 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

His fitness assessment (FA) dated 27 Feb 12, be invalidated and 
removed from the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS). 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

His physical training (PT) test was scored incorrectly. 

 

He had a back injury and was unable to finish the run portion of 
the test. 

 

In support of his request, the applicant provides a copy of his 
AF Form 469, Duty Limiting Condition Report. 

 

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

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

The applicant is currently serving in the Air Force in the grade 
of master sergeant. The applicant failed his 27 Feb 12 FA with a 
score of 21.90. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFPC/DPSIM recommends partial approval by updating the cardio and 
sit-up components of the FA dated 27 Feb 12 to reflect “exempt” 
in the AFFMS. DPSIM states the applicant provided an AF Form 
469, dated 28 Feb 12, stating “no running greater than 1/4 mile 
and no repetitive bending at the waist.” 

 

In accordance with AFI 36-2905, Fitness Program, paragraph 
4.3.2., “Component Exemption: Member is exempt from one or more 
components of the FA, but will be assessed on remaining 
components.” The applicant’s overall composite score will now 
reflect 51.00 (Unsatisfactory). 

 

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

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

On 9 Nov 12, 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 an error or injustice. After 
carefully reviewing this application and the evidence provided in 
support of the appeal, we are not persuaded that the applicant’s 
Fitness Assessment (FA) dated 26 Feb 12 should be removed from 
his records. While the applicant requests that his entire FA 
dated 27 Feb 12, be removed from his records, we note the AF Form 
469 does not exempt him from the abdominal circumference and 
push-up components of his FA, therefore, these scores should 
remain as recorded. 

 

4. Notwithstanding the above, sufficient relevant evidence has 
been presented to warrant partial relief. After carefully 
considering the evidence of record, we agree with the 
recommendation made by DPSIM to update the applicant’s 27 Feb 
12 FA to reflect exempt in the cardio and sit-up components, 
which will still reflect an “Unsatisfactory” rating. 
Accordingly, we recommend 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 cardio and 
sit-up components of his Fitness Assessment (FA) dated 27 Feb 
12 reflect “exempt” in the Air Force Fitness Management System 
(AFFMS).
