IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-05347
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her fitness assessment (FA) dated 15 April 2012 be removed from the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS).
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
She was released from a medical profile on 14 April 2012, and had a fitness assessment the next day. She received an overall score of 79 points, which is passing, however, her cardio component score was 20.40 which was unsatisfactory. She did not have adequate time for recovery between the time she was released from profile and the time she completed her fitness assessment. Additionally, the duration of her FA was over three hours.
In support of her request the applicant submits copies of her fitness assessment score sheet and AFFMS Individual Fitness Assessment History.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant is a former commissioned officer of Air Force Reserves. Effective 2 June 2013, the applicant was assigned to the Retired Reserve section awaiting pay at age 60 (24 August 2015).
A resume of the applicant's FA results is as follows:
Date Composite Score Rating
3 Jun 12 96.25 Excellent
*15 Apr 12 79.20 Unsatisfactory
8 Dec 10 98.80 Excellent
6 Jun 10 93.50 Excellent
28 Jun 09 100.00 Excellent
19 Apr 08 86.11 Good
* Contested FA
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
1. AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial. DPSIM states that on 15 April 2012, the applicant took an FA and received a composite score of 79.20, an unsatisfactory fitness level, because the applicant did not meet the minimum time for the cardio portion of the FA. Additionally the applicant did not provide an AF Form 422, Physical Profile Serial Report, nor an AF Form 469, Duty Limiting Condition Report.
2. DPSIM further states in accordance with (lAW) AFI 36-2905, Fitness Program, paragraph 4.2.2.3, The expiration date represents the date the member is medically cleared to resume physical activities previously restricted. Members will be eligible for FA 42 days after expiration date of physical limitations, as annotated on AF Form 469. This allows time for reconditioning, if exempted for greater than 30 days. The applicant did not provide the AF Form 422 nor AF Form 469 indicating when she was placed on profile, what her profile restrictions were, or when she was released from her profile. Without this information, they cannot determine if she was eligible for the 42-day reconditioning period.
The complete AFPC/DPSIM evaluation, with attachment, is at Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
In her response the applicant reiterated her contentions that she was tested the day after she came of profile and the duration of the FA was greater than three hours. The applicant submitted a copy a Standard Form 600, Chronological Record of Medical Care, indicating she was released from profile on 14 April 2012, and an email from her commander requesting that her FA be annotated as not valid and be removed.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit E.
________________________________________________________________
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 error or injustice. After a thorough review of the evidence of record and the applicants submission we believe relief is warranted. The Board notes the comments of the Air Force office of primary responsibility, indicating the applicant has failed to sustain her burden of proof by providing medical documentation indicating when she was placed on profile, what her profile restrictions were, or when she was released from her profile. However, we note the applicant submitted a Standard Form 600, Chronological Record of Medical Care, from her medical provider, indicating she was released from profile on 14 April 2012. Therefore, based on the supporting documentation provided, and noting the applicants history of otherwise acceptable fitness levels, we recommend her 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 the Fitness Assessment (FA) dated 15 April 2012, be removed from the Air Force Fitness Management System.
