he experienced during the running portion of his FA.

Air Force Form 108, Physical fitness Education and Intervention
Processing, dated 6 Mar 12, and a Department of Veterans Affairs
(DVA) VA Form 10-5345, Request for Authorization to Release

AF Form 422, Notification of Air Force Member’s Qualification
Status.

applicant on 26 Jul 12 for review and comment within 30 days.
As of this date, no response has been received by this office
(Exhibit C).
________________________________________________________________
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; 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 the applicant has not
been the victim of an error or injustice. In this respect,
while we note the comments of the medical provider; however, the
applicant has not provided the requested documentation. As a
result, we did not find the evidence compelling. Should the
applicant provide additional information to support his claim,
we would be willing to reconsider his appeal. In view of the
above and 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 material error or injustice; the
application was denied without a personal appearance; and the
application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of
newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this
application.
