RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF:
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
The cardio portion of his fitness assessment (FA) score recorded
on 13 December 2011 be reflected as exempt in the Air Force
Fitness Management System (AFFMS).
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He should have been exempt from the cardio portion of his FA
because he had an existing medical condition which precluded him
from passing that portion of the test.
In support of his request, the applicant provides copies of
memorandums for record (MFRs) from his commander and supervisor,
AF Form 108, Physical Fitness Education and Intervention
Processing, AF Form 422, Notification of Air Force Member’s
Qualification Status, his AFFMS Individual Test History and
supporting documents.
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 Senior Airman (SrA), E-4.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial. DPSIM states the applicant was
administered his fitness assessment correctly in accordance with
(IAW) AFI 36-2905, Fitness Program. Per AFI 36-2905, paragraph
9.4.5, the applicant was referred for a medical exam and records
review to determine if a medical condition prohibited his
success in the fitness program. This medical review was a
result of the applicant having four fitness assessment failures
in a 24-month period. Per AFI 36-2905, paragraph 9.1.5.2, unit
commanders shall make a discharge or retention recommendation to
the installation commander when an individual remains in the
unsatisfactory fitness category for a continuous 12-month period
or receives four unsatisfactory FA scores in a 24-month period.
Prior to initiation of discharge action, a military medical
provider must have ruled out medical conditions precluding the
applicant from achieving a passing score. Recommend the FA
dated 13 December 2011 not be removed from AFFMS since this
failure will not be counted against the applicant if a
separation or retention decision has to be made in the near
future.
The complete AFPC/DPSIM evaluation, with attachment, is at
Exhibit B.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant on 7 May 2012 for review and comment within 30 days
(Exhibit C). To date, this office has not received a response.
________________________________________________________________
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 we
believe relief is warranted. The Board notes the Air Force
office of primary responsibility recommends denial, however, we
note the Military Medical Provider concludes there are medical
conditions which precluded the applicant from achieving a
passing fitness assessment score. Based on the medical
provider’s assessment, we believe the cardio portion of the
13 December 2011 fitness assessment score should be corrected to
reflect “exempt” in the Air Force Fitness Management System.
Accordingly, we recommend the applicant’s record be corrected as
indicated below.
________________________________________________________________
2
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:
The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air
Force relating to APPLICANT be corrected to show the cardio
portion of the fitness assessment dated 13 December 2011 be
amended to reflect “exempt” in the Air Force Fitness Management
System.

from the Unit CC.

While the applicant has provided the results of this medical review, indicating that he had a medical condition precluding him from achieving a passing score, this in and of itself, does not convince us the contested FAs should be invalidated.
