RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-01286 

 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

The Cardio Results of his 30 Sep 10 Fitness Assessment (FA) 
be changed to reflect he was “Exempt,” rather than 
“Incomplete.” 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

He was injured during the aerobic portion of the contested 
FA. He was told to immediately report to the hospital and 
procure a medical profile that would exempt him from the run. 
He was told he would have to provide the profile paperwork 
within five days of the test. 

 

He was finally seen by the podiatrist on 4 Oct 10. He was 
issued an AF Form 469, Duty Limiting Condition Report, 
stating he was not to run between the dates of 30 Sep 10 
through 4 Apr 11. 

 

Though he stayed in constant contact with the medical 
personnel accomplishing his paperwork, it still took an 
inordinate amount of time to be approved and was not 
submitted in time to remove the Incomplete from his Cardio 
Results score. 

 

In support of his appeal, the applicant provides a personal 
statement and copies of his AF Form 469, AF Form 422, Notification of Air Force Member’s Qualification Status. 

 

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

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

The relevant facts pertaining to this application, extracted 
from the applicant’s military records, are contained in the 
letter prepared by the appropriate office of the Air Force. 


Therefore, there is no need to recite these facts in this 
record of proceedings.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

USAF/A1PP recommends denial, indicating there is no evidence 
of an error or injustice. The applicant injured his foot 
during the 1.5 mile run portion of his FA. He immediately 
reported to the medical treatment facility for evaluation. 
His health care provider issued him an AF Form 469 on 
4 Oct 10, indicting he was restricted from running during the 
period 30 Sep 10 through 4 Apr 11. At the time of his FA 
failure, AFI 36-2905, Fitness Program, paragraph 2.4, states 
that all components of an FA must be rescheduled at the 
earliest opportunity if extenuating circumstances exist that 
prevent completion of the test. In short, there is no 
provision to grant his single component recalculation 
request. This request was reviewed by the medical subject 
matter expert at the Air Force Medical Support Agency who 
concurs with this recommendation. 

 

A complete copy of the AF/A1PP evaluation is at Exhibit C.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to applicant on 
23 Sep 11 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. After 
careful consideration of applicant's request and the available 
evidence of record, we find insufficient evidence of error or 
injustice to warrant corrective action. The facts and opinions 
stated in the advisory opinion appear to be based on the 
evidence of record and have not been adequately rebutted by the 
applicant. Absent persuasive evidence the applicant was denied 
rights to which he was entitled, appropriate regulations were 
not followed, or appropriate standards were not applied, we find 
no basis to disturb the existing record. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 


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.
