 AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-03195 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

The Fitness Assessments (FAs) dated 30 Sep 11 and 23 Feb 12 be 
removed from the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS). 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

She failed the FAs dated 30 Sep 11 and 23 Feb 12, due to a 
medical condition that went undiagnosed at the time of her FAs. 
She provided a note from her medical provider indicating that 
because of her medical condition she should not have been 
required to perform her FAs. 

 

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

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

On 30 Jul 12, a memorandum was sent by AFPC/DPSIM to the 
applicant requesting additional documentation. Specifically, 
copies of her signed score sheet, questionnaire for the fitness 
assessments in question, AF Form 108, Physical Fitness and 
Intervention Processing and the AF Form 422, Notification of Air 
Force Member’s Qualification Status.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFPC/DPSIM recommends partial approval, stating, in part, that 
based on the additional documentation provided by the applicant, 
the cardio component of the FA dated 23 Feb 12 should be updated 
to reflect “exempt” in the AFFMS. The applicant's overall 
fitness assessment will change to reflect 78.75 Satisfactory. 

 

They recommend denial of the applicant’s request for removal of 
the 30 Sep 11 FA, as the applicant did not provide any 
additional documentation to support its removal. 

 

The complete DPSIM evaluation is at Exhibit B.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

The applicant notes the letter from her medical provider 
indicates the scores from both the 30 Sep 11 and the 


23 Feb 12 FAs should not be considered because of her 
undiagnosed medical condition, i.e., back injury with nerve 
damage to the right leg and neck. In addition, she notes that 
her provider stated that had her magnetic resonance imaging 
(MRI) been read in a timely fashion and she had a quicker 
referral to his office, she would not have been expected to take 
all four components of both tests. 

 

The applicant’s complete 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 error or injustice in regard to the 
applicant’s 30 Sep 11 FA. After thoroughly reviewing the 
evidence of record and noting the applicant’s contentions, we 
are not persuaded the contested FA is in error or unjust. The 
letter, dated 12 Apr 12, provided by the applicant’s medical 
provider is noted; however, in the absence of a signed score 
sheet, FA questionnaire, AF Form 108, and the AF Form 422, we 
find insufficient evidence to warrant disturbing the record. 
However, should the applicant provide such evidence, we would 
be willing to reconsider her request. 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 portion of the 
application. 

 

4. Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to 
demonstrate the existence of error or injustice warranting 
partial relief in respect to the applicant FA, dated 23 Feb 12. 
We note the applicant has requested her entire FA be removed 
from the AFFMS; however, the AF Form 422 only supports exempting 
the cardio component. As such, we agree with the opinion and 
recommendation of the Air Force office of primary responsibility 
recommendation to only exempt the cardio component, which will 
result in a satisfactory overall fitness assessment. Therefore, 
we recommend the applicant’s record 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 cardio 
component of the fitness assessment, dated 23 Feb 12, reflect 
“exempt” in the Air Force Fitness Management System.
