RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-04966
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His official military records be corrected by having his Fitness
Assessment (FA), dated 30 Aug 11, declared void and removed from
the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS).
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
On the day of his FA he was not feeling well, but since it was
too late to reschedule he took the FA at 0500. During the run
portion of the FA he started vomiting but continued as he was
told. He finished his run 14 seconds over his maximum allowable
run time, and therefore failed the FA. He sought medical
attention that same day, and the Primary Care provider signed a
memo stating he had an acute medical condition that should allow
him to retest on a future date.
In support of his request, the applicant provides copies of the
Physicians Assistant memo and an extract his AFFMS record.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
According to the applicants military personnel records, he
currently serves in the Regular Air Force in the grade of Airman
First Class (E-3).
On 30 Aug 11, the applicant failed the contested FA, earning a
composite score of 76.80, but failing the run portion of the
assessment.
On 1 Dec 11, the applicant retook and passed the FA, earning an
overall score of 88.20.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of
an error or injustice. On 15 Mar 12, they sent the applicant a
memo requesting a copy of AF Form 108, Physical Fitness Education
and Intervention Processing, documenting his illness, but he did
not provide the requested documentation. Therefore, the
applicants request should be denied.
The complete AFPC/DPSIM evaluation is at Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant on 30 May 12 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 error or injustice. The member
contends that his illness precluded him from attaining a passing
score on his 30 Aug 11 FA. After a thorough review of the
evidence of record and the applicants complete submission, we
believe the applicant has raised sufficient doubt as to whether
or not he had a reasonable opportunity to attain a passing score
on his FA. While we note the recommendation from AFPC/DPSIM
that his request be denied, we believe the signed memo from his
attending physician is sufficient to convince us the applicants
acute medical condition precluded him from passing the FA.
Therefore, we believe it appropriate to resolve any doubt in the
applicants favor and recommend the applicants records 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 30 August 2011, be declared void
and removed from the Air Force Fitness Management System
(AFFMS).
