 RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2013-00736
		COUNSEL:  NONE
	XXXXXXX	HEARING DESIRED:  NO

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Her Fitness Assessment (FA), dated 15 Nov 2012, be removed from 
the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS).

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

She knew that she was pregnant since Oct 2012; however, she was 
unaware that she should have been exempt from the FA.

In support of her request, the applicant provides a copy of her 
AF Form 469, Duty Limiting Condition Report.

Her complete submission, with attachment, 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 denial.  DPSIM states that in accordance 
with AFI 36-2905 Air Force Fitness Program, “Members will be 
exempt from the FA during pregnancy.”  The applicant’s AF Form 
469 dated 26 Nov 2013, states in part that she is temporarily 
deferred from the FA for 4.5 months after expiration of the 
profile.  However, she has not provided documentation proving 
she was pregnant during the time the FA was administered.

The complete DPSIM evaluation, with attachment, is at Exhibit B.

________________________________________________________________



APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

On 31 Oct 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.  Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to 
demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice warranting 
relief.  We note that DPSIM recommends denial stating that the 
applicant has not provided documentation that proves she was 
pregnant at the time the FA was administered.  However, we note 
the applicant provides a copy of an AF Form 469, dated 26 Nov 
2012, stating that she was temporary deferred from Air Force 
Fitness Assessments.  Although the FA is dated prior to the AF 
Form 469, due to the close proximity of these dates we find the 
evidence is sufficient to conclude that she was not required to 
perform the contested FA.  Accordingly, we recommend that her 
records be corrected as 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 her FA 
dated 15 Nov 2012, be declared void and removed from the AFFMS.

________________________________________________________________

The following members of the Board considered this application 
in Executive Session on 12 Dec 2013, under the provisions of AFI

    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.

    She states that the MTF failed to initiate an AF Form 469 in a timely manner, and that she was not placed on a FA exemption until Nov 10. SAF/IG also states that “Because these abnormal X-ray results were not communicated to her until Oct 10, almost a year later, she dutifully continued to comply with the muscular plan of care treatments that resulted in an Air Force FA failure for pushups, even with continuing symptoms.” In fact, the applicant achieved a perfect score of 10/10 points on...
