AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-05779
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her fitness assessment (FA), recorded on 28 November 2012, be
removed from the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS).
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
She had a medical condition that affected her ability to
satisfactorily complete the FA.
In support of her request the applicant submitted copies of her
AF Form 422, Notification of Air Force Members Qualification
Status, AF Form 469, Duty Limiting Report, a memorandum from her
primary care manager, and printout of her AFFMS, Report of
Individual Fitness.
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
*28 Nov 12 38.40 Unsatisfactory
31 May 12 85.90 Satisfactory
13 May 11 93.90 Excellent
23 Nov 10 80.10 Good
5 May 10 79.25 Good
2 Nov 09 85.00 Good
* Contested FA
The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are
contained in the letter prepared by the appropriate office of
the Air Force at Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
1. AFPC/DPSIM recommends partial approval. DPSIM states that
the applicant completed her FA on 28 November 2012, with a
composite score of 38.40, (Unsatisfactory). The applicant had
an AF Form 469, dated the same day as the FA, which exempted her
from all components except the Abdominal Circumference (AC).
For that reason, the applicant should not have been required to
complete the cardio, push-up, and sit-up components of FA. On
the other hand, because her AF Form 469 did not restrict the AC,
there is no authority to remove this component from AFFMS.
Additionally, in accordance with (IAW) AFI 36-2905, Fitness
Program, and Air Force Guidance Memorandum (AFGM) 4, paragraph
4.1, all members will complete an AC assessment as listed
unless exempted by medical provider.
2. They recommend the cardio, push-up, and sit-up components of
the FA dated 28 November 2012, be updated to reflect exempt in
AFFMS. The applicant's overall composite score will reflect
100.00, (Excellent).
The complete AFPC/DPSIM evaluation, with attachment, is at
Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant on 15 March 2013 for review and comment within 30 days
(Exhibit D). To date, a response has not been received.
________________________________________________________________
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 469, Duty
Limiting Report, documenting her limitations and duty exemptions
and the Military Medical Providers assessment is 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.
4. Notwithstanding our determination above, sufficient relevant
evidence has been presented to warrant partial relief. The
Board notes the Air Force office of primary responsibility (OPR)
recommends partial approval based on the determination in the AF
Form 469, Duty Limiting Report, that the applicant should not
have been required to complete the cardio, push-up, and sit-up
components of FA. We agree with the OPRs recommendation that
the contested FA should be corrected to reflect exempt in the
AFFMS. The recommended change will result in an overall
composite fitness score of 100.00, (Excellent). Accordingly, we
recommend the applicants record 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 the cardio,
push-up, and sit-up components of the fitness assessment dated
28 November 2012, be amended to reflect exempt in the Air
Force Fitness Management System.

On 29 Nov 2011, a medical evaluation letter was signed by the same provider who issued the previous AF Form 469s. The letter states, There are medical conditions that preclude this member from achieving a passing score on the Air Force fitness assessment. On 1 Dec 2011, an AF Form 469, Duty Limiting Condition Report, was initiated from his Medical Provider, which could exempt the applicant from the cardio and push-up components of the FA.

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.

On 25 Oct 13 she received an updated AF Form 469, stating that she was exempt from the cardio component of the FA. The applicant's AF Form 469 shows the cardio limitations expired on 23 Sep 13, which would have allowed the applicant to complete the cardio component of the FA. The applicant did not provide an updated AF Form 469 to show the exemption expired on a later date.
