AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-01347
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: YES
IN THE MATTER OF:
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His Fitness Assessment (FA) dated 27 February 2012 be removed
from his records.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He had two clavicle surgeries and was medically exempt from
running, push-ups and sit-ups until 18 November 2011. His next
profile only exempted him from push-ups until 7 March
2012 because his medical provider thought he would have
physically recovered enough to complete the FA. On 27 February
2012, part way through the sit-up portion of his FA the pressure
in his clavicle region began to cause sharp pain which hindered
his ability to complete the minimum number required. He visited
his medical provider within two days following the FA and was
placed back on a profile exempting him from push-ups and sit-ups.
In support of his request, the applicant provides copies of his
AF Forms 422, Notification of Air Force Member’s Qualification
Status and AF Form 469, Duty Limiting Condition Report.
His complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIM recommends approval. DPSIM recommends the sit-ups
component of FA dated 27 February 2012 be updated to reflect
“exempt” in AFFMS. The overall composite score will change to
reflect 86.50 (Satisfactory).
The complete DPSIM evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit B.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 11 May 2012, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded
to the applicant for review and response within 30 days (Exhibit
C). 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 an error or injustice warranting
partial relief. We believe the documentation provided by the
applicant provides a reasonable basis to conclude the applicant
should have been “exempt” from performing the sit-up portion of
the FA test. Therefore, 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 only
the sit-up component of his FA test be corrected. Therefore, we
recommend that the records be corrected as indicated below.
4. The applicant's case is adequately documented and it has not
been shown that a personal appearance with or without counsel
will materially add to our understanding of the issue involved.
Therefore, the request for a hearing is not favorably considered.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:
The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force
relating to APPLICANT be corrected to show that the sit-up
component of the Fitness Assessment dated 27 February 2012 be
amended to reflect “exempt” in the Air Force Fitness Management
System.
