                       RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 
         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 
 
IN THE MATTER OF: 
   
 
    
 
   
 
________________________________________________________________ 
 
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 
 
Her  fitness  assessment  (FA)  score  recorded  on  22  December  2011 
be removed from the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS).  
 
________________________________________________________________ 
 
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 
 
She  was  on  one  medication  which  prevented  her  from  taking  the 
cardio  component  of  the  fitness  assessment.    Additionally,  she 
was  diagnosed  with  Patella  Femoral  Pain  Syndrome  of  her  left 
knee and was required to wear a knee brace.   
 
In  support  of  her  request,  the  applicant  provides  a  personal 
statement of medical timeline, a copy of a signed AF Form 180, 
Physical  Fitness  Education  and  Intervention  Processing,  a  list 
of  prescribed  medications,  and  an  excerpt  from  AFI  26-2905, 
Fitness Program.   
 
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 (SSgt), E-5.   
 
________________________________________________________________ 
 
AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 
 
AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial.  DPSIM states on 16 April 2012, a 
memorandum  was  sent  to  the  applicant  requesting  additional 
documentation be submitted, within 30 days, to substantiate her 
claim.  Specifically, copies of her AF IMT 422, Notification of 
Air  Force  Member’s  Qualification  Status  indicating  her 
limitations.    The  applicant  did  not  provide  the  requested 
documentation.   
 

 

 

The complete AFPC/DPSIM evaluation is at Exhibit B. 
 
________________________________________________________________ 
 
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 
 
On 30 June 2012, the applicant submitted a copy her AF IMT 422, 
a  duplicate  copy  of  her  AF  Form  108,  a  copy  of  her  8  February 
2012  memorandum  in  response  to  a  letter  of  reprimand  issued  by 
her  commander  on  6 February  2012,  and  correspondence  received 
from AFPC/DPSIM and SAF/MRBR.   
 
The applicant’s complete submission is at 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.  Sufficient  relevant  evidence  has  been  presented  to 
demonstrate the existence of error or injustice.  After a review 
of  the  evidence  of  record  and  the  applicant’s  submission  the 
Board  majority  believes  that  relief  is  warranted.    We  note  the 
Air  Force  office  of  primary  responsibility  recommends  denial 
because  the  applicant  did  not  provide  the  requested 
documentation.    However,  we  believe  the  documentation  she 
provided in the form of an AF IMT 422, Notification of Air Force 
Member’s  Qualification  Status dated 1 November 2011, as well as 
the  medical  provider’s  assessment,  on  the  AF  Form  108,  dated 
22 December 2011, provides a reasonable basis to conclude there 
were  medical  conditions  which  precluded  the  applicant  from 
achieving a passing fitness assessment score.  Therefore, in the 
interest of equity and justice, the majority of the Board elects 
to resolve any doubt in favor of the applicant.  Accordingly, we 
recommend  the  applicant’s  record  be  corrected  as  indicated 
below.   
 
________________________________________________________________ 
 
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT: 
 
The  pertinent  military  records  of  the  Department  of  the  Air 
Force  relating  to  APPLICANT  be  corrected  to  show  the  fitness 
assessment dated 22 December 2011, be removed from the Air Force 
Fitness Management System.
