                       RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 
         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 
 
IN THE MATTER OF: 
   
   
 
________________________________________________________________ 
 
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 
 
The  Fitness  Assessment  (FA)  dated  15  Feb  2012  be  removed  from 
the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS). 
 
________________________________________________________________ 
 
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 
 
He failed the FA dated 15 Feb 12 due to a medical issue, i.e., 
he  was  being  evaluated  by  a  neurosurgeon  for  a  possible  pineal 
gland cyst which most likely would be the cause of the headaches 
he experienced during the running portion of his FA. 
 
In  support  of  his  appeal,  the  applicant  provides  copies  of  an 
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 
Medical Records or Health Information, 16 Mar 12.   
 
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 SSgt (E-5). 
 
He received an unsatisfactory score on his FA dated 15 Feb 12.   
 
On 26 Apr 12, AFPC/DPSIM requested the applicant provide a copy 
of  his  AF  Form  469,  Duty  Limiting  Condition  Report  and 
AF Form 422,  Notification  of  Air  Force  Member’s  Qualification 
Status.   
 
________________________________________________________________ 
 
AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 
 
AFPC/DPSIM  recommends  denial.    DPSIM  notes  they  queried  the 
applicant for additional medical information with regard to his 

contention  that  he  failed  the  FA  due  to  a  medical  issue; 
however, the applicant failed to respond to their request. 
 
The complete 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  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.
