He has been under pain management treatment for Rheumatoid 
Arthritis since July 2008 and believes the side effects for the

Force Fitness Management report, and extracts from a commercial 
web site pertaining to the side effects of Pamelor and Elavil.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

HQ USAF/A1PP recommends denial noting the medical subject matter 
expert indicates that many medications can potentially result in 
weight gain; however, it is the responsibility of the service 
member to meet the abdominal circumference standards. The 
applicant’s abdominal circumference measurements have been 
consistent throughout his Air Force Fitness Management System 
history. 

 


The HQ USAF/A1PP complete evaluation is at Exhibit C.

on 2 Sep 11, for review and comment within 30 days. As of this 
date, no response has been received by this office (Exhibit D).

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 an 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 the 
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. 
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 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.
