RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-04774
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His fitness assessment (FA), dated 10 July 2012, be removed from
the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS).
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He broke his back during the sit-up portion of his 10 July 2012
FA. This rendered him incapable of a fair assessment. There
was an X-ray taken on the day of his FA proving he sustained a
debilitating injury. The injury, however, could not be
confirmed until 10 days later when he was administered an MRI.
He has since undergone treatment for this injury.
In support of his appeal, the applicant provides AF Form 422,
Notification of Air Force Members Qualification Status, AF Form
469, Duty Limiting Condition Report, E-mail correspondence and
his Air Force Fitness Management System print out.
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. On 10 July 2012, the applicant
achieved a composite score of 77.40 on his FA. He did not
attain the minimum amount of sit-up for this gender/age group;
therefore, his fitness level was listed as unsatisfactory.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIM recommends approval of removing the cardio, push-up
and sit-up components of the FA dated 10 July 2012. The
applicant provided an AF Form 422 stating that he was cleared
for the abdominal measurement only.
The cardio, push-up and sit-up components of the assessment
should be updated to reflect exempt. The applicants overall
composite score would then reflect 100.00 - excellent.
The complete DPSIM evaluation, with attachment, is at Exhibit B.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant on 30 October 2012, 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 error or injustice. We find
insufficient evidence to warrant removal of the contested FA in
its entirety. Therefore, we find no basis upon which to
recommend favorable consideration of his request to remove the
contested FA from the AFFMS.
4. Notwithstanding the above determination, we believe some
relief is warranted. We took note of the recommendation of the
Air Force office of primary responsibility to exempt the
applicant from the sit-up, push-up and cardio components of the
contested FA and agree the record should be corrected
accordingly. The applicant has provided substantial evidence
that he was seriously injured during the contested FA.
Therefore, we recommend the applicants records be corrected
only 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 that the sit-
up, push-up and cardio components of the Fitness Assessment
dated 10 July 2010, be amended to reflect exempt in the Air
Force Fitness Management System.
