RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-02419
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
The Fitness Assessment (FA) dated 5 Jan 12 be removed from the
Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS).
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His FA failure was determined by a medical provider as being the
result of a current medical condition he had at the time of the
assessment.
In support of his appeal, the applicant provides copies of an
AF Form 108, Physical Fitness Education and Intervention
Processing, signed by his medical provider on 9 Jun 12;
AF Form 422, Notification of Air Force Members Qualification
Status, dated 12 Jan 12, and his FA Score Card.
The applicants 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 technical sergeant (E-6).
On 5 Jan 12, he received an unsatisfactory score on his FA.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIM recommends approval, stating, in part, that the
cardio component should be updated to reflect exempt in the
AFFMS. DPSIM notes the applicant was given an AF Form 422
exempting him from all components of the FA except the abdominal
circumference.
The complete DPSIM evaluation, with attachment, is at Exhibit B.
________________________________________________________________
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. As
of this date, no response has 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 error or injustice warranting
corrective action. We note the Air Force office of primary
responsibility (OPR) recommends the applicant be exempt from all
components except the abdominal circumference. Although the
relief recommended by the OPR will result in a satisfactory
fitness level, based on our review of the AF Form 422, noting
the various restrictions, it is our opinion that removing the
entire FA provides the applicant the more appropriate relief.
Therefore, in the interest of justice, we recommend the
applicants record 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
Fitness Assessment, dated 5 Jan 12, be removed from the Air
Force Fitness Management System.
