AFI 36-2905, Air Force Guidance Memo 4, Fitness Program,
paragraph 10 states if an airman becomes injured or ill during
the FA and is unable to complete all required components, they
will have the option of being evaluated by a medical treatment
facility. The test will still count unless rendered invalid by
the unit commander. The airman will then be required to retest
within five duty days or when capable based on the
recommendation of the medical provider. The exercise
physiologist or fitness assessment cell will hold the scores of
Regular Air Force or Active Guard Reservist who becomes injured
or ill for five days to allow the medical and commander to
review. Scores can be entered on the sixth duty day if the
commander does not invalidate the test.
The complete DPSIM evaluation, with attachments, is at
Exhibit B.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
Although he is unable to submit the requested documents, he has
submitted documents from his Tricare Online medical record
showing his prior health conditions, along with surgery that has
lead to his current medical condition.
The applicant’s complete response, with attachments, is at
Exhibit D.
________________________________________________________________
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 injustice to warrant relief. We thoroughly
considered the applicant’s complete submission and the OPR’s
recommendation not to remove the fitness assessment score.
However, based on a statement from the applicant’s commander and
the physician’s statement that the applicant’s medical condition
may have contributed to his failure, we believe reasonable doubt
has been established that his medical condition precluded him from
passing the fitness assessment. Accordingly, we believe any doubt
