AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-03257 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

Her Fitness Assessment (FA) dated 28 Jun 2012 be removed from 
the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS). 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

She was placed on a medical profile prior to the contested FA 
which exempted her from the cardio component. She was unable to 
see the doctor prior to the FA to discuss worsening symptoms. 
However, the doctor concluded she should not have been tested on 
the sit-up component of the FA. 

 

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

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

The applicant is currently serving in the Regular Air Force in 
the grade of senior airman (E-4).

THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFPC/DPSIM recommends the sit-up component of the contested FA 
reflect "exempt" in the AFFMS. DPSIM states the applicant 
provided an AF Form 108, Physical Fitness Education and 
Intervention Processing, indicating she had been evaluated and 
had a medical condition precluding the achievement of a passing 
fitness score. She also provided AF Forms 422, Notification of 
Air Force Member's Qualification Status, which exempted her from 
the sit-up component of the FA. Her overall FA composite score 
will change to reflect 93 (Excellent). 

 

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

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

On 29 Aug 2012, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded 
to the applicant for review and comment within 30 days. To 
date, a response has not been received (Exhibit C). 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

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 probable error or injustice to 
warrant removal of the contested FA in its entirely. After 
thoroughly reviewing the evidence of record and noting the 
applicant’s contention, we are not persuaded the entire FA is in 
error or unjust. Although the evidence before us indicates the 
applicant should have been exempted from the sit-up component it 
does not invalidate the remaining components of the FA. 
Therefore, in the absence of substantial evidence to the 
contrary, we find no basis upon which to recommend favorable 
consideration of her request to remove the contested FA from the 
AFFMS. 

 

4. Notwithstanding the above, sufficient relevant evidence has 
been presented to demonstrate the existence of error or 
injustice to warrant partial relief. In this respect, we note 
that while the applicant requests the entire FA be removed, the 
Air Force office of primary responsibility only recommends the 
sit-up component reflect “exempt” in the AFFMS, and we agree 
with their recommendation. As a result of the proposed 
correction, her overall FA composite score will change to 
reflect 93 (Excellent). Accordingly, we recommend the 
applicant’s records be corrected to the extent set forth 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 sit-up 
component of the Fitness Assessment, dated 28 Jun 2012, reflect 
"exempt" in the AFFMS.
