________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His fitness assessment (FA) score recorded on 19 Jul 12 be
removed from the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS).
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He experienced symptoms of nausea and vomiting for three weeks;
as a result of this medical condition, he was unable to attain a
passing score on the waist measurement component of the
contested FA. By the time he sought medical care, the problem
had rectified itself.
In support of his request, the applicant provides an expanded
statement and a copy of SF Form 600, Chronological Record of
Medical Care.
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 staff sergeant (E-5).
In accordance with AFI 36-2905, Fitness Program, to determine
overall fitness the Air Force uses an overall composite fitness
score and minimum scores per three component areas: Aerobic
Fitness, Body Composition, and Muscular Fitness. Military
members receive a composite score on a 0 to 100 scale based on
the following maximum component scores: 60 points for aerobic,
20 points for body composition, 10 points for push-ups and 10
points for sit-ups.
Furthermore, Attachment 2, USAF Fitness Scoring, of the AFI
reflects males 30-39 must meet minimum value in each of the four
components, and achieve a composite point total greater than 75
points. The passing minimum score for the waist measurement
component is 39 inches.
On 19 Jul 12, the applicant participated in the contested FA
where his waist was measured at 41 inches; as a result, he did
not attain a satisfactory score on the overall assessment.
On 23 Jul 12, the applicant reported to the Family Practice
Clinic with complaints of nausea and constipation on and off for
two weeks. The applicant stated he had a long history a high
protein, low carbohydrate, and fiber diet. The applicant was
counseled on proper nutrition.
The applicants last five FA results are as follows:

On 3 Dec 12, AFPC/DPSIM requested the applicant provide
additional documentation to substantiate his claim, specifically
a signed copies of his fitness score sheet and questionnaire.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of
an error an injustice. The applicant chose to complete the FA
despite his medical condition. Prior to his FA, he should have
reported his medical concerns to the Fitness Assessment Cell
(FAC). Had he notified the FAC of his condition, the FAC would
have excused him from testing. Under the governing instruction
if an airman becomes ill or injured during the FA and is unable
to complete all required components, the service member has the
option of being evaluated by the Military Treatment Facility
(MTF); however, the members test would still count, unless the
Unit Commander renders the test invalid. The instruction also
indicates that it is the responsibility of the service member to
maintain year-round physical fitness through self-directed and
unit-based fitness programs and proper nutrition standards;
however, the record reflects the purported medical condition was
attributed to the applicants nutritional choices.
The complete AFPC/DPSIM evaluation, with attachment, is at
Exhibit C.

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant on 21 Jun 13 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. We took
notice of the applicant's complete submission in judging the
merits of the case; however, we agree with the opinion and
recommendation of the Air Force office of primary responsibility
and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion the
applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice.
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.
