and retired on 1 April 2015, in the grade of chief master

*Contested FA score.
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial indicating if the applicant would
have provided a medical invalidation memorandum and unit
commander invalidation memorandum their office could have
recommended a FA removal or if he provided the fitness screening
questionnaire that stated he had a medical problem that needed
to be evaluated by a medical provider, it could have warranted a
recommendation for a cardio component exemption.
IAW AFI 36-2905 dated 1 July 2010 (AFGM4, 26 June 2012)
Paragraph 2.3.2.2. A medical provider must evaluate all members
with health issues identified on the FSQ prior to the FA. A
member must notify the UFPM of the assessment/training clearance
status from the provider. While the applicant provided medical
documentation for his spouses medical treatment, the applicant
did not provide any additional evidence from a medical provider
for himself.
Additionally, if a member experiences an illness/injury during a
FA, the applicant should have sought medical attention to be
evaluated and determined if the injury/illness was a valid
reason for not successfully passing the FA and then invalidated
by his unit commander. IAW AFI 36-2905, Paragraph 10a If the
medical evaluation validates the illness/injury, the unit
commander may invalidate the test results. The airman will then
be required to retest within five duty days or when capable
based on the recommendations of the medical provider/Medical
Liaison Officer (MLO) and the Exercise Physiologist (EP). If an
AF Form 422 is required, an additional seven days will be
allowed for the AF Form 422 to be generated and provided.
A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSIM evaluation is at Exhibit C.
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant on 10 October 2014 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 is 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
applicants contentions, we are not persuaded the contested FA
is in error or unjust. In this respect, we note the applicant
did not provide a medical invalidation memorandum and unit
commander invalidation memorandum recommending the assessment be
invalidated. Therefore, 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 failed to sustain his burden of proof of the
existence of an error or injustice. 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 the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of an 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.
