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 applicants 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.

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 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...

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.
