RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-05108
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: YES
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her official military records be corrected by having her Fitness
Assessments (FAs), dated 25 May 11 and 23 Aug 11, declared void
and removed from the Air Force Fitness Management System
(AFFMS).
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
In Sep 10, she began having constant pain and weight gain. She
had a yet undiagnosed serious medical condition which prevented
her from passing her 25 May 11 FA, and which ultimately required
surgery. After surgery, she should have been put on a medical
profile that exempted her from all components of the FA, but she
was assessed again on 23 Aug 11 and failed. Her physician
confirms both of her contentions and her commander supports her
request.
In support of her request, the applicant provides copies of her
commanders memos, three e-mails/memos from doctors, three AF
Form 422s Notification of Air Force Members Qualification
Status, her AF Form 469, Duty Limiting Condition Report, and
information related to her medical condition.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant currently serves in the Regular Air Force in the
grade of master sergeant (E-7).
In Apr 11, the applicant was diagnosed with a significant
medical problem requiring surgery. Pending surgery, she was
placed on a medical profile limiting her FA to abdominal
circumference and walking.
On 25 May 11, she failed her FA. On 31 May 11, she had surgery,
and was placed on a medical profile that limited her FA to
abdominal circumference only. On 23 Aug 11, she failed her next
FA, which only tested abdominal circumference.
On 27 Oct 11, her Air Force physician e-mailed her commander
concerning her 25 May 11 FA failure, stating I identified a
(medical) issue that would have interfered with her ability to
obtain a passing score in May 11.
On 1 Nov 11, her Air Force surgeon signed a memo addressing her
FA failure on 23 Aug 11, stating she should have been exempt
from all components of the PT test.
On 7 Nov 11, her commander signed a memo asking that both her
25 May 11 and 23 Aug 11 FAs reflect that she was exempt from all
components of the test.
The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are
contained in the letter prepared by the appropriate office of
the Air Force, which is attached at Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ AFPC/DPSIM recommends removal of her 23 Aug 11 FA, however,
recommends denial of her request to void and remove her
25 May 11 FA because the member was tested correctly.
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 24 Jan 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
applicant contends that her medical condition precluded her from
passing her 25 May 11 and 23 Aug 11 Fitness Assessments (FAs),
which should be declared void and removed from the Air Force
Fitness Management System. While AFPC/DPSIM agrees that her 23
Aug 11 FA should be removed, they indicate that her 25 May 11 FA
was properly administered; however, we believe the applicant has
raised sufficient doubt as to whether the remaining contested FA
should have been administered. In this respect, we note she
provided a memo from her physician, stating she had a medical
issue which would have interfered with her ability to obtain a
passing score on that same assessment. Based upon the
physicians input, we believe it is proper and fitting to
recommend that both FAs be invalidated as the applicant has
requested. Therefore, we recommend the applicants records be
corrected as indicated below.
4. The applicants case is adequately documented and it has not
been shown that a personal appearance with or without counsel
will materially add to our understanding of the issues involved.
Therefore, the request for a hearing is not favorably
considered.
________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:
The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air
Force relating to the APPLICANT be corrected to show that her
Fitness Assessments (FAs), dated 25 May 2011 and 23 August 2011,
be declared void and removed from the Air Force Fitness
Management System (AFFMS).
