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.
