RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-04970
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His 7 Jul 11 Fitness Assessment (FA) be changed to exempt or
removed from the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS).
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
Due to a preexisting leg injury he was unable to successfully
complete the FA.
In support of his request, the applicant provides copies of an
AF Form 108, Physical Fitness Education and Intervention
Processing, and two AF Forms 422, Notification of Air Force
Members Qualification Status.
The applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant is currently serving on active duty in the grade of
staff sergeant (E-5).
On 24 Jan 11, the applicants profile was updated to reflect he
can complete the FA at his own pace without pain.
On 7 Jul 11, the applicant participated in the contested FA and
received the 27.10 points for cardio, 14.14 for abdominal
circumference, 8.30 for pushups, and 5.50 for sit ups, with an
overall score of 55.30. The minimum passing score for an FA is
75.00.
AF Form 108, dated 20 Sep 11, reflects the applicant had a
medical condition which precluded him from achieving a passing
fitness score.
On 28 Sep 11, the applicants physical profile serial report was
updated to reflect he was exempt from the 1.5 mile run portion of
the FA.
The AFI 36-2905, Fitness Program, Chapter 2, paragraph 2.2.2.2.
states Alternative Aerobic Test: Members not medically cleared to
complete the 1.5-mile run will be assessed by the 1.0-mile walk,
unless otherwise exempted.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ AFPC/DPSIM recommends the cardio component of his 7 Jul 11 FA
be updated to reflect he was exempt in the AFFMS noting the
AF Form 108, Physical Fitness Education and Intervention
Processing, indicates the applicant had a preexisting condition
which precluded him from achieving a passing fitness score; and
the AF Form 422, Notification of Air Force Members Qualification
Status, exempted the applicant from participating in the 1.5 mile
run of the fitness assessment.
The complete AFPC/DPSIM evaluation, with attachments, is at
Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant
on 6 Mar 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. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to
demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice. We took
notice of the applicant's complete submission in judging the
merits of the case. The recommendation of the Air Force office
of primary responsibility (OPR) is duly noted; however, we are
not persuaded the applicant is the victim of an error or
injustice. While the applicant contends his leg condition
precluded him from successfully completing the contested FA, we
do not find the evidence provided sufficient to conclude that his
purported injury precluded him from receiving a fair FA. In this
respect, we note that AFI 36-2905, Fitness Program, indicates
that a service member who is cleared medically from completing
the 1.5-mile run can, as an alternative, complete that component
of the FA with a 1.0 mile walk. In view of this, and noting
there was no documentation located or provided that indicates the
applicant was unable to complete 1.0 mile walk as an alternative
for the 1.5-mile run, we are not convinced the applicant is the
victim of an error or injustice. Therefore, 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 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.
