RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-04178
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His Fitness Assessments (FAs), dated 26 Mar 10, 5 Aug 10, and
2 Dec 10 be removed from his records.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He has been under the care of several physicians that have all
confirmed that he has the beginning stages of a stress fracture
of the tibia in both legs and should have been exempted from the
1.5 mile run. The time of the injury dates back to Mar 10,
since then he has undergone a Medical Evaluation Board (MEB)
that confirms the diagnosis, and authorizes an alternate cardio
event.
In support of his appeal, the applicant provides copies of
letters from medical providers, AF Form 469, Duty Limiting
Condition, issued on 28 Sep 11, and extracts from his medical
records.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicants record indicates he failed his FAs dated,
26 Mar 10, 5 Aug 10, and 2 Dec 10. His AF Form 469, which
expires 27 Sep 12, reflects no running except for deployment
purposes. No jumping, squatting, sprinting, high impact
activities to the lower extremities. No walking for unlimited
distances except for 1 mile timed walk/at own pace and distance
as tolerated.
________________________________________________________________
THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial, stating, in part, that although
the applicants diagnosis has been confirmed no physician has
indicated that his injury contributed to his inability to pass
his FAs.
The complete AFPC/DPSIM evaluation is at Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant on 9 Dec 11 for review and response. 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 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 that the applicant has
not been the victim of an error or injustice. In this respect,
we note that none of the medical providers specifically
attributed his FA failures to his injury. As a result, we did
not find the evidence compelling. Should the applicant provide
additional information to support his claim, we would be willing
to reconsider his appeal. In view of the above and 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.
