AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-01460
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
IN THE MATTER OF:
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
The fitness assessment (FA) failure he received on 3 Feb 12, be
removed or invalidated from the Air Force Fitness Management
System (AFFMS).
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He injured himself while performing the FA on 1 Feb 12. He
reported to the Emergency Room and an AF Form 469, Duty Limiting
Condition Report, was generated. The Fitness Assessment Center
(FAC) entered his score on 3 Feb 12. The AF Form 469 was not
made available to him until 16 Feb 12. Per the guidance in AFI
36-2905, Fitness Program, Paragraph 10a and 10b, the FAC should
have entered his test scores on 7 Feb 12 (allowing 5 duty days
for medical and commander review).
His commander supports his request to remove the failed FA score.
In support of his request, the applicant provides copies of a
letter from his commander, an extract from AFI 36-2905, AF Form
469; AF Forms 422, Notification of Air Force Member’s
Qualification Status, and his FA record.
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 master sergeant. The applicant injured himself
during his 1 Feb 12 FA requiring him to seek immediate medical
attention. The FAC entered the score in the AFFMS on 3 Feb 12.
The relevant facts pertaining to this application are contained
in the letter prepared by the appropriate office of the Air
Force. Accordingly, there is no need to recite these facts in
this Record of Proceedings.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial. DPSIM states on 9 May 12 a
memorandum was sent to the applicant requesting additional
documentation, specifically, the member’s signed FA score sheet
and a letter from the FAC indicating that he informed them he was
injured while completing the FA and was seeking medical attention
afterwards. The member did not provide the requested
documentation.
DPSIM states per AFI 36-2905 and Air Force Guidance Memorandum
(AFGM) 4, paragraph 10, if an Airman becomes injured or ill
during the FA and is unable to complete all required components,
he/she will have the option of being evaluated at the Medical
Treatment Facility (MTF) but his/her test will still count unless
rendered invalid by the Unit Commander.
The complete DPSIM evaluation, with attachment, is at Exhibit B.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 28 Aug 12, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to
the applicant for review and comment within 30 days. As of this
date, a response has not been received by this office (Exhibit
C).
_________________________________________________________________
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
relief. We note the office of primary responsibility (OPR)
recommends denial based on the fact the applicant did not provide
the requested documentation to support his claim. However, after
reviewing the evidence submitted, to include the medical
documentation and a letter from his commander, we believe the
evidence is sufficient to find it in the interest of justice to
remove the 3 Feb 12 FA. Therefore, in view of the above, we
recommend his records 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 that his Fitness
Assessment (FA), dated 3 Feb 12 be removed from the Air Force
Fitness Management System (AFFMS).
