RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-04354
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His Fitness Assessment (FA), dated 2 April 2012, be removed from
the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS).
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
Prior to taking the FA in question, he had been experiencing
knee pain. He previously experienced this pain and was able to
reduce it with a cold compress, medication, or ointment.
However, during the aforementioned FA, his left knee became
inflamed which caused a failed running score. Upon review of
his medical records, his Primary Care Manager (PCM) confirmed an
underlying medical condition that should have exempted him from
the cardio component.
In support of his request, the applicant provides copies of a
Medical Condition Determination for FA Test Failures memorandum
with response and VA Form 10-5345, Request for and Authorization
to Release Medical Records or Health Information.
His complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The relevant facts pertaining to this application are contained
in the letter prepared by the appropriate office of the Air
Force. Accordingly, there is no need to recite these facts in
this Record of Proceedings.
________________________________________________________________
THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial. DPSIM states that on 29 June
2012, the applicant's commander requested a Medical Condition
Determination for FA Test Failures. In response, the
applicants PCM indicated he had a documented medical condition
that precluded him from achieving a passing score in a non-
exempt portion of the FA test. A review of the applicant's
request indicates that he experienced knee pain prior to the FA
in question; therefore, he should not have attempted the FA. In
accordance with AFI 36-2905 Air Force Fitness Program, if an
airman becomes injured or ill during the FA and is unable to
complete all required components, he will have the option of
being evaluated at the Medical Treatment Facility but his test
will still count unless rendered invalid by the unit commander.
If the medical condition limited his ability to complete the
cardio portion of the FA, the correct action was to terminate it
and seek medical attention. If the injury was validated by a
medical provider, the commander was authorized to invalidate the
FA.
The complete DPSIM evaluation, with attachment, is at Exhibit B.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 25 April 2013, a copy of the Air Force evaluation, with
attachment, was forwarded to the applicant for review and
comment within 30 days. As of this date, no response has been
received by this office (Exhibit C).
________________________________________________________________
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 error or injustice to warrant
partial relief. Although DPSIM recommends his request be
denied, we disagree. In this respect, we note the applicant has
provided a letter from his PCM stating that he had a documented
medical condition that precluded him from achieving a passing
score in a non-exempt portion of his FA Test. While the
applicant requests the entire FA be removed, in the absence of
evidence that he should have been exempt from either the entire
FA or other components and noting that his overall composite
score will increase to 88.50 percent (Satisfactory), we believe
our recommended corrective action will provide him full and
fitting relief. Accordingly, we recommend her records be
corrected to the extent indicated below.
________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:
The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air
Force relating to APPLICANT be corrected to show that the cardio
component of his FA dated 2 April 2012, be amended to reflect
"exempt" in the Air Force Fitness Management System.

The failed FA is an injustice as she is currently pending medical care for a chronic hip condition. ________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: The applicant responded stating that she has a chronic health condition that affected her ability to pass the FA. Her squadron commander issued her a Letter of Counseling (LOC) but then dropped it as a result of her medical condition.

This logic also concludes a medical condition causing weight gain would cause an increase in AC. She should have never taken the walk test while her dosage was still being adjusted and the FA should be invalidated based on the solid medical evidence presented. While we note the applicant requests the entire FA dated 25 Apr 2012, be removed, the AF Form 422 reflected that she was cleared to test using AC and she has not provided substantial evidence to persuade us otherwise.

During a medical appointment on 1 April 2011, his PCM referred him to physical therapy for his knee, again; he was not issued a profile for running. The new PCM stated that he should not have been running or testing if he had gout in his foot. He had not requested the removal of the January 2011 FA due to lack of medical documentation.
