RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-03195
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
The Fitness Assessments (FAs) dated 30 Sep 11 and 23 Feb 12 be
removed from the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS).
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
She failed the FAs dated 30 Sep 11 and 23 Feb 12, due to a
medical condition that went undiagnosed at the time of her FAs.
She provided a note from her medical provider indicating that
because of her medical condition she should not have been
required to perform her FAs.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 30 Jul 12, a memorandum was sent by AFPC/DPSIM to the
applicant requesting additional documentation. Specifically,
copies of her signed score sheet, questionnaire for the fitness
assessments in question, AF Form 108, Physical Fitness and
Intervention Processing and the AF Form 422, Notification of Air
Force Members Qualification Status.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIM recommends partial approval, stating, in part, that
based on the additional documentation provided by the applicant,
the cardio component of the FA dated 23 Feb 12 should be updated
to reflect exempt in the AFFMS. The applicant's overall
fitness assessment will change to reflect 78.75 Satisfactory.
They recommend denial of the applicants request for removal of
the 30 Sep 11 FA, as the applicant did not provide any
additional documentation to support its removal.
The complete DPSIM evaluation is at Exhibit B.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The applicant notes the letter from her medical provider
indicates the scores from both the 30 Sep 11 and the
23 Feb 12 FAs should not be considered because of her
undiagnosed medical condition, i.e., back injury with nerve
damage to the right leg and neck. In addition, she notes that
her provider stated that had her magnetic resonance imaging
(MRI) been read in a timely fashion and she had a quicker
referral to his office, she would not have been expected to take
all four components of both tests.
The applicants complete response, with attachments, is at
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 error or injustice in regard to the
applicants 30 Sep 11 FA. After thoroughly reviewing the
evidence of record and noting the applicants contentions, we
are not persuaded the contested FA is in error or unjust. The
letter, dated 12 Apr 12, provided by the applicants medical
provider is noted; however, in the absence of a signed score
sheet, FA questionnaire, AF Form 108, and the AF Form 422, we
find insufficient evidence to warrant disturbing the record.
However, should the applicant provide such evidence, we would
be willing to reconsider her request. In view of the above and
in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no basis to
recommend granting the relief sought in this portion of the
application.
4. Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to
demonstrate the existence of error or injustice warranting
partial relief in respect to the applicant FA, dated 23 Feb 12.
We note the applicant has requested her entire FA be removed
from the AFFMS; however, the AF Form 422 only supports exempting
the cardio component. As such, we agree with the opinion and
recommendation of the Air Force office of primary responsibility
recommendation to only exempt the cardio component, which will
result in a satisfactory overall fitness assessment. Therefore,
we recommend the applicants record be corrected 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 cardio
component of the fitness assessment, dated 23 Feb 12, reflect
exempt in the Air Force Fitness Management System.
