RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-03460
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: YES
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His fitness assessment (FA) score dated 22 March 2012 be removed
from the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS).
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The FA should have never taken place due to the fact that he had
a medical issue which caused him to fail the heart rate portion
of the assessment. On the day of the FA, his AF Form 469, Duty
Limiting Condition Report, did not express the full extent of
his duty limitations. The omission of his restriction for the
1-mile walk on the AF Form 469 led him to the Health and
Wellness Center (HAWC) doctor. After the FA he had a medical
review and received an updated AF Form 469.
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 Staff Sergeant, E-5.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial. DPSIM states on 14 August 2012, a
memorandum was sent to the applicant requesting additional
documentation be submitted, within 30 days, to substantiate his
claim (Exhibit C). Specifically, a copy of his updated AF Form
422, Notification of Air Force Members Qualification Status,
exempting him from the 1-mile walk.
DPSIM further states the applicant provided an AF Form 469 dated
27 March 2012 which stated; no walking farther than 0.25 miles,
and no high impact activities to include no running and jumping.
Per AFI 36-2905, Fitness Program, abdominal circumference (AC)
will be performed on all members, unless exempted by medical
provider. If all components except the AC were exempt, for the
FA in question, the applicant would still receive an overall
unsatisfactory score (67.60).
The complete AFPC/DPSIM evaluation, with attachments, is at
Exhibit D.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant on 6 November 2012 for review and comment within
30 days (Exhibit E). To date, a response has not been received.
________________________________________________________________
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. After
thoroughly reviewing the evidence of record and noting the
applicant's contentions, we are not persuaded the contested FA
is in error or unjust. The AF Form 469 Duty Limiting Condition
Report, documenting his physical limitations and restrictions is
noted; however, we also note that the evidence of record
indicates the applicants unsatisfactory FA score was the result
of his AC measurement and even if all components except the AC
were exempt, he would still receive an overall unsatisfactory
score. Therefore, we agree with the opinion and recommendation
of the Air Force office of primary responsibility and adopt its
rationale as the basis for our decision that the applicant has
not suffered either an error or injustice. Therefore, in the
absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no basis to
recommend granting the relief sought in this application.
4. The applicant's case is adequately documented and it has not
been shown that a personal appearance with or without counsel
will materially add to our understanding of the issue(s)
involved. Therefore, the request for a hearing is not favorably
considered.
________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; that
the application was denied without a personal appearance; and
that the application will only be reconsidered upon the
submission of newly discovered relevant evidence not considered
with this application.

This logic also concludes a medical condition causing weight gain would cause an increase in AC. She should have never taken the walk test while her dosage was still being adjusted and the FA should be invalidated based on the solid medical evidence presented. While we note the applicant requests the entire FA dated 25 Apr 2012, be removed, the AF Form 422 reflected that she was cleared to test using AC and she has not provided substantial evidence to persuade us otherwise.
