RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-05716
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His fitness assessment (FA) dated 28 August 2012 be removed from
the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS).
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
Based on a documented medical condition his FA should have been
exempt.
In support of his request, the applicant provides copies of a
Memorandum for Medical Evaluation dated 17 September 2012, from
his commander and medical provider and his AF Form 108, Physical
Fitness Education and Intervention Processing.
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 (SSgt), E-5.
A resume of the applicant's FA results is as follows:
Date Composite Score Rating
1 Mar 13 80.50 Satisfactory
30 Jan 13 80.50 Satisfactory
1 Nov 12 Exempt Exempt
*28 Aug 12 73.50 Unsatisfactory
20 Dec 11 77.70 Satisfactory
17 Oct 11 72.40 Unsatisfactory
* Contested FA
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial. DPSIM states that prior to the FA
the applicant had a medical evaluation where it was determined
he should be exempt from the cardio component of the FA.
Accordingly, this exemption was updated in AFFMS. Beyond the
cardio exemption, there is no evidence that the applicant
should have been exempt from any other component. They noted
the applicants medical evaluation, documented on a memorandum
from his commander and medical provider and an AF Form 108,
indicated the applicant had a medical condition which precluded
him from passing the assessment. However, the applicant did
not provide sufficient evidence to determine any limiting
factors beyond the cardio exemption. Furthermore, in accordance
with (IAW) AFI 36-2905, Fitness Program, and Air Force Guidance
Memorandum (AFGM) 4, paragraph 10, 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 (MTF) but his/her test will still
count unless rendered not valid by the Unit Commander. The
applicant was already exempt from the cardio portion of his FA.
The medical evaluation he received following the FA validated
this exemption, however, there is no evidence that indicates the
commander elected to invalidate the FA.
The complete AFPC/DPSIM evaluation, with attachment, is at
Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
In his response the applicant states that after receiving the
Air Force advisory opinion it was clear that he did not provide
the supporting medical documents, therefore he submits a copy of
his Standard Form 600, Chronological Record of Medical Care,
dated 30 August 2012.
The applicants complete response, with attachment, 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. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to
demonstrate the existence of error or injustice with respect to
the applicants request for removal of the entire contested FA.
After thoroughly reviewing the evidence of record and noting the
applicant's contentions, we are not persuaded the entire
contested FA is in error or unjust. The AF Form 108, Physical
Fitness Education and Intervention Processing, and the Military
Medical Providers assessment documenting his limitations and
exemptions are noted; however, in the absence of documentation
indicating the applicant should have been exempt from completing
the FA, we find insufficient evidence to warrant removal of the
entire FA. The Board notes the Air Force office of primary
responsibility recommends denial because the applicant did not
provide sufficient evidence to determine any limiting factors
beyond the cardio exemption. However, based on the medical
providers assessment, we are persuaded the push-ups and sit-ups
components of the contested FA should be corrected to reflect
exempt in the AFFMS. Notwithstanding our determination, we
note that an exemption of these components would not change the
applicant's unsatisfactory "fitness level," however, it will
change his overall score in AFFMS to one that is lower than his
current score, which is a detrimental action against the
applicant. For this reason we find no basis to recommend
granting the relief sought in this application.
________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; that
the application was denied without a personal appearance; and
that the application will only be reconsidered upon the
submission of newly discovered relevant evidence not considered
with this application.
