 RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2012-05896
		COUNSEL:  NONE
	XXXXXXX	HEARING DESIRED:  NO

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Her Fitness Assessment (FA), dated 28 Sep 2012, be removed from 
the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS).

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

Her FA failure was caused by a valid medical condition that 
existed prior to the 28 Sep 2012 FA.  However, her Primary Care 
Manager (PCM) did not feel that she had the medical condition 
and did not put her on a profile prior to the test.  After she 
failed the sit-up component of the FA in question, she 
immediately saw her PCM who informed her she should have been 
placed on a medical profile restricting her from all components 
of the FA.

In support of her request, the applicant provides copies of her 
Individual Sick Slip, AF Form 422, Notification of Air Force 
Member’s Qualification Status and AF Form 469, Duty Limiting 
Condition Report.

Her complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.

________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The relevant facts pertaining to this application are contained 
in the letter prepared by the appropriate office of the Air 
Force.  Accordingly, there is no need to recite these facts in 
this Record of Proceedings.

________________________________________________________________

THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial.  DPSIM states that the evidence 
provided by the applicant substantiates a medical condition 
existed that restricted her from performing all components of 
the FA except the abdominal circumference.  However, these 
documents reflect effective dates of Nov 2012 and do not show 
that her FA on 28 Sep 2012 was affected by the medical 
condition.

The complete DPSIM evaluation, with attachment, is at Exhibit B.

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

On 19 Sep 2013, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded 
to the applicant 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.  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.

    This logic also concludes a medical condition causing weight gain would cause an increase in AC. She should have never taken the walk test while her dosage was still being adjusted and the FA should be invalidated based on the solid medical evidence presented. While we note the applicant requests the entire FA dated 25 Apr 2012, be removed, the AF Form 422 reflected that she was cleared to test using AC and she has not provided substantial evidence to persuade us otherwise.
