RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-01286
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
The Cardio Results of his 30 Sep 10 Fitness Assessment (FA)
be changed to reflect he was Exempt, rather than
Incomplete.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was injured during the aerobic portion of the contested
FA. He was told to immediately report to the hospital and
procure a medical profile that would exempt him from the run.
He was told he would have to provide the profile paperwork
within five days of the test.
He was finally seen by the podiatrist on 4 Oct 10. He was
issued an AF Form 469, Duty Limiting Condition Report,
stating he was not to run between the dates of 30 Sep 10
through 4 Apr 11.
Though he stayed in constant contact with the medical
personnel accomplishing his paperwork, it still took an
inordinate amount of time to be approved and was not
submitted in time to remove the Incomplete from his Cardio
Results score.
In support of his appeal, the applicant provides a personal
statement and copies of his AF Form 469, AF Form 422, Notification of Air Force Members Qualification Status.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The relevant facts pertaining to this application, extracted
from the applicants military records, are contained in the
letter prepared by the appropriate office of the Air Force.
Therefore, there is no need to recite these facts in this
record of proceedings.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
USAF/A1PP recommends denial, indicating there is no evidence
of an error or injustice. The applicant injured his foot
during the 1.5 mile run portion of his FA. He immediately
reported to the medical treatment facility for evaluation.
His health care provider issued him an AF Form 469 on
4 Oct 10, indicting he was restricted from running during the
period 30 Sep 10 through 4 Apr 11. At the time of his FA
failure, AFI 36-2905, Fitness Program, paragraph 2.4, states
that all components of an FA must be rescheduled at the
earliest opportunity if extenuating circumstances exist that
prevent completion of the test. In short, there is no
provision to grant his single component recalculation
request. This request was reviewed by the medical subject
matter expert at the Air Force Medical Support Agency who
concurs with this recommendation.
A complete copy of the AF/A1PP evaluation is at Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to applicant on
23 Sep 11 for review and comment within 30 days. As of this
date, no response has been received by this office (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 an error or injustice. After
careful consideration of applicant's request and the available
evidence of record, we find insufficient evidence of error or
injustice to warrant corrective action. The facts and opinions
stated in the advisory opinion appear to be based on the
evidence of record and have not been adequately rebutted by the
applicant. Absent persuasive evidence the applicant was denied
rights to which he was entitled, appropriate regulations were
not followed, or appropriate standards were not applied, we find
no basis to disturb the existing record.
________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; the
application was denied without a personal appearance; and the
application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of
newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this
application.

In this case, after the applicant sustained his injury, there is no indication a medical provider exempted him from any components of the FA or that his commander invalidated the test. A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSIM evaluation is at Exhibit...
