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.
