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 applicants 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.
