RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-03024 

 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

 ____________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

His 24 May 2012 Fitness Assessment (FA) score be removed from 
the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS). 

 

 ____________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

His difficulty in breathing and chest pains that he experienced 
during his fitness assessment affected the cardio results of his 
test. His health care provider determined his medical condition 
precluded him from achieving a passing fitness score. 

 

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 technical sergeant (E-6). 

 

On 24 May 2012, the applicant participated in the contested FA, 
attaining a run time component value of 14:17, which constituted 
an unsatisfactory assessment. 

 

 ____________________________________________________________ 

 

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFPC/DPSIM recommends partial approval, indicating the applicant 
had been evaluated and has a medical condition precluding the 
achievement of a passing fitness score. In accordance with Air 
Force Instruction (AFI) 36-2905, Fitness Program, all members 
will complete AC assessment unless there is a composite 
exemption or, under rare circumstances, a component exemption 
determined by the exercise physiologist upon recommendation by 
the provider. The applicant’s cardio, sit-up, and pushup 
portion of the FA should be updated to reflect “exempt” in 
AFFMS, resulting in an overall fitness assessment of 100.0 
(Excellent). 


A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSIM evaluation is at Exhibit C. 

 

 ____________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the 
applicant on 23 October 2012 for review and comment within 30 
days. As of this date, no response has been received by this 
office (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 error or injustice warranting 
partial relief. We took notice of the applicant’s complete 
submission in judging the merits of the case and agree with the 
opinion and recommendation of the Air Force office of primary 
responsibility and adopt their rationale as the basis for our 
conclusion he should have been exempt from the cardio, sit-up, 
and push-up components of the contested fitness assessment (FA). 
While we note the applicant has requested his FA score be 
removed from his records in its entirety, the corrections noted 
above will result in the applicant attaining an overall passing 
score and, in our view, this constitutes full and fitting 
relief. Accordingly, we recommend the applicant’s records be 
corrected to the extent indicated below. 

 

 ____________________________________________________________ 

 

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT: 

 

The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air 
Force relating to the APPLICANT be corrected to show that he was 
exempt from the cardio, sit-up, and push-up components of his 
24 May 2012 Fitness Assessment (FA), resulting in him attaining 
an overall composite score of 100.0, which constitutes an 
excellent rating.
