		COUNSEL:  NONE

			HEARING DESIRED:  NO 


________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His 27 Feb 12 Fitness Assessment (FA) be declared void and removed from the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS).

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He failed his FA on 27 Feb 12 due to a previously undiagnosed medical condition. 

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

________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant served in the Regular Air Force in the grade of   staff sergeant (E-5) on the date of the FA in question.

On 26 May 11 and 27 Feb 12, the applicant failed FAs.  

On 4 Jun 12, the applicant was issued an AF Form 422, Notification of Air Force Member’s Qualification Status, exempting him from the aerobic portion of the FA during the period 10 May 12 through 1 Jul 12.

On 6 Nov 13, the Fitness Assessment Appeals Board (FAAB) reviewed the applicant’s request to void and remove his 27 Feb 12 FA from the AFFMS and denied his request based upon too much time having passed between the FA and the medical evaluation.

The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are described in the letter prepared by the Air Force office of primary responsibility, which is included at Exhibit C.  

________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial, indicating there is no evidence of an error or injustice.  The applicant took the FA in question on 27 Feb 12, failing to meet the minimum requirements for the cardio component.  AFI 36-2905, Fitness Program, states “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 (MTF)… the original FA will count unless rendered invalid by the Commander.”  The applicant submitted insufficient documentation to support his contention.  He provided a signed memorandum for the record from his primary care manager stating he had a condition that may have contributed to this failure.  However, he did not provide documentation from his unit commander indicating the commander’s decision to invalidate the FA.  

A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSIM evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit C.

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 6 Dec 13 for review and comment within 30 days.  As of this date, no response has been received by this office (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.  Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the existence of an 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 (OPR) and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion the applicant has not been the victim of an error of injustice.  Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no basis to recommend granting the relief.

________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:

The applicant be notified the evidence presented did not demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; the application was denied without a personal appearance; and the application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this application.
