RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-03292
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His fitness assessment (FA), dated 30 May 2012, be removed from
the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS).
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was instructed to do the 1-mile walk for the cardio component
of his fitness assessment. He failed the assessment due to his
elevated heart rate. The officer in charge of flight medicine
determined that his current medication had a side effect of
increasing the heart rate and documented this on his AF Form
108, Physical Fitness Education and Intervention Processing.
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 (TSgt), E-6.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial. DPSIM states on 13 August 2012, a
memorandum was sent to the applicant requesting additional
documentation be submitted, within 30 days, to substantiate his
claim. Specifically, a copy of his AF Form 422, Notification of
Air Force Members Qualification Status, documenting his
medication, limitations and exemptions. The applicant did not
provide the requested documentation.
The complete AFPC/DPSIM evaluation, with attachments, is at
Exhibit B.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 15 January 2013, the applicant provided a copy of his
previously submitted AFBCMR application package along with an AF
Form 108, dated 7 December 2012, which documented his
medication, limitations, and exemptions.
The applicants complete submission is at 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. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to
demonstrate the existence of error or injustice with respect to
the applicants request for removal of the entire contested FA.
After thoroughly reviewing the evidence of record and noting the
applicant's contentions, we are not persuaded the entire
contested FA is in error or unjust. The AF Form 422, Notification of Air Force Members Qualification Status,
documenting his limitations and duty exemptions is noted;
however, we also note the Military Medical Providers assessment
on the AF Form 108, Physical Fitness Education and Intervention
Processing, indicating the applicant should have been exempt
from the cardio component of the FA due to one of his chronic
medications. In the absence of documentation indicating the
applicant should have been exempt from completing the FA, we
find insufficient evidence to warrant removal of the entire FA.
4 Notwithstanding our determination above, sufficient relevant
evidence has been presented to demonstrate the existence of
error or injustice to warrant partial relief. The Board notes
the Air Force office of primary responsibility recommends
denial, however, we also note the Military Medical Provider
determined the applicant should have been exempt from the walk
component of the contested FA due to one of his chronic
medications. Based on the medical providers assessment and the
recommendation of the commander to invalidate the contested FA,
we believe the cardio component should be corrected to reflect
exempt in the AFFMS. Our recommended change will result in an
overall composite fitness score of 78.75, (Satisfactory).
Accordingly, we recommend the applicants record 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 the cardio
component of the fitness assessment, dated 30 May 2012, be
amended to reflect exempt in the Air Force Fitness Management
System.
