RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-02080
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His Fitness Assessment (FA) dated 24 Jan 13, be removed from the
Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS).
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The Fitness Assessment Cell (FAC) member did not understand his
intent to receive medical attention after completing his FA.
The FAC member prematurely entered the score prior to the
required five days to allow for medical treatment and the
commander to invalidate the exam.
In support of his request, the applicant provides copies of a
memorandum for his commander and a memorandum from the clinic.
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 technical sergeant.
The applicants last seven FA scores are as follows:
DATE SCORE
6 Jun 13 SATISFACTORY
* 24 Jan 13 UNSATISFACTORY
5 Apr 12 SATISFACTORY
11 Jan 12 UNSATISFACTORY
30 Aug 11 UNSATISFACTORY
25 Jan 11 UNSATISFACTORY
27 Jan 10 POOR
*Contested FA score.
On 16 Dec 13, the Fitness Assessment Appeals Board (FAAB)
disapproved the applicants request to remove his FA dated 13
Dec 12. The specific reason for denial was there was
insufficient evidence to support the claim; specifically an AF
Form 422, Notification of Air Force Members Qualification
Status and medical documentation (Exhibit C).
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial. DPSIM states that in accordance
with AFI 36-2905, Fitness Program, Paragraph 10, If an airman
becomes injured or ill during the FA, he/she will have the
option of being evaluated at the Medical Treatment Facility
(MTF) whether they complete the FA or not. If the medical
evaluation validates the illness/injury and provides supporting
medical documentation, the Unit Commander may invalidate the FA
results by notifying the FAC in writing. If the FA is
invalidated, the Airman will be required to retest on all non-
exempt FA components within five duty days from the original FA
test date. NOTE: Original FA will count unless rendered
invalid by the Unit Commander. Airmen should notify their
commander within one duty day of the FA regarding the
injury/illness to ensure communication regarding test validity
with the MTF and FAC staff occurs prior to score entry into
AFFMS.
The applicant provided documentation of the unit commander
notification as well as a memorandum from the clinic; however,
he has not provided documentation from the unit commander
indicating his/her decision to invalidate the FA, nor did he
provide documentation of a medical profile (AF Form 422).
The complete DPSIM evaluation, with attachment, is at Exhibit B.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 24 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.
________________________________________________________________
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.
