RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-04793
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His 29 Nov 11 Fitness Assessment (FA) be declared void and
removed from the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS).
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
During his annual FA, he experienced a pain in his side and
almost blacked out. He finished the run but failed the FA, and
signed the assessment score card not realizing that a medical
condition would not invalidate the assessment results. He
immediately had someone take him to the base clinic, where he
was diagnosed with a kidney stone.
In support of his appeal, the applicant provides copies of an
AF Form 108, Physical Fitness Education and Intervention
Processing; AF Form 469, Duty Limiting Condition Report; AF Form
422, Notification of Air Force Members Qualification Status;
and his Fitness Assessment Scorecard.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The relevant facts pertaining to this application are described
in the letter prepared by the Air Force office of primary
responsibility, which is included at Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial, indicating there is no evidence of
an error or injustice. AFI 36-2905, FITNESS PROGRAM, paragraph
2.3.2., states that all members must complete the Fitness
Screening Questionnaire (FSQ) prior to the FA. The FSQ should
be completed no earlier than 30 calendar days, but NLT 7 days
prior to the FA to provide time for medical evaluation, when
indicated. The member completed the FSQ prior to the FA, and
did not identify his medical conditions on the FSQ. The member
tested on all four components. He passed three components, but
did not meet the minimum requirements for the cardio component
of the FA.
A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSIM evaluation, with attachment,
is at Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant on 29 Dec 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. Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to
demonstrate the existence of an injustice. The applicant
contends that his medical condition precluded him from passing
the contested Fitness Assessment (FA). After a thorough review
of the evidence of record and the applicants complete
submission, we believe a preponderance of the evidence supports
corrective action. While we note the comments from AFPC/DPSIM
indicating the member did not correctly identify his medical
conditions prior to the FA, we believe the documentation
submitted by the applicant, specifically, the documentation
signed by his physician indicating his medical condition
precluded him from achieving a passing fitness score, as well as
the subsequent duty restrictions and FA exemptions levied upon
the applicant, collectively establish a reasonable basis to
recommend granting the requested relief. Therefore, we believe
the applicants records should be corrected as indicated below.
________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:
The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air
Force relating to the applicant be corrected to show that his
Fitness Assessment (FA), dated 29 November 2011, be declared
void and removed from the Air Force Fitness Management System
(AFFMS).
