RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-03766
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_______________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His 26 Jul 11 Fitness Assessment (FA) be removed from the Air
Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS).
_______________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He received a profile for Costochondritis on 21 Sep 11. At the
time of his FA, his Primary Care Manager (PCM) was still trying
to figure out the cause of his chest pain. He has since
received an AF Form 108, Physical Fitness Education and
Intervention Processing, from his PCM indicating there was a
medical issue that prevented him from passing his FA.
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 staff sergeant (E-5).
On 17 Mar 11, the applicant was issued an AF Form 422, Notification of Air Force Members Qualification Status, which
exempted him from the 1.5 mile run and expired on 12 Jun 11.
On 26 Jul 11, the applicant participated in the contested FA,
attaining a composite score of 19.00, which constituted an
unsatisfactory assessment.
On 21 Sep 11, the applicant was issued an AF Form 422, which
exempted him from the 1.5 mile run and push-ups, and expired on
21 Nov 11.
The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are
contained in the letter prepared by the appropriate office of
the Air Force, which is attached at Exhibit C.
_______________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial, noting the applicant provided an
AF Form 469, Duty Limiting Condition Report (DLC), dated 19 Sep
11 and an AF 422, Notification of Air Force Members
Qualification Status, dated 21 Sep 11, exempting him from the
1.5 mile run and pushup components of the FA. Both these
documents are dated two months after the member completed the
contested FA. The applicant had a DLC and AF Form 422 both
predating the contested FA and exempting him from the 1.5 mile
run only with an expiration date of 12 Jun 11. The applicants
42 day reacclamation period expired two days prior to the
contested FA and prior to receiving another profile. The
applicant failed to meet the minimum requirements in all four
components of the contested FA.
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 1 Oct 12 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. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to
demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice. The
applicant contends that there was a preexisting medical issue
that prevented him from passing the contested FA. However,
after a thorough review of the evidence of record and the
applicants complete submission, we are not convinced that he is
the victim of an error or injustice. While the applicant argues
that his PCM was still trying to figure out the cause of his
chest pain at the time of his contested FA, he has provided no
evidence to indicate that he should have been exempt from the
contested FA or any component thereof. 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.
