RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-01210
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
IN THE MATTER OF:
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His fitness assessment (FA) score recorded on 28 Feb 12 be
removed from the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS).
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
After his 28 Feb 12 FA, he sought treatment for pain in the
right side of his body and it was subsequently determined that
he had a medical condition that precluded him from achieving a
passing score on his FA.
In support of his request, the applicant provides copies of AF
Forms 469, Duty Limiting Condition (DLC) Report, AF Form 422,
Notification of Air Force Member’s Qualification Status, and
documents related to this matter.
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.
In accordance with AFI 36-2905, Fitness Program, to determine
overall fitness the Air Force uses an overall composite fitness
score and minimum scores per 3 component areas: Aerobic Fitness
(1.5 mile run), Body Composition (abdominal circumference
measurement), and Muscular Fitness (number of push-ups and sit-
ups completed within 1 minute each). Military members receive a
composite score on a 0 to 100 scale based on the following
maximum component scores: 60 points for aerobic, 20 points for
body composition, 10 points for push-ups and 10 points for sit-
ups. To determine individual composite fitness scores the Air
Force uses age and gender specific fitness score charts.
The applicant was required to earn an overall composite score of
75 or greater. He received an overall score of 74.00 and
received an unsatisfactory for the fitness test.
The AF Form 469 dated 28 Feb 12 reflects the applicant was
precluded from rucksack carrying, no pushing or pulling of 20
pounds or greater, and no lifting more than 20 lbs. These
limitations expired on 14 Mar 12.
By letter dated 2 Mar 12, the applicant’s medical provider
determined the applicant had a medical condition that precluded
him from achieving a passing score on his FA.
AF Form 422 dated 5 Mar 12 exempted the applicant from doing
pushups and sit-ups. However, he could walk, run cycle, swim,
elliptical, circuit train with light weight high reps using
machines.
The applicant’s commander, by letter dated 14 Mar 12, requests
the applicant’s 28 Feb 12 FA score be removed from his records
or nullified.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial to remove the applicant’s 28 Feb 12
FA score from the AFFMS. However, they do recommend the pushup
and sit-up components of the contested FA be updated to reflect
exempt and the score for the cardio and abdominal circumference
remain as is in the AFFMS. The applicant’s overall composite
score will be 74.13 and remain as unsatisfactory as he did not
meet the minimum score required for a satisfactory FA.
The complete AFPC/DPSIM evaluation is at Exhibit B.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant on 11 May 12 for review and comment within 30 days.
As of this date, no response has been received by this office.
________________________________________________________________
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
thorough review of the evidence provided by the applicant, to
include the supporting statement from his Family Medicine
Physician Assistant and from his commander, we believe his
28 Feb 12 Fitness Assessment score should be removed.
Therefore, to preclude the possibility of an injustice to the

indicated below.
________________________________________________________________
