(FAs) be declared void and removed from the Air Force Fitness
Management System (AFFMS).

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The contested fitness failures were the result of her thyroid

Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant is currently serving in the Regular Air Force in
the grade of staff sergeant (E-5).
On 11 Jul 11, the applicant participated in the contested FA,
attaining a composite score of 64.00, which constituted an
unsatisfactory assessment.
On 30 Apr 12, the applicant participated in the contested FA,
attaining a composite score of 72.70, which constituted an
unsatisfactory assessment.
On 31 Jul 12, the applicant participated in the contested FA,
attaining a composite score of 59.10, which constituted an
unsatisfactory assessment.
On 10 Sep 12, AFPC/DPSIM requested additional supporting
documentation from the applicant to substantiate her claim. In
response, she provided a memorandum signed by her primary care
manager (PCM) indicating she had a documented medical condition
that precluded her from achieving a passing score in a non-
exempt portion of the contested FAs.
The applicant submitted an AF Form 108, Physical Fitness
Education and Intervention Processing, dated 30 Nov 12,
indicating the applicant attended the Healthy Living Workshop
(HLW) on her own initiative. Also, stating that she has been
instructed over the past year on several occasions, to keep
working with the Health and Wellness Center (HAWC) and medical
to find the healthy way to improve her fitness. The form also
contained a handwritten note from the applicants PCM, dated 6
Dec 12, stating that she had a medical condition documented that
account for failures on the contested assessments.
The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are
contained in the letter prepared by the appropriate office of
the Air Force, which is attached at Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial, noting the applicant was sent a
memorandum requesting additional documentation, specifically, a
copy of her AF FM 108 indicating she was evaluated and had
medical condition that precluded her from obtaining a passing
score on the fitness assessment. Additionally, there is no
evidence to indicate she was injured or ill during the contested
FAs and was unable to complete the required components of the
FA. Furthermore, the applicant provided an AF FM 108 that did
not evaluate the fitness assessments she is requesting removed.
A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSIM evaluation, is at Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANTS REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The applicant indicates that she provided all available
documentation requested. She notes the AF Forms 108 she
provided were to show her efforts to provide the specific forms
requested and that she exhausted all efforts to meet the request
of the advisory. She reiterates that her original application
included documentation that indicates a medical evaluation was
done and concluded that her medical condition precluded her from
attaining a passing score during the contested FAs. Therefore,
she provides an AF Form 108 that she created and routed it
through the HAWC, her commander, and PCM for signatures in
support of her request. In support of her response, the
applicant submits copies of the aforementioned AF Form 108 and
additional supporting medical documentation, including doctors
notes with respect to her diagnosis.
A complete copy of the applicants response is at Exhibit E.
________________________________________________________________
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, including her response
to the advisory opinion, 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 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.
