RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-01782
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: YES
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His Fitness Assessment (FA) dated 27 Dec 12, be removed from the
Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS).
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was deployed on Contingency Exercise Deployment (CED) orders
from 23 May 12 through 16 Nov 12.
According to AFI 36-2905, Fitness Program, Paragraph 21, all
personnel who are deployed/on Temporary Duty (TDY) for greater
than 30 consecutive days will be given a 42-day acclimatization
period starting the date they arrive back at home station prior
to taking their FA.
He tested on the 41st day at the request of his supervisor to
avoid the New Years Holiday weekend. He was not aware early
testing required the commanders approval. A commanders
approval letter was not requested or granted for him to test
early.
In support of his request, the applicant provides copies of his
deployment orders, travel voucher, and a memorandum of
counseling regarding his referral Enlisted Performance Report
(EPR) and Physical Training (PT) failure.
The applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant is currently serving in the Regular Air Force in
the grade of master sergeant.
The applicants last seven FA scores are as follows:
DATE SCORE
27 Mar 13 EXCELLENT
* 27 Dec 12 UNSATISFACTORY
21 Dec 11 SATISFACTORY
2 Jun 11 SATISFACTORY
31 Jan 11 UNSATISFACTORY
29 Jun 10 GOOD
*Contested FA score.
On 6 Nov 13, the Fitness Assessment Appeals Board (FAAB)
disapproved the applicants request to remove his FA dated 27
Dec 12. The reason for denial was the FAAB did not feel one
additional day would have made a difference on his AC. (Exhibit
C)
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial. DPSIM states that the evidence
provided is insufficient to support the applicants claim. The
AFI does not require the commanders approval for early testing
while on the 42-day acclimatization period from deployment. Nor
has the applicant shown evidence that he was forced to take his
FA on the 42nd (sic) day of the acclimatization period.
AFI 36-2905, Fitness Program, Air Force Guidance Memorandum
(AFGM) 4, paragraph 1.21.8., Ensures prior exempted members
returning from deployment are assessed after a period of
acclimatization (42 days from return to home station for Regular
Air Force members) unless member requests to assess earlier.
On 27 Dec 13, the applicant took his FA and received a score of
70.00 (Unsatisfactory). The applicant failed his FA due to not
meeting the minimum requirement on his abdominal circumference.
The complete DPSIM evaluation, with attachment, is at Exhibit B.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 6 Dec 13, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to
the applicant for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit D).
As of this date, this office has received no response.
________________________________________________________________
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.
4. The applicant's case is adequately documented and it has not
been shown that a personal appearance with or without counsel
will materially add to our understanding of the issue involved.
Therefore, the request for a hearing is not favorably
considered.
________________________________________________________________
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.
