 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

His Fitness Assessment (FA) dated 12 March 2012 be removed from 
her records. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

He was seen in flight medicine by the independent duty medical 
technical and not a doctor for back issues and was put on a duty 
limiting waiver. He then took his FA and was unable to complete 
the push-up portion of the test because his back gave out 
resulting in a failure. The next day he went to the doctor and 
received a new duty limiting waiver. 

 

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

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFPC/DPSIM recommends approval. DPSIM recommends the push-up 
component of the FA dated 12 March 2012 be updated to reflect 
“exempt” in the AFFMS. The applicant provided an AF Form 469, Duty Limiting Condition Report, dated 13 March 2012, stating no 
push-ups. The overall composite score will change to reflect 
85.25 (Satisfactory). 

 

The complete DPSIM evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit B.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

The applicant provided additional documentation in support of his 
appeal. 

 

The applicant’s response, with attachments, is at 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 to warrant 
removing the contested FA from the applicant’s records. While 
the applicant requests the entire FA be removed, the AF Form 469 
only exempted him from the push-up portion of the FA and not the 
other components. As such, we find the abdominal circumference, 
cardio, and sit-up components of the FA should remain 
undisturbed. 

 

4. Notwithstanding the above, sufficient relevant evidence has 
been presented to warrant correcting the applicant’s records to 
show that he was exempt from participating in the push-up 
component of the contested FA, which will change his overall 
composite score to reflect 85.25, a “Satisfactory” rating. In 
view of the fact the applicant had a duty limiting condition that 
exempted him from the push-up component of the contested FA, we 
agree with the opinion and recommendation of DPSIM and accept its 
rationale as the basis for our recommendation that his records be 
corrected to the extent indicated below. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

 

 


THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT: 

 

The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force 
relating to APPLICANT be corrected to show that the push-up 
component of the Fitness Assessment dated 12 March 2012 be 
amended to reflect “exempt” in the Air Force Fitness Management 
System.
