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 applicants 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 applicants physician, by letter dated 30 Mar 12, requests
the applicants 29 Mar 12 FA score be removed due to the
applicants 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 Members 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.
