AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-04970 

 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

His 7 Jul 11 Fitness Assessment (FA) be changed to exempt or 
removed from the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS). 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

Due to a preexisting leg injury he was unable to successfully 
complete the FA. 

 

In support of his request, the applicant provides copies of an 
AF Form 108, Physical Fitness Education and Intervention 
Processing, and two AF Forms 422, Notification of Air Force 
Member’s Qualification Status. 

 

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

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

The applicant is currently serving on active duty in the grade of 
staff sergeant (E-5). 

 

On 24 Jan 11, the applicant’s profile was updated to reflect he 
can complete the FA at his own pace without pain. 

 

On 7 Jul 11, the applicant participated in the contested FA and 
received the 27.10 points for cardio, 14.14 for abdominal 
circumference, 8.30 for pushups, and 5.50 for sit ups, with an 
overall score of 55.30. The minimum passing score for an FA is 
75.00. 

 

AF Form 108, dated 20 Sep 11, reflects the applicant had a 
medical condition which precluded him from achieving a passing 
fitness score. 

 

On 28 Sep 11, the applicant’s physical profile serial report was 
updated to reflect he was exempt from the 1.5 mile run portion of 
the FA. 


 

The AFI 36-2905, Fitness Program, Chapter 2, paragraph 2.2.2.2. 
states Alternative Aerobic Test: Members not medically cleared to 
complete the 1.5-mile run will be assessed by the 1.0-mile walk, 
unless otherwise exempted.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

HQ AFPC/DPSIM recommends the cardio component of his 7 Jul 11 FA 
be updated to reflect he was exempt in the AFFMS noting the 
AF Form 108, Physical Fitness Education and Intervention 
Processing, indicates the applicant had a preexisting condition 
which precluded him from achieving a passing fitness score; and 
the AF Form 422, Notification of Air Force Member’s Qualification 
Status, exempted the applicant from participating in the 1.5 mile 
run of the fitness assessment. 

 

The complete 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 Mar 12, 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. The recommendation of the Air Force office 
of primary responsibility (OPR) is duly noted; however, we are 
not persuaded the applicant is the victim of an error or 
injustice. While the applicant contends his leg condition 
precluded him from successfully completing the contested FA, we 
do not find the evidence provided sufficient to conclude that his 
purported injury precluded him from receiving a fair FA. In this 
respect, we note that AFI 36-2905, Fitness Program, indicates 
that a service member who is cleared medically from completing 
the 1.5-mile run can, as an alternative, complete that component 
of the FA with a 1.0 mile walk. In view of this, and noting 
there was no documentation located or provided that indicates the 


applicant was unable to complete 1.0 mile walk as an alternative 
for the 1.5-mile run, we are not convinced the applicant is 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 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.
