			HEARING DESIRED:  NO

________________________________________________________________
_

Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS).

________________________________________________________________
_

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He was treated for strep throat a week prior to the FA and was 
physically limited.  He became sick and vomited during the 
cardio portion of his test.  He also failed to notify the test 
administrator that he was going to the clinic and his score was 
input.

In support of his request, the applicant provides a memorandum 
from his first sergeant and a VA Form 10-5345, Request for and 
Authorization to Release Medical Records or Health Information.

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 staff sergeant.  

The applicant’s last seven FA scores are as follows:

	DATE	SCORE

	10 Sep 13	SATISFACTORY
	 1 Mar 13	SATISFACTORY
*	13 Dec 12	UNSATISFACTORY
	 4 Jun 12	SATISFACTORY
	15 Dec 11	SATISFACTORY
	 8 Dec 10	EXCELLENT
	 8 Jul 10	GOOD

*Contested FA score.

On 15 Nov 13, the Fitness Assessment Appeals Board (FAAB) 
disapproved the applicant’s request to remove his FA dated 13 
Dec 12.  The specific reason for denial was there was 
insufficient evidence to support the claim (Exhibit C). 

________________________________________________________________
_

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial.  DPSIM states that the evidence 
provided is insufficient to support the applicant’s claim.  The 
applicant did not provide documentation from his medical 
provider stating his illness/injury during the FA; nor 
documentation from the Unit Commander indicating his/her 
decision to invalidate the FA in question.  

AFI 36-2905, Fitness Program, Air Force Guidance Memorandum 
(AFGM) 4, paragraph 10a, states that “If the medical evaluation 
validates the illness/injury, the Unit Commander may invalidate 
the test results.”

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.

________________________________________________________________

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.
