RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-05648
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His 22 Oct 12 Fitness Assessment (FA) be declared void and
removed from the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS).
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He had a documented medical condition that precluded him from
achieving a passing fitness score.
The applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant is currently serving in the Regular Air Force in
the grade of staff sergeant (E-5).
In accordance with AFI 36-2905, Fitness Program, to determine
overall fitness, the Air Force uses an overall composite fitness
score and minimum scores per three component areas: Aerobic
Fitness (1.5 mile run), Body Composition (abdominal
circumference measurement), and Muscular Fitness (number of
push-ups and sit-ups completed within one minute each).
Military members receive a composite score on a 0 to 100 scale
based on the following maximum component scores: aerobic 60
points, body composition - 20 points, push-ups ten points, and
sit-ups ten points. To determine individual composite fitness
scores the Air Force uses age and gender specific fitness score
charts.
Furthermore, Attachment 2, USAF Fitness Test Scoring, of the AFI
indicates that males under the age of 30 such as the applicant
must meet minimum value in each of the four components, and
achieve a composite point total greater than 75 points. The
passing minimum component for sit-ups for a male under the age
of 30 is 42 repetitions in a minute.
On 22 Oct 12, the applicant participated in the contested FA,
attaining a composite score of 78.40. The applicant did not
meet the minimum component for the sit-ups and therefore
received an unsatisfactory rating for the fitness test. He
performed 23 sit-ups.
On 1 Nov 12, the applicant was provided an AF Form 422,
Notification of Air Force Members Qualification Status,
exempting him from the sit-up component of the FA from 31 Oct 12
through 15 Dec 12.
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:
AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial, indicating the applicant failed to
demonstrate a clear error or injustice. Although the
applicants commander/first sergeant requested validation of the
his injury, there is no indication that the commander concurred
with the medical providers recommendation to invalidate the FA.
Additionally, the AF Form 422 which exempted the applicant from
the sit-up component of the FA does not cover the time period
the applicant tested. Furthermore, the evidence indicates the
applicants injury affected his sit-up component only; there is
no evidence to support voiding the remaining components as the
applicant requests.
A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSIM evaluation, with attachments,
is at Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANTS REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant on 15 Mar 13 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 applicants complete submission in judging the
merits of the case; however, we agree with the opinion and
recommendation of the Air Force office of primary responsibility
(OPR) and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion
the applicant has not been 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.
