RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-03237
XXXXXXX COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
The Fitness Assessment (FA), dated 17 Jun 13 be removed from the
Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS).
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was unjustly denied the 42 day acclimatization period
following a PCS move which precluded him from obtaining a
satisfactory rating.
He in-processed at Seymour Johnson AFB on 3 Jun 13 and was
required to take the FA 14 days later.
In support of his appeal, the applicant provides a memorandum
from his commander requesting the contested FA be invalidated.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
_______________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
At the time of the contested FA the applicant was serving as a
Senior Airman (E-3) in the regular Air Force.
The Military Personnel Data System (MilPDS) reflects the
applicants Date Arrived Station (DAS) to Seymour Jonson AFB as
3 Jun 13.
On 17 Jun 13 the applicant participated in the contested FA and
obtained an overall Unsatisfactory score of 80.50. The
applicant completed 40 of the 42 minimum required Sit-ups for
males under 30.
A similar request was considered and denied by the Fitness
Assessment Appeal Board (FAAB) due to the lack of documents to
support the request.
_______________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial of the applicants request to
remove the FA. Although a member in an inbound status is given
42 days from his/her DAS date to acclimatize before assessment
and MilPDS shows a DAS of 3 Jun 13, the applicant failed to
provide DAS documentation.
A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSIM evaluation, with attachments,
is at Exhibit B.
_______________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation, with attachments, was
forwarded to the applicant on 28 Feb 14 for review and comment
within 30 days (Exhibit C).
On 13 Mar 14 the applicant submitted a copy of the Permanent
Change of Station orders, reflecting a DAS of 3 Jun 13 to
Seymour Jonson AFB (Exhibit D).
________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing
law or regulations.
2. The application was timely filed.
3. Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to
demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice. After
thoroughly reviewing the evidence of record and noting the
applicants contentions, we believe he has met his burden of
establishing the contested FA should be declared void. In this
respect, we note the applicant has provided a memorandum from
his commander, requesting the contested FA be invalidated and a
copy of his PCS orders to Seymour Johnson AFB, reflecting a DAS
of 3 June 13. In view of this, we find the applicant was not
given the allotted 42 days to acclimate to the environment of
his new location prior to administration of the contested FA.
Therefore, we recommend his records be corrected as indicated
below.
________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air
Force relating to the APPLICANT be corrected to show that the
Fitness Assessment, dated 17 Jun 13 be declared void and removed
from the Air Force Fitness Management System.
