RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBERS: BC-2012-02986 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NO _________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: His Fitness Assessment (FA), dated 17 August 2010, be removed from the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS). _________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: His second FA occurred during a deployment to Kadena Air Base, Japan, in August of 2010. During this time, he injured his back the month prior and did not receive a profile until after he tested due to unforeseen administrative hold-ups. He did not opt out of the test because he was told that unless he was sick or had a profile, he had to test on all components. 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 technical sergeant (E-6). The remaining relevant facts, extracted from the applicant’s military service record, are contained in the evaluation provided by the Air Force office of primary responsibility at Exhibit D. _________________________________________________________________ AIR FORCE EVALUATION: AFPC/DPSIM recommends partial approval. DPSIM states that as a result of their request, the applicant provided an Air Force Form 469, Duty Limiting Condition Report, dated 6 August 2010 with an expiration date of 5 September 2010, stating no lifting of greater than 50 pounds, no repetitive motion using back and no weight bearing on back. Therefore, they recommend the cardio and sit-up components of his FA, dated 17 August 2010, be updated to reflect “exempt” in AFFMS. As a result, his overall FA score will change to reflect a satisfactory score of 75.33. The complete DPSIM evaluation is at Exhibit D. _________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 30 October 2012, for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit E). As of this date, this office has received no response. _________________________________________________________________ THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT: 1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing law or regulations. 2. The application was timely filed. 3. Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the existence of error or injustice requiring partial relief. We note that AFPC/DPSIM recommends the cardio and sit-up components of the applicant’s FA, dated 17 August 2010, be corrected to reflect “exempt” in the AFFMS based on his Duty Limiting Condition Report, dated 6 August 2010. We agree with their recommendation. We took notice of the applicant’s request to have the entire FA removed; however, he was cleared for all other components of the FA; therefore, we do not find any evidence to support removing the entire test. Accordingly, we recommend the applicant’s record be corrected as indicated below. _________________________________________________________________ THE BOARD DETERMINES 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, dated 17 August 2010, be amended to reflect “exempt” in the Air Force Fitness Management System. _________________________________________________________________ The following members of the Board considered this application in Executive Session on 16 April 2013, under the provisions of AFI 36-2603: Panel Chair Member Member All members voted to correct the records, as recommended.
