HEARING DESIRED: NO
IN THE MATTER OF:
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His Fitness Assessment (FA), dated 8 May 2012, be removed from
the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS).
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The day before his FA test (7 May 2012), he was sick from food
poisoning. He woke up on 8 May 2012, feeling better than he had
the day before, but not fully recovered. He signed off on the
fitness questionnaire and stated he did not have any medical
issues that would hinder him from testing. He took the test
because he was already overdue as a result of Temporary Duty
commitments in April, in spite of the fact he was still feeling
ill. He should have rescheduled the test due to nausea and
dehydration. He did not see a doctor until after his test and
was put on quarters for 24 hours to recover/hydrate.
In support of his appeal, the applicant provides copies of his
Quarters Authorization, medical documentation, and his FA.
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 captain (O-3).
The remaining relevant facts, extracted from the applicant’s
military service record, are contained in the evaluation provided
by the Air Force office of primary responsibility at Exhibit C.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial. DPSIM states Air Force Instruction
36-2905, paragraph 2.11, indictaes Regular Air Force, Air Force
Reserve, and Air National Guard (Title 10) members are mandated
to complete an official FA at a minimum of twice yearly. Members
must test by the last day of the month, six calendar months
following the previous passing test. Air National Guard (Title
32) members are mandated to complete an official FA at a minimum
of once yearly. Members must be tested by the last day of the
month, 12 calendar months following the previous test. In
accordance with paragraph 2.11.1, frequency of the FA should be
based on the previous fitness score unless earlier assessment is
necessary to accommodate deployment. The applicant should have
reported to the clinic instead of taking his FA due to illness.
The complete DPSIM evaluation, with attachment, is at Exhibit B.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant
on 28 August 2012, for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit
C). As of this date, this office has received no response.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS 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
