the period 2 Sep 12 through 1 Sep 13 be removed from her

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
She received an unsatisfactory FA and referral EPR as a result
of her medical condition which interfered with her ability to
control her weight.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 16 Feb 10, the applicant commenced her enlistment in the
Regular Air Force.
On 2 Jan 13, the applicant participated in a FA, attaining an
overall composite score of 58.90, which constituted an
unsatisfactory assessment. She was credited with the
following composite scores: Cardio - 15:52/44.10 points,
Abdominal Circumference 37.00/0.00 points, Push-ups 31/8.30
points, Sit-ups 39/6.50 points.
The contested EPR was referred to the applicant for a Does Not
Meet standards rating in Section 3, Fitness, and the comment
Failed Fitness Assessment with a 58.90.

On 29 Sep 14, the applicant was furnished an honorable
discharge, and was credited with 4 years, 7 months and 14 days
of active service.
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSID recommends denial of the applicants request to void
the contested EPR indicating there is no evidence of an error or
an injustice. The applicant did not file an appeal through the
Evaluation Report Appeals Board (ERAB). According to AFI 36-
2905, Fitness Program, dated 3 Jan 13, service members are to
remain current as defined in the previous AFI dated 1 Jul 10.
Failure to remain current as well as failing to pass the FA
before the end of the reporting period will result in a Does
Not Meet on the performance report for the rating period.
Since the applicant failed her last assessment and was in a non-
current status her rating chain had no choice but to refer the
EPR in question.
While the applicant believes the contested report was unfair and
unjust, she has not provided any evidence to substantiate the
contested report was rendered unfairly or unjustly. Air Force
policy is than an evaluation is accurate as written when it
becomes a matter of record; and the report is considered to
represent the rating chains best judgment at the time it is
rendered. Furthermore, once a report is accepted for file, only
strong evidence to the contrary warrants correction or removal
from an individuals record. The burden of proof is on the
applicant and she has not provided any evidence to show the
contested report was unjust or inaccurate.
A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSID evaluation is at Exhibit C.
AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial of the applicants request to
remove the contested FA noting there is no evidence of an error
or an injustice. According to the AFI 36-2905, the medical
providers are required to list the physical limitations that
render a service member from participating or accomplishing a
FA. The medical provider must indicate the length of time
required for the restrictions due to the physical limitations
for the FA. While the applicant provided documentation from her
medical provider stating she had a medical condition, he did not
provide what the specific limitations were for the FA.
A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSIM evaluation is at Exhibit D.
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the
applicant on 11 Fe 15 for review and comment within 30 days
(Exhibit D). As of this date, no response has been received by
this office.
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 applicants complete submission in judging the
merits of the case; however, we agree with the opinion and
recommendation of the Air Force offices of primary
responsibility (OPR) and adopt their 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 requested
relief.
4. The applicants case is adequately documented and it has not
been shown that a personal appearance with or without counsel
will materially add to our understanding of the issues involved.
Therefore, the request for a hearing is not favorably
considered.
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.
