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 12 October 2011 be
removed from the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS).
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He had a known injury documented by a flight surgeon on a
Memorandum for Fitness Assessment Cell, dated 27 September 2011,
and a medical evaluation recommending postponing the fitness
assessment through 13 October 2011. Due to operational
necessity he was forced to take the fitness assessment on
12 October 2011 to comply with simulated Operational Readiness
Inspection (ORI) deployability requirements inside of the
recommended medical postponement period. Unfortunately, the
injury reoccurred during the run portion of the assessment
causing an unsatisfactory component score by 7 seconds.
In support of his request, the applicant provides a copy of his
AFFMS Individual Test History and a Memorandum for Fitness
Assessment Cell letter dated 27 September 2011.
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 Major, O-4.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial. DPSIM states the flight
surgeon’s recommended postponement period was for 7 to 10 days
from 3 October 2011, meaning the applicant could have tested
anywhere from 10 October to 13 October 2011, in which he tested
on 12 October 2011. They recommend denial of his request to
have the fitness assessment dated 12 October 2011, removed from
AFFMS.
The complete AFPC/DPSIM evaluation, with attachment, is at
Exhibit B.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation (Exhibit C) was forwarded to
the applicant on 12 April 2012, for review and comment within 30
days. 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. After a
thorough review of the evidence of record and the applicant's
submission, we see no evidence of error or impropriety in the
physical fitness test and subsequent fitness assessment score.
Therefore, we agree with the opinion and recommendation of the
Air Force office of primary responsibility and adopt its
rationale as the basis for our decision that the applicant has
failed to sustain his burden of having suffered either 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 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.
