RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-01585
COUNSEL: NONE
XXXXXXX HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His Fitness Assessment (FA), dated 27 Oct 2011, be removed from
the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS).
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was injured during the FA in question.
In support of his request, the applicant provides copies of his
AF IMT 348, Line of Duty Determination (LOD); Individual Fitness
Assessment History, memorandum from the State Personnel
Superintendent, and various other documents associated with his
request.
His complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 28 Oct 2011, an LOD was initiated stating Injured while
doing sit-ups.
On 2 Nov 2013, the Fitness Assessment Appeals Board (FAAB)
disapproved the applicants request to remove his 27 Oct
2011 FA, from the AFFMS. The basis for their decision was that
the documentation provided does not support timely commanders
invalidation.
The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are
contained in the letter prepared by the appropriate office of
the Air Force. Accordingly, there is no need to recite these
facts in this Record of Proceedings.
________________________________________________________________
THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial. DPSIM states that in accordance
with AFI 36-2905, Air Force Fitness Program, "If an Airman
becomes injured or ill during the FA and is unable to complete
all required components, he/she will have the option of being
evaluated at the Medical Treatment Facility but his/her test
will still count unless rendered invalid by the Unit Commander."
In this case, the applicant was able to complete the medical
evaluation; however, did not provide documentation from the Unit
Commander indicating his/her decision to invalidate the FA.
Paragraph 13 also states that, "The Airman should notify his/her
Commander in a timely manner regarding the injury/illness to
ensure communication regarding test validity with the Military
Treatment Facility and Fitness Assessment Cell staff occurs
prior to score entry into AFFMS," which the applicant failed to
accomplish. Furthermore, the LOD provided by the applicant does
not provide any information that includes diagnosis, prognosis
period and type of physical limitations or restrictions, and
does not replace the AF Form 422, Physical Profile Serial
Report.
The complete DPSIM evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit
B.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
In further support of his request the applicant provides copies
of LODs and other documents associated with his appeal.
His 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. Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to
demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice warranting
relief. We note DPSIM recommends denial stating the applicant
has not provided validation from his commander to remove the FA
in question. However, he has provided medical documents that
reflect he aggravated a previous LOD injury while performing the
sit-ups component of the FA. He also provided a witness
statement from a certified registered nurse that corroborates
his injury. Therefore, in view of the above, we find the
evidence presented is sufficient to recommend the applicants
records be corrected as 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 his FA
dated 27 Oct 2011, be declared void and removed from the AFFMS.
