 RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2013-01212
		COUNSEL:  NONE
	XXXXXXX	HEARING DESIRED:  NO

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His Fitness Assessment (FA), dated 21 Dec 2012, be removed from 
the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS).

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He had on-going, documented breathing and congestion problems 
that prevented him from completing the sit-up component of the 
FA in question.  He attempted to get a waiver from the sit-up 
component; however, his Primary Care Manager denied the request.

In support of his request, the applicant provides copies of his 
Standard Forms 600, Chronological Record of Medical Care. 

His complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.

________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

On 15 Nov 2013, the Fitness Assessment Appeals Board (FAAB) 
disapproved the applicant’s request to remove his FA, dated 
21 Dec 2012, from the AFFMS.

The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are 
contained in the letter prepared by the appropriate office of 
the Air Force.  Accordingly, there is no need to recite these 
facts in this Record of Proceedings.

________________________________________________________________

THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial.  In accordance with AFI 36-2905, 
Air Force Fitness Program, "If an Airman becomes injured or ill 
during the FA and is unable to complete all required components, 
he/she will have the option of being evaluated at the Medical 
Treatment Facility but his/her test will still count unless 
rendered invalid by the Unit Commander."  The applicant provided 
documentation for three different types of appointments that he 
made for the same condition.  However, there is no documentation 
from his provider that stated he is precluded from the sit-up 
component.  Furthermore, there is no documentation from his 
commander invalidating the FA.

The complete DPSIM evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit 
B.

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

On 13 Dec 2013, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded 
to the applicant for review and comment within 30 days.  As of 
this date, no response has been received by this office (Exhibit 
C).

________________________________________________________________

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 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.
