RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-03521
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
1. The sit-up component of his Fitness Assessment (FA) dated
26 Apr 2012 be removed from the Air Force Fitness Management
System (AFFMS).
2. The cardio component of his FA dated 24 Jul 2012, be removed
from the AFFMS.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He had a medical condition that prevented completion of his
26 Apr 2012 FA. He was subsequently diagnosed with an abdominal
muscle strain.
He had a medical issue that prevented completion of his 24 Jul
2012 FA. After an appointment with his primary care manager
(PCM) he was diagnosed with allergic rhinitis.
The applicant's 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).
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 of the applicants request to
exempt the cardio component of his FA dated 24 July 2012. DPSIM
states that on 21 Aug 2012, a memorandum was sent to applicant
requesting additional documentation. Specifically, a copy of his
fitness score sheet for his fitness assessment dated 24 Jul
2012 and a copy of his AF Form 108, Physical Fitness Education
and Intervention Processing, signed by his physician stating
that he had a medical condition precluding the achievement of a
passing fitness score. The member did not provide the requested
documentation.
The complete DPSIM evaluation, with attachment, is at Exhibit B.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 14 Dec 2012, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded
to the applicant for review and comment within 30 days. As of
this date, no response has been received by this office (Exhibit
C).
________________________________________________________________
ADDITIONAL AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
DPSIM recommends the sit-up component of the 26 Apr 2012 FA be
removed from the AFFMS. DPSIM states that it was obvious that
the applicant's abdominal condition prevented him from
successfully completing the sit-up component. The PCM validated
this via placing the applicant on a profile exempting him from
performing the sit-ups. Due to a previous abdominal strain, he
was exempt from the sit-up component of the 24 Jul 2012 FA.
However, there is no evidence the PCM restricted him from
completing the cardio component. Medical documentation provided
by the applicant indicates he was released without limitations.
His overall composite score for the 24 Jul 2012 FA was
30.0 (Unsatisfactory).
The complete DPSIM evaluation is at Exhibit D.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 15 Apr 2013, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded
to the applicant for review and comment within 30 days. As of
this date, no response has been received by this office (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 to warrant
removing the cardio component of his 24 Jul 2012 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 medical evidence provided in support
of his request is noted; however, in the absence of a copy of
his fitness score sheet for his FA dated 24 July 2012 and his AF
Form 108, stating that he had a medical condition precluding the
achievement of a passing fitness score, we find insufficient
evidence to warrant disturbing the record. However, should the
applicant provide such evidence, we would be willing to
reconsider his 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 application.
4. Notwithstanding the above, sufficient relevant evidence has
been presented to demonstrate the existence of error or
injustice regarding the applicants request to remove the sit-up
component of his 26 Apr 2012 FA. In this regard, we agree with
the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force OPR the
rationale as the basis for our conclusion the applicant has been
the victim of an error or injustice to warrant removing the sit-
up component from the 26 Apr 2012 FA. Therefore, we recommend
his records 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 sit-up
component of her FA dated 26 Apr 2012, reflect "exempt" in the
AFFMS.

This logic also concludes a medical condition causing weight gain would cause an increase in AC. She should have never taken the walk test while her dosage was still being adjusted and the FA should be invalidated based on the solid medical evidence presented. While we note the applicant requests the entire FA dated 25 Apr 2012, be removed, the AF Form 422 reflected that she was cleared to test using AC and she has not provided substantial evidence to persuade us otherwise.

Additionally, the PCM states the FA failure/weight gain may have had something to do with insufficient synthroid dose; once again, this does not definitively indicate the failed FA was due to a pre-existing medical condition.
