RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-03570
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_______________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His current Fitness Assessment (FA) failures on record be
removed from the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS).
_______________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He has been diagnosed with a thyroid condition and metabolic
syndrome that relate to his inability to pass physical fitness
tests.
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 senior airman (E-4).
On 23 Feb 11, the applicant participated in an FA, attaining a
composite score of 74.30, but he failed to perform the minimum
required pushups, which constituted an unsatisfactory
assessment.
On 16 May 11, the applicant participated in an FA, attaining a
composite score of 77.80, but he failed to perform the minimum
required pushups, which constituted an unsatisfactory
assessment.
On 10 Feb 12, the applicant participated in an FA, attaining a
composite score of 77.67, but he failed to perform the minimum
required situps, which constituted an unsatisfactory assessment.
On 23 Mar 12, the applicants physician sent an email to his
commander stating the applicants thyroid condition had been
corrected, so that diagnosis was not the cause of the failed
aerobic component (1 mile walk) of the FA. He also stated that
his metabolic syndrome diagnosis is clearly the cause of his
obesity and in his medical opinion, has rendered the applicant
unable to rapidly reverse his aerobic fitness, and any fitness
testing of this component of the FA is directly related to his
medical condition.
_______________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial, noting that the applicant was sent
correspondence requesting additional documentation signed by his
physician stating that he had a medical condition precluding the
achievement of passing fitness scores on his past tests. The
applicant failed to provide the requested documentation.
A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSIM evaluation, with attachments,
is at Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant on 4 May 12, for review and comment within 30 days
(Exhibit D). As of this date, no response has been received by
this office.
________________________________________________________________
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. The
applicant contends that his thyroid condition and metabolic
syndrome diagnosis precluded him from attaining a passing score
on the contested fitness assessments However, after a thorough
review of the evidence of record and the applicants complete
submission, we are not convinced that his diagnosis precluded
him from attaining a passing score on the contested FAs. His
physician states that his metabolic syndrome diagnosis was
clearly the cause of his obesity and in his medical opinion,
renders him unable to rapidly reverse his aerobic fitness and
any fitness failure of the cardio component of the FA is
directly related to his medical condition. However, we note
that none of the applicants failures were attributed to his
performance in the aerobic component of the FA, instead his
failures were directly attributed to his inability to perform
the minimum standards in other components which are unrelated to
his aerobic fitness. Therefore, in the absence of evidence to
the contrary, we find no basis to recommend granting the relief
sought in this application.
________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; the
application was denied without a personal appearance; and the
application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of
newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this
application.
