RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-04041
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
1. His fitness assessment tests, dated 6 October 2010 and
12 January 2011, be removed.
2. His Enlisted Performance Report (EPR) for the period of
21 November 2009 through 20 November 2010, be removed.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
After multiple complaints of ankle pain, an MRI taken on
19 October 2010 revealed that he had a fractured fibula and torn
ligaments in his right ankle. Unfortunately, the MRI was not read
by his Primary Care Manager (PCM) until 4 February 2011, after
which he was quickly scheduled for surgery. During that time, he
took two fitness tests that resulted in unsatisfactory.
He requests his records be corrected to reverse this injustice and
restore the stellar career status which he held prior to this
incident.
In support of his request, the applicant provides a statement from
his PCM.
The applicants complete submission, with attachment, is at
Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant is currently serving in the Regular Air Force in the
grade of staff sergeant (E-5).
The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are
contained in the letters prepared by the appropriate offices of
the Air Force which are at Exhibits C and D.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial. On 6 October 2010, the member was
exempt from the cardio component of the test. He met the
requirements for the push up and sit up components, but failed the
abdominal component of the test.
On 12 January 2011, the member did not meet the minimum
requirement for the cardio and abdominal components of the test.
Although the applicants diagnosis has been confirmed, no
physician has indicated that his injury contributed to his
inability to pass his fitness assessment.
The complete DPSIM evaluation is at Exhibit C.
AFPC/DPSID recommends denial. The applicant did not file an
appeal through the Evaluation Reports Appeals Board.
An advisory opinion prepared by AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial of
the applicants request. Based on this recommendation, they
cannot support any correction of the contested EPR.
An EPR is the rating chains best judgment at the time it is
rendered. Once a report is accepted for file, only strong
evidence to the contrary warrants correction or removal from an
individuals record. The applicant has not substantiated the
contested report was not rendered in good faith by all
evaluators.
The complete DPSID evaluation is at Exhibit D.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the
applicant on 10 February 2012, for review and comment within
30 days (Exhibit E). As of this date, this office has received
no response.
_________________________________________________________________
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 injustice. After a thorough
review of the evidence presented, we are not persuaded that the
fitness assessment or the contested report is erroneous or unjust
as recorded. Therfore, we agree with the opinions and
recommendations of the Air Force offices of responsibility and
adopt their rationale as the basis for our conclusion that the
applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice. In
the absence of persuasive evidence to the contrary, we find no
compelling basis to recommend granting the relief sought in this
application.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS 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.
