RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-04196
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His fitness assessment (FA), dated 12 July 2012, be removed from
the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS).
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
Prior to and during his FA he experienced hip and knee pain. He
was not placed on the correct fitness profile. His profile
should have stated he was not cleared for the 1.5 mile run,
1 mile walk and sit ups.
After he was injured during this FA, he immediately notified his
first sergeant, Unit Fitness Program Manager and supervisor. He
then went to the emergency room where he was prescribed
medication for the pain and referred for a follow-up medical
appointment.
During his follow-up appointment, the physician stated he should
have been exempt from performing the sit-up portion of the FA.
He was given a profile stating he should have been exempt from
the sit-up, run and walk after his visit to the emergency room.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant is currently serving in the Air Force in the grade
of airman first class. On 12 July 2012, the applicant completed
the FA. He was exempt from the 1.5 mile run and the 1 mile walk
components of the FA. The applicants overall FA score was
73.50 (unsatisfactory).
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial. In accordance with AFI 36-2905, Fitness Program, if an airman becomes injured or ill during the
FA, he/she will have the option of being evaluated at the
Medical Treatment Facility (MTF) whether they complete the FA or
not. Before departing the test location, airmen must notify the
FAC of the presence of an illness or injury. If the medical
evaluation validates the illness or injury and provides
supporting medical documentation, the Unit Commander may
invalidate the FA results by notifying the FAC in writing. If
the FA is invalidated, the airman will be required to retest on
all non-exempt FA components within five duty days from the
original FA test date. If an AF Form 422 is required, an
additional five days will be allowed for the AF Form 422 to be
generated and provided. The original FA will count unless
rendered invalid by the unit commander. Airmen should notify
their commander within the one duty day of the FA regarding the
injury or illness to ensure communication regarding test
validity with the MTF and FAC staff occurs prior to score entry
in AFFMS.
The FAC must also review the Fitness Screening Questionnaire
prior to allowing any member to conduct an official FA and
forward any high-risk response to the MTF. If a member has a
component exemption, an AF Form 422 must be provided to the
member by the MTF.
The applicant failed to provide a copy of the AF Form 108, Physical Fitness Education and Intervention Processing,
indicating that he had a preexisting condition that contributed
to his FA failure on 12 July 2012.
He has not demonstrated a clear error or injustice.
The complete DPSIM evaluation, with attachments, is at
Exhibit B.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant on 25 January 2013, for review and comment within
30 days (Exhibit C). As of this date, this office has received
no response.
________________________________________________________________
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 injustice. After a thorough
review of the evidence presented, we are not persuaded that the
fitness assessment is erroneous or unjust as recorded. As such,
we agree with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force
office of responsibility and adopt its rationale as the basis for
our conclusion that the applicant has not been the victim of an
error or injustice. In the absence of persuasive evidence to the
contrary, we find no compelling basis to recommend granting the
relief sought in this application.
________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS 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.
