above standards as
noted by base weather.
In support of his request, the applicant provides copies of a
memorandum and email communiqué from base weather verifying the
wind speed on the date in question, and an extract from AFI 36-
2905.
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 senior airman (SrA, E-4).
The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application,
extracted from the applicants military records are contained in
the letter prepared by the appropriate office of the Air Force
at Exhibit B.
________________________________________________________________
THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial. DPSIM states that on 23 Apr
2012, a memorandum was sent to the applicant requesting
additional documentation, specifically, a signed memorandum from
the local base weather office stating that the temperature that
day was less than 20 degrees Fahrenheit. The applicant did not
provide the requested documentation.
The complete DPSIM evaluation, with attachment, is at Exhibit B.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant on 16 Jul 2012 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 the applicant has not
been the victim of an error or injustice. DPSIM invited the
applicant to provide additional documentation; specifically a
signed memorandum from the local base weather office stating the
temperature on the day in question was less than 20 degrees
Fahrenheit. However, the applicant did not respond. Per AFI
36-2905, paragraph 16a, Cold Stress: air temperature must be
less than 20 degrees Fahrenheit with winds more than 15 mph
sustained or 20 mph gusting. Although the applicant provided
documentation reflecting the average winds on the day in
question were between 19 mph and gusting to 28 mph, it did not
include the temperature. Consequently, the conditions for cold
stress as indicated above were not met. 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.
