AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF:
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His fitness assessment (FA) score recorded on 30 December 2011
be removed from the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS).
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
Due to conflicting rates between his heart rate monitor and the
base heart rate monitor he was given an overall fitness score of
73 (the minimum overall passing score is 75). He has been under
observation for high blood pressure for the past two years. He
is now taking medication to control his blood pressure.
In support of his request, the applicant provides a copy of his
local base fitness assessment score sheet, a memorandum for
record (MFR) titled “Rebuttal to PT Failure,” AF Form 422,
Notification of Air Force Member’s Qualification Status, AF Form
469, Duty Limiting Conditions, documents extracted from his
medical records and a copy of AFPC/DPSIM’s letter dated
requesting
21 March 2012,
to
substantiate his request.
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.
By letter dated 21 March 2012, AFPC/DPSIM requested the
applicant provide additional supporting documentation to
substantiate his claim; specifically, copies of his AF Forms 469
and 422 indicating his limitations/type of blood pressure
medication.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
additional
documentation
AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial. DPSIM states the applicant did
not provide the requested documentation to substantiate his
claim. They recommend denial to have the fitness assessment
dated 30 December 2011, deleted 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 was forwarded to the
applicant on 4 June 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. 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.
We note the Air Force office of primary responsibility
recommends denial because the applicant did not provide
documentation to substantiate his request. In view of this, 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.
