RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-00039
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His Fitness Assessment (FA), dated 27 Dec 2012, be removed from
the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS)
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
Due to an administrative error, the correct duty restrictions
were not included on the AF Form 469, Duty Limiting Condition
Report. Therefore, he was required to test on all components.
In support of his request, the applicant provides copies of AF
Forms 469.
His complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The 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 partial approval. DPSIM states that the
applicants AF Form 469 dated 11 May 2012, signed the same day
as the FA in question, exempted him from the cardio component of
the FA. While he was exempt from the cardio component of the
FA, his AF Form 469 did not restrict the other components.
Therefore, there is no authority to remove them from the AFFMS.
Consequently, they recommend the cardio component of the FA
dated 27 Dec 2012, be updated to reflect "exempt" in AFFMS. The
overall composite score will change to reflect
89.50 (Satisfactory).
The complete DPSIM evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit
B.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 19 Sep 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
C).
________________________________________________________________
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 an error or injustice to warrant
removing the entire contested FA. In this respect, we note the
applicant has not provided substantial evidence to invalidate
the results of the entire FA. Therefore, in the absence of
evidence the entire FA is in error or unjust, we find no basis
upon which to recommend favorable consideration of his request
to void the contested FA in its entirety.
4. Notwithstanding the above, sufficient relevant evidence has
been presented to demonstrate the existence of an error or
injustice to warrant partial relief. In this respect, we note
the medical clinic confirmed the AF Form 469 should have
included a running restriction. In view of this and in the
interest of justice, we agree with the opinion and
recommendation the Air Force office of primary responsibility
and adopt the rationale expressed as the basis for our
conclusion that the applicant has been the victim of either an
error or an injustice. Accordingly, we recommend the
applicants records be corrected to the extent set forth 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 cardio
component of his FA dated 27 Dec 2012, reflect "exempt" in the
AFFMS.
