                       RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2012-05655

			COUNSEL:  NONE

			HEARING DESIRED: NO

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His fitness assessment (FA) recorded on 19 November 2012 be 
removed from the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS). 

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He has a documented medical condition which precluded him from 
achieving a passing score in a non-exempt portion of the fitness 
assessment.  

In support of his request, the applicant provides a copy of a 
combined letter from his first sergeant and medical provider 
dated 5 December 2012.  

The applicant’s complete submission, with attachment, is at 
Exhibit A.  

________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant is currently serving in the Regular Air Force in 
the grade of Technical Sergeant (TSgt), E-6.  

A resume of the applicant's FA results are as follows:

Date 	Composite Score	Rating

*19 Nov 12	22.40			Unsatisfactory 
4 Apr 12	75.10			Satisfactory 
1 Feb 12	74.80			Unsatisfactory 
3 Nov 11	78.00			Unsatisfactory 
20 Apr 11	78.80			Satisfactory 
28 Oct 10	79.30			Satisfactory 

* Contested FA

The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are 
contained in the letter prepared by the appropriate office of 
the Air Force at Exhibit C.  

________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

1.  AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial.  DPSIM states the evidence 
provided by the applicant was incomplete and not sufficient to 
support his claim.  The applicant was unable to meet the minimum 
requirement for the run portion of the FA and achieved a 
composite score of 22.40, an unsatisfactory fitness level.  He 
provided documentation from his First Sergeant requesting a 
determination of his medical condition.  In the Medical 
Condition Determination for FA Test Failures memorandum, the 
health care provider acknowledged the applicant had a medical 
condition that precluded him from passing the FA.  

2.  The memorandum does not allow for clarification on the 
applicant's limitations.  Additionally, the applicant did not 
provide an AF Form  469, Duty Limiting Condition Report, which 
is required to be completed when a medical condition impacts 
fitness activity or when an FA is due in accordance with AFI 36-
2905, Fitness Program, paragraph 1.18.3.  There is no indication 
of what extent the medical condition affected the FA.  It is 
unclear if the applicant should be exempted from one or more 
components, or the entire FA.  The applicant provided no 
additional documentation to support his request.  

The complete AFPC/DPSIM evaluation, with attachment, is at 
Exhibit C.

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the 
applicant on 17 February 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 
thoroughly reviewing the evidence of record and noting the 
applicant's contentions, we are not persuaded the contested FA 
is in error or unjust.  The Medical Condition Determination 
memorandum from the medical provider is noted; however, in the 
absence of an AF Form 469, Duty Limiting Condition Report, it is 
unclear to what extent the medical condition affected his 
19 November 2012 FA, therefore, we find insufficient evidence to 
warrant disturbing the record.  However, should the applicant 
provide such evidence, we would be willing to reconsider his 
request.  In view of the above and 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.
