         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2013-00377

		COUNSEL:  NONE

		HEARING DESIRED: NO

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Her fitness assessment (FA) score recorded on 15 November 2012, 
be removed from the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS).  

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

She did not know she could stop the fitness assessment due to 
physical problems so she continued because she did not want an 
incomplete score.  

The applicant did not provide any evidence in support of her 
request.  

The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.  

________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant is currently serving in the Regular Air Force in 
the grade of Senior Airman (SrA), E-4.  

A resume of the applicant's FA results is as follows:

Date 	Composite Score	Rating

13 Aug 13	94.00 			Excellent
27 Feb 13	91.33			Excellent
*15 Nov 12	74.10			Unsatisfactory
17 May 12	88.33			Satisfactory
30 Dec 11 	Exempt			Exempt
10 Jun 11	83.90			Unsatisfactory

* Contested FA

________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial.  DPSIM states in accordance with 
AFI 36-2905, Fitness Assessment,  Air Force Guidance Memorandum 
(AFGM) 4, paragraph 10, “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.”  There is no 
evidence the applicant requested to discontinue her FA to seek 
medical attention.  

The complete AFPC/DPSIM evaluation is at Exhibit C.

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the 
applicant on 31 October 2013 for review and comment within 30 
days (Exhibit D).  To date, a response has not been received.  

________________________________________________________________

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.  After a 
thorough review of the evidence of record and the applicant's 
submission, we see no evidence of error or impropriety in the 
physical fitness assessment (FA) and subsequent FA score. We 
note the Air Force office of primary responsibility recommends 
denial because there was no evidence provided that indicates the 
applicant requested to discontinue her FA and seek medical 
attention when she encountered physical problems during the FA.  
In view of this, we agree with the opinion and recommendation of 
the Air Force office of primary responsibility and adopt its 
rationale as the basis for our decision that the applicant has 
failed to sustain her burden of having suffered either 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.

The following members of the Board considered this application
