AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial. AFI 36-2905, paragraph 2.3.2 -
states all members must complete the Fitness Screening
Questionnaire (FSQ) prior to FA. Paragraph 2.3.2.1 - states the
FSQ should be completed no earlier than 30 calendar days (90 days
for ARC), but NLT 7 days prior to FA to provide time for medical
evaluation, when indicated. On 16 December 2011, the member
tested on all four components. The member scored 42.30 component
points for the cardio test. The member scored 15.10 component
points for an abdominal circumference measurement of 37.5 inches.
The member completed 55 pushups resulting in 9.50 component
points and was exempt from the sit-ups component. Per AFI 36-
2905 - Members must monitor his/her FA exemptions, schedule any
necessary medical examinations, and initiate FA test arrangements
in a timely manner. The member provided signed documentation
annotating that the scores he received reflected his performance.
The DPSIM complete evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit C.

On 27 March 2012, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was
forwarded to the applicant for review and response 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 an error or an 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 failed to sustain his burden of proof of the
existence 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 an error or injustice; the
application was denied without a personal appearance; and the
application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of
2
newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this
