AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-01398
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
IN THE MATTER OF:
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His 12E7 Weighted Airman Promotion System (WAPS) scores be used
for 11E7 WAPS supplemental consideration.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
1. On 1 Apr 10, he received approval of his request for a
humanitarian reassignment due to his mother’s declining health.
His mother passed away on 21 Aug 10 and he had to deal with her
loss and other issues regarding her estate that caused him much
mental stress. These issues coupled with his medical conditions
greatly affected his performance on the 11E7 WAPS testing.
2. He has documentation from his Primary Care Manager (PCM) that
shows his physical impairment. He was experiencing fatigue and
shortness of breath which were symptoms of his hypothyroidism.
He was referred to see a specialist; however, the original
appointment was with the wrong physician and then was unable to
reschedule his appointment prior to him changing duty stations.
After arriving at his new duty station, he consulted with his PCM
and was able to get the proper blood work accomplished which
confirmed his elevated hypothyroid condition. His dosage of
medicine was adjusted on 10 Aug 10, 24 Sep 10, and 6 Oct 10.
3. On 29 Mar 11, he tested for promotion to the grade of master
sergeant. He was not diagnosed with his current medical
condition until May 11 when he was told he had an underactive
thyroid. He did not refuse testing since he was unaware of his
present health condition.
3. He was also diagnosed with glucose intolerance on 16 Sep 11
and sleep apnea on 16 Nov 11. He feels his medical conditions
were responsible for his impaired testing ability and duty
performance during the 11E7 testing cycle.
In support of his request, the applicant provides copies of
letters of support, a copy of his supplemental promotion
consideration results, a copy of his Board for Correction of
Military Records (BCMR) Directive and Record of Proceedings, a
copy of his Tuition Assistance Waiver Request package, and
excerpts from his medical records.
His 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.
On 12 Jan 12, the applicant was granted a waiver of the “No Show”
for his WAPS testing by the BCMR and provided supplemental
promotion consideration for the 10E7 promotion cycle; however, he
was non-selected for promotion.
The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are
contained in the letter prepared by the appropriate office of the
Air Force, which is at Exhibit B.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOE recommends denial. The applicant did not inform
anyone that he felt physically unable to test prior to or during
his testing. His request for correction to his records comes in
well after the selects were run and the results were publicly
released. The applicant found out that he missed promotion by
less than 10 points. Further, even if the applicant’s request is
approved, he will miss promotion by 4.85 points for the 11E7
cycle.
The complete DPSOS 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 30 May 11 for review and comment within 30 days. As of this
date, this office has received no response.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing
law or regulations.
2. The application was timely filed.
2
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. 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.
