IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-02396
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
The fitness assessment (FA) failure he received on 28 Nov 11, be
invalidated and removed from the Air Force Fitness Management
System (AFFMS).
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He failed his FA test on 28 Nov 11, and as a result was required
to be evaluated by medical personnel. They determined that he
had a previously unidentified medical condition and should have
been profiled differently for his FA.
In support of his request, the applicant provides copies of the
Memorandum for Medical Provider, his AF Form 108, Physical
Fitness Education and Intervention Processing, and a copy of his
Individual Fitness Assessment History Report from the AFFMS.
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 staff sergeant. The applicant failed his FA on
28 Nov 11 with a score of 52.50.
The relevant facts pertaining to this application are contained
in the letter prepared by the appropriate office of the Air
Force. Accordingly, there is no need to recite these facts in
this Record of Proceedings.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIM recommends updating the cardio component of the
applicants fitness assessment to reflect exempt in AFFMS;
which would change his overall composite score to
92.50 (Excellent).
DPSIM states the member provided a copy of his AF Form
108 indicating that he was evaluated and did not have a medical
condition precluding the achievement of a passing fitness score;
however, the Chief of Medical Staff non-concurred and stated he
did have a knee problem and the test should be invalidated.
The complete DPSIM evaluation is at Exhibit B.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 11 Sep 12, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to
the applicant for review and comment within 30 days. As of this
date, a response has not been received by this office (Exhibit
C).
_________________________________________________________________
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 error or injustice. After
carefully reviewing the evidence of record in this case, we agree
with the recommendation made by AFPC/DPSIM to update the
applicants 28 Nov 11 Fitness Assessment (FA) to reflect exempt
in the cardio component, which will change his overall composite
score to reflect 92.50, an Excellent rating. Evidence
presented in this case reflects the applicant was improperly
tested on the cardio component of the FA. Although the applicant
is requesting that his FA dated 28 Nov 11 be removed from the
AFFMS, we believe the relief recommended by DPSIM is the more
appropriate relief. Therefore, we recommend his records be
corrected as indicated below.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:
The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force
relating to APPLICANT, be corrected to show that the cardio
component of his Fitness Assessment (FA) dated 28 Nov 11 reflect
exempt in the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS).
