AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

 

 
 

 

 

 
 

DOCKET NUMBERS:  BC-2012-00046 
COUNSEL: NONE 
HEARING DESIRED:  NO 

IN THE MATTER OF:   
      
 
 
_________________________________________________________________ 
 
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:  
 
Her Fitness Assessments (FA) dated 29 March 2010 and 18 December 
2009  be  removed  from  the  Air  Force  Fitness  Management  System 
(AFFMS).   
 
_________________________________________________________________ 
 
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 
 
She  was  misdiagnosed  with  Patellofemoral  Syndrome  and  “treated 
without relief.”  The chronic pain prevented her from being able 
to perform specific tasks and limited her range of motion during 
her  FA.    In  February  2011,  she  was  diagnosed  with  Rheumatoid 
Arthritis  confirming  the  underlying  cause  of  her  pain.    She  is 
currently under the care of a Rheumatologist to pursue the best 
treatment for diagnosis.   
 
In  support  of  her  appeal,  the  applicant  provides  a  copy  of  a 
letter from her Family Practice physician.   
 
The  applicant’s  complete  submission,  with  attachment,  is  at 
Exhibit A. 
 
_________________________________________________________________ 
 
STATEMENT OF FACTS: 
 
The  applicant  is  currently  a  member  of  the  Regular  Air  Force 
serving in the grade of staff sergeant (E-5).   
 
On  13  February  2012,  AFPC/DPSIMC  wrote  to  the  applicant 
requesting documentation to substantiate her claim, specifically, 
the  Duty  Limiting  Condition  (DLC)  469  Report  and  AF  IMT  422, 
Physical  Profile  Serial  Report, stating what components she was 
not cleared to perform.  In addition, they requested her SF Form 
108,  Physical  Fitness  Education  and  Intervention  Processing, 
documented  by  her  local  Military  Treatment  Facility  (MTF), 
indicating her medical condition contributed to her FA failure.   
 
The  remaining  relevant  facts,  extracted  from  the  applicant’s 
military service record, are contained in the evaluation provided 
by the Air Force office of primary responsibility at Exhibit C.   
 
_________________________________________________________________ 

 
AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 
 
AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial.  DPSIM states the applicant has not 
responded  to  their  request  for  copies  of  her  Duty  Limiting 
Condition (DLC) 469 Report, AF IMT 422 stating which components 
she  was  cleared  to  perform,  as  well  as  her  AF  Form  108, 
documented  by  her  local  MTF  that  her  medical  condition 
contributed  to  her  FA  failure.    Therefore,  they  must  recommend 
her request be denied.   
 
The complete DPSIM evaluation, with attachment, is at Exhibit C.   
 
_________________________________________________________________ 
 
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 
 
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant 
on 10 April 2012, for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit 
D).  As of this date, this office has received no response. 
 
_________________________________________________________________ 
 
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 error or injustice.  We took notice 
of the applicant's 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 and adopt its 
rationale as the basis for our conclusion that 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  that  the  evidence  presented  did  not 
demonstrate  the  existence  of  material  error  or  injustice;  that 
the  application  was  denied  without  a  personal  appearance;  and 
that  the  application  will  only  be  reconsidered  upon  the 
submission  of  newly  discovered  relevant  evidence  not  considered 
with this application.
