AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
DOCKET NUMBERS: BC-2012-00255
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
IN THE MATTER OF:
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His Fitness Assessment (FA), dated 14 December 2011, be removed
from the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS).
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
Due to medical complications regarding migraine headaches and
dizziness, he was prescribed Baclofen, Fioricet, Fexofenadine and
Celebrex. Fioricet and Celebrex carry Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) warnings for cardiovascular thrombotic
events to include heart palpitations, tachycardia, and elevated
pulse. He was oblivious to the effects these drugs have on V02
(measure of cardio-respiratory fitness) standards prior to his
Primary Care Manager (PCM) placing him on a one mile walk
profile. Prior to his FA, his resting heart rate was 141, and
during his test, his heart rate fluctuated between 80 and 178.
In support of his appeal, the applicant provides copies of two
physician’s statements.
The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, 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 15 February 2012, AFPC/DPSIMC wrote to the applicant
requesting documentation to substantiate his claim, specifically,
documentation from his medical provider indicating the name and
type of medication he was taking as well as an Air Force IMT 422,
Physical Profile Serial Report, exempting him from the cardio
(1.5 mile run/1 mile walk) portion of the FA.
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 documentation from his
medical provider and an Air Force IMT 422 exempting him from the
cardio portion of the FA. Therefore, they must recommend his
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 1 May 2012, for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit D).
As of this date, this office has received no response.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS 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.

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.

DPSIM states per AFI 36-2905, Fitness Program, paragraph 4.2.5, all members will complete abdominal circumference (AC) assessment unless there is a composite exemption or, under rare circumstances, a component exemption determined by the exercise physiologist or fitness program manager upon recommendation by the provider. For someone who had back to back shoulder surgeries and is unable to perform physical activities for over a year, 42 days is not realistic. Exhibit D. Letter, Applicant,...
