COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
The Fitness Assessment (FA) dated 13 Mar 12 be removed from the
Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS).
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was injured during the FA and was not able to complete the
sit-up component. He did not realize the extent of this injury
until he finished the FA and reported to the flight surgeon.
In support of his appeal, the applicant provides a copy of the Fitness Assessment (FA) Member Illness/Injury Claim Form and
various other documents.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 20 Aug 12, AFPC/DPSIM sent a memorandum to applicant
requesting additional documentation. Specifically, he needs to
provide a copy of his AF Form 108, Physical Fitness Education
and Intervention Processing; a signed score sheet and
questionnaire for the FA in question.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial, stating, in part, that the
applicant did not provide the requested documents. In addition,
the FA Member Illness/Injury Claim Form submitted by the
applicant did not reflect his commanders approval/disapproval.
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 6 Nov 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. Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to
demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice warranting
relief. After thoroughly reviewing the evidence of record and
noting the applicant's contentions, we believe that relief is
warranted. While we note DPSIM recommends denial, given the
apparent support from his commander and the medical provider
acknowledging that he had a legitimate injury, we find the
applicant has presented substantial evidence to support the
removal of his FA dated 13 Mar 12. Accordingly, we recommend
that his record be corrected as indicated below.
________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:
The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air
Force relating to APPLICANT, be corrected to show that the
Fitness Assessment, dated 13 Mar 12, be removed from the Air
Force Fitness Management System.
