RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-03159
		COUNSEL:  NONE
		HEARING DESIRED:  NO

________________________________________________________________
_

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His fitness assessment (FA) dated 13 Jun 12, be invalidated and 
removed from the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS).

________________________________________________________________
_

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

During the run portion of the test he suffered severe pain in 
both knees and stopped that portion of the test.  He completed 
all other components of the test.

He has since been placed on a medical profile and is scheduled 
to retest on 26 Jun 12.

In support of his request, the applicant provides a copy of his 
AF Form 469, Duty Limiting Condition Report and a Health and 
Wellness Center (HAWC) questionnaire form.

The applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at 
Exhibit A.

________________________________________________________________
_

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant is currently serving in the Air Force in the grade 
of master sergeant.  The applicant failed his 13 Jun 12 FA with 
a score of 33.40. 

________________________________________________________________
_

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSIM recommends partial approval by updating the cardio 
component of the FA dated 13 Jun 12 to reflect “exempt” in the 
AFFMS.  DPSIM states the applicant provided an AF Form 469, 
dated 14 Jun 12, stating “no running over 100 yards and no 
walking over 3/4 of a mile.” 

The complete DPSIM evaluation, with attachment, is at Exhibit B.

________________________________________________________________
_

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

On 30 Oct 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.  Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to 
demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice.  After 
carefully reviewing this application and the evidence provided 
in support of the appeal, we are not persuaded that the 
applicant’s Fitness Assessment (FA) dated 13 Jun 12 should be 
removed from his records.  While the applicant requests that his 
entire FA dated 13 Jun 12, be removed from his records, we note 
the AF Form 469 does not exempt him from the abdominal 
circumference, push-up, and sit-up components of his FA, 
therefore, these scores should remain as recorded.

4.  Notwithstanding the above, sufficient relevant evidence has 
been presented to warrant partial relief.  After carefully 
considering the evidence of record, we agree with the 
recommendation made by DPSIM to update the applicant’s 13 Jun 
12 FA to reflect exempt in the cardio component, which will 
change his overall composite score to reflect 83.50, a 
“Satisfactory” rating.  Accordingly, we recommend his 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 APPLICANT, be corrected to show that the 
cardio component of his Fitness Assessment (FA) dated 13 Jun 12 
reflect “exempt” in the Air Force Fitness Management System 
(AFFMS).

    Although the applicant is not clear on which FA test he would like removed from his records, we believe based on the Air Force office of primary responsibility review of his record and the AF Form 108 provided by the applicant that reflects his FA dated 15 Mar 12 is, in fact, the assessment he is requesting to be removed.
