RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-01505 

 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

His fitness assessment (FA) score recorded on 29 Mar 12 be 
removed from the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS). 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

His FA score is inaccurate due to the knee surgery he had prior 
to his FA. His physician determined he should not have 
participated in the FA due to his post surgery medical 
condition. 

 

In support of his request, the applicant provides a copy of 
memorandum from his physician. 

 

The applicant’s complete submission, with attachment, is at 
Exhibit A. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

The applicant is currently serving in the Regular Air Force in 
the grade of airman first class (A1C), E-3. 

 

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. 

 

Furthermore, Attachment 14 of the AFI reflects males under age 
30 must meet minimum value in each of the four components, and 
achieves a composite point total greater than 75 points. 

 


Additionally, service members with a duty limiting condition 
prohibiting them from performing one or more of the components 
of the FA will be assessed on the remaining components. 
However, all members will complete an AC assessment. 

 

The applicant was required to earn an overall composite score of 
75 or greater. The applicant received an overall score of 63.00 
and therefore received an unsatisfactory rating for the fitness 
test. 

 

The applicant’s physician, by letter dated 30 Mar 12, requests 
the applicant’s 29 Mar 12 FA score be removed due to the 
applicant’s post operation state from knee surgery. 

 

On 1 May 12, DPSIM requested the applicant provide a copy of his 
AF Form 422, Notification of Air Force Member’s Qualification 
Status, AF Form 469, Duty Limiting Condition Report, and AF Form 
108, Physical Fitness Education and Intervention Processing. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial noting the applicant failed to 
respond to a request to provide additional medical 
documentation, specifically his AF Forms 422, 469, and 108. 

 

The complete AFPC/DPSIM evaluation, with attachments, is at 
Exhibit C. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the 
applicant on 7 Aug 12 for review and comment within 30 days 
(Exhibit D). 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. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to 
demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice. We took 
notice of the applicant's complete submission in judging the 
merits of the case; however, we agree with the opinion and the 


recommendation of the Air Force office of primary responsibility 
(OPR) and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion 
the applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice. 
We note the Air Force OPR requested additional documentation 
from the applicant to help evaluate the merits of his claim; 
however, he failed to respond. Therefore, in the absence of 
evidence to the contrary, we find no basis to recommend granting 
the relief sought in this application. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT: 

 

The applicant be notified the evidence presented did not 
demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; the 
application was denied without a personal appearance; and the 
application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of 
newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this 
application.
