                       RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2012-05565
		COUNSEL:  NONE
	
________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Her Fitness Assessment (FA), dated 26 Sep 12, be removed from 
the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS).

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

Due to health reasons she was unable to pass the FA.  On 27 Sep 
12, she was examined by her provider who determined her health 
condition was the underlying cause for the failure.  

In support of her request, the applicant provides a copy AF Form 
108, Physical Fitness Education and Intervention Processing, and 
a copy of her FA scores.

The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at 
Exhibit A.

________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

A resume of the applicant’s FA results are as follows:

	Date	Composite Score		Rating

   5 Oct 12         	100.00	Excellent
 *26 Sep 12	 70.88	Unsatisfactory
  21 Mar 12	 80.13	Satisfactory
	 2 Nov 11	 80.63	Satisfactory
	27 Apr 11	 89.00	Satisfactory

* Contested FAs
________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial.  The applicant failed to 
demonstrate an error or injustice.  Further, according to the 
governing instructions, “If an Airman becomes injured or ill 
during the FA and is unable to complete all required components, 
he/she will have the option of being evaluated at the Medical 
Treatment Facility (MTF) but his/her test will still count 
unless rendered invalid by the Unit Commander.”  The AF Form 108 
provided by the applicant is evidence of injury/illness and the 
commander acknowledged that there was a medical reason for the 
applicant’s failing the FA.  However, there is no evidence the 
commander invalidated the assessment.  While the medical 
authority can recommend the FA be removed due to injury, only 
the commander can actually invalidate the assessment.

The complete DPSIM evaluation is at Exhibit C.

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the 
applicant on 8 Mar 13 for review and comment within 30 days.  As 
of this date, no response has been received by this office 
(Exhibit D).

________________________________________________________________

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 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.
