RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-01675 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NO _________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: His Fitness Assessment (FA) test score dated for 14 Mar 12, be declared void and removed from his record. _________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: On 14 Mar 12, he was scheduled to take his FA test. His provider neglected to sign his updated profile; therefore, the profile was never entered into his records. He was required to perform all components of the FA and was injured during the sit-up component of the test. He was on a profile at the time and should not have tested in certain components. He has since passed his FA with a score of 94. In support of his request, the applicant submits copies of his AF Form 469, Duty Limiting Condition (DCL) Report; AF Form 422, Notification of Air Force Member’s Qualification Status; FA score sheets and a letter with a medical profile from his physician. The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A. _________________________________________________________________ STATEMENT OF FACTS: Information extracted from the Military Personnel Data System (MilPDS) indicates the applicant is currently serving in the grade of senior airman, having assumed that grade effective and with a date of rank of 12 Apr 12. The DLC report dated 19 Mar 12 (submitted by the applicant) indicates he was undergoing a Medical Evaluation Board (MEB) to determine medical fitness for continued worldwide duty and retention. His AF Form 422, dated 22 Mar 12, indicate a restriction of “Push-ups and sit-ups at own pace as tolerated; run at own pace and distance as tolerated. …cleared to test on the waist measurement and the 1 mile walk.” _________________________________________________________________ AIR FORCE EVALUATION: AFPC/DPSIM recommends disapproval of the applicant’s request to void the FA score; however, they recommend the cardio, push-up and sit-up components of the FA dated 14 Mar 12 be updated to reflect “exempt” in the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS). DPSIM also recommends the applicant’s abdominal circumference remain in the AFFMS. His overall composite score will reflect 67.50 (unsatisfactory). The complete DPSIM evaluation, with attachment, is at Exhibit B. _________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 18 May 12, for review and comment within 30 days. As of this date, this office has received no response (Exhibit C). _________________________________________________________________ THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT: 1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing law or regulations. 2. The application was not timely filed; however it is in the interest of justice to excuse the failure to timely file. 3. Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the existence of error and injustice to warrant a measure of relief. While we note the applicant requests his Fitness Assessment dated 14 Mar 12 be removed in its entirety from his records, we find the evidence provided is insufficient to recommend granting his request as stated. However, we are in agreement with the recommendation of the Air Force office of primary responsibility to exempt the cardio, push-up and sit-up portions of his FA. We note the recommended relief will not result in a satisfactory FA score since the applicant’s abdominal circumference will remain in AAFMS. Nevertheless, based on the evidence provided, we believe this constitutes the most appropriate form of relief. Therefore, in view of the above, we recommend the applicant’s records be corrected only to the extent indicated below. _________________________________________________________________ THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT: The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force relating to the APPLICANT, be corrected to show that the cardio, push-up and sit-up components of his Fitness Assessment, dated 14 Mar 12, be updated to reflect “exempt” in the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS). _________________________________________________________________ The following members of the Board considered this application in Executive Session on 15 Jan 13, under the provisions of AFI 36- 2603: , Panel Chair , Member , Member All members voted to correct the record as indicated.
