AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-02004
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
IN THE MATTER OF:
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His fitness assessment, dated 13 March 2011, be removed from the
Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS).
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He fractured his left foot on 24 October 2010 and was placed on
physical restrictions for six weeks. On 4 December 2010, he was
exempted from all components of the fitness assessment. During
a follow-up appointment the physical restriction was extended
until 14 February 2011.
On 13 March 2011, he was directed to perform the fitness
assessment and failed. AFI 36-2905, paragraph 4.2.2.3, Fitness
Programs, states members who are on physical restrictions for
greater than 30 days should be given time for reconditioning.
These members then become eligible for fitness assessments 42
days after the expiration of their physical restriction.
He was directed to take the fitness assessment 27 days after his
physical restriction ended and not 42 days, as required.
In support of his request, the applicant provides his
physician’s notes and his AFFMS printout.
The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant is currently serving in the Air Force Reserves in
the grade of master sergeant.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFRC/A1S recommends denial. A military provider must make the
final disposition for any physical limitations in cases where
military members are seen by non-military providers, or when Air
Reserve Component (ARC) members bring recommendations from their
Personal Care Provider (PCP). Limitations will be transcribed
by an Air Force provider on an AF Form 422, Physical Profile
Serial Report. The applicant did not provide the required AF
Form 469, Duty Limiting Report, or AF Form 422 to show the dates
of exemptions as required by AFI 36-2905.
Additionally, at a minimum, members should be assessed on the
abdominal circumference (AC) barring rare circumstances. The
applicant’s condition did not prevent him from taking the AC
measurement, nor did any profile or AF Form 422 prevent him from
doing so.
There is insufficient documentation showing the exemptions and
the expiration dates of the exemptions.
The complete A1S evaluation is at Exhibit B.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant on 20 June 2012, for review and comment within 30 days
(Exhibit C). As of this date, this office has received no
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. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to
demonstrate the existence of an injustice. We took notice of
the applicant’s complete submission in judging the merits of
this case. However, we agree with the opinion and
recommendation of the Air Force office of primary responsibility
and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion that the
applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice. In
the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no compelling
basis to recommend granting the relief sought in this
application.
FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY – PRIVACY ACT OF 1974
________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:
The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; that
the application was denied without a personal appearance; and
that the application will only be reconsidered upon the
submission of newly discovered relevant evidence not considered
with this application.

DPSIM states per AFI 36-2905, Fitness Program, paragraph 4.2.5, all members will complete abdominal circumference (AC) assessment unless there is a composite exemption or, under rare circumstances, a component exemption determined by the exercise physiologist or fitness program manager upon recommendation by the provider.
