RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF:
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His fitness assessment (FA) score recorded on 1 March 2011 be
removed from the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS)
because of physical ailment.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
During the physical fitness assessment on 1 March 2011, he had a
stabbing pain in his right kidney. The pain was causing a lot
of discomfort. To show he was current on his fitness
assessment, he proceeded to take the test so he could sign up
for an upcoming deployment in March 2011. After the test he
went to see his urologist to be cleared to deploy. He told his
doctor he was still having pain on his right side. The doctor
requested an x-ray of his kidneys. Two kidney stones, 6x6mm in
diameter, were found. He was informed he had to have a
lithotripsy on 10 March 2011, of his right kidney, to eliminate
the stones that were causing the problem. The urologist did not
clear him to deploy. He is now left with a fitness assessment
failure. He has been dealing with the pain of kidney stones
since June 2010. He had a prior lithotripsy on
11 November 2010, and still continues to have issues passing
smaller stones when he urinates. He has been scheduled to see
the urologist for further assessment.
In support of his request, the applicant provides a personal
statement and copies of his individual fitness tests history and
extracts from his medical records.
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 Technical Sergeant (TSgt), E-6.
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial. DPSIM states on 26 March 2012, a
memorandum was sent to the applicant requesting additional
documentation. Specifically, copies of his signed Fitness Score
Sheet, Fitness Questionnaire and AF Form 108, Physical Fitness
Education and Intervention Processing, from March 2011,
indicating his injury hindered him from achieving a passing
fitness assessment. The applicant did not provide the requested
documentation.
The complete AFPC/DPSIM evaluation is at Exhibit B.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant on 16 July 2012 for review and comment within 30 days
(Exhibit C). To date, this office has not received a 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 error or injustice. We took notice
of the applicant's complete submission in judging the merits of
the case. While the applicant contends the pain from his kidney
stones precluded him from successfully completing the contested
FA, we do not find the evidence provided sufficient to conclude
that his alleged injury precluded him from receiving a fair FA.
In view of this, and noting there was no documentation located
or provided that indicates the applicant was unable to complete
his FA, 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. 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:
2
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.
The following members of the Board considered this application
