AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-04464 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

His Fitness Assessment (FA), dated 7 Sep 2012, be removed from 
the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS). 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

During the FA in question, he developed diarrhea which prevented 
him from completing the required amount of push-ups to pass the 
test without having an accident. He was too embarrassed to 
interrupt the test. However, after the FA he indirectly spoke 
to the test administrator who ignored what he was telling him. 
He was already on a profile excluding him from the cardio and 
sit-up components for related digestive issues. On 21 Sep 
2012 he took an official practice test and completed 50 push-ups 
(22 more than during his failed FA) and his overall composite 
score was 80.4 (satisfactory). 

 

In support of his request, the applicant provides copies of his 
Individual Fitness Assessment History and Fitness Scorecard. 

 

His complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

On 7 Sep 2012, the applicant failed his FA. He received a 
composite score of 71.67.

THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial. DPSIM states that in accordance 
with AFI 36-2905 Air Force Fitness Program, if an airman becomes 
injured or ill during the FA and is unable to complete all 
required components, he will have the option of being evaluated 
at the Medical Treatment Facility but his test will still count 
unless rendered invalid by the unit commander. The applicant 


elected not to terminate his test and seek medical treatment for 
his illness. 

 

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

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

On 15 Oct 2012, a copy of the Air Force evaluation, with 
attachment, was forwarded to the applicant for review and 
comment within 30 days. As of this date, no response has been 
received by this office (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 
thoroughly reviewing the evidence of record and noting the 
applicant’s contentions, we are not persuaded the contested FA 
is in error or unjust. Therefore in the absence of substantial 
evidence from the Medical Treatment Facility we find 
insufficient evidence to warrant disturbing the record. 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 
application. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT: 

 

The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not 
demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; that 
the application was denied without a personal appearance; and 
that the application will only be reconsidered upon the 
submission of newly discovered relevant evidence not considered 
with this application.
