RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-03457
XXXXXXXXXX COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His Fitness Assessment (FA) dated 28 Feb 12, be removed from his
record in the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS).
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He had a medical condition which prevented him from passing his
FA. His Abdominal Circumference (AC) was measured around his
abdomen over the top of his supra-hernia which increased his AC.
His first AC measurement was 39.5 and the second was 40. He was
informed that based on his measurements he would not pass his FA.
He explained to the test monitor the reason for the increase in
size of his AC was due to his supra-hernia to no avail. He did
not complete his FA and called his primary care physicians office
to have his supra-hernia examined and verified.
In support of his request, the applicant provides copies of a
Report of Individual FA History and a memorandum from his
physician stating he has a supra-umbilical hernia.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 1 Oct 14, the applicants name was placed on the Air Force
Reserve Retired list.
The following is a summary of the applicants AC scores:
Date AC Score Composite Score Fitness Level
2/25/2014 38.50 87.80 Satisfactory
6/4/2013 39.00 86.90 Satisfactory
5/1/2012 37.50 90.50 Not Indicated
2/28/2012 39.50 11.70 Unsatisfactory
8/12/2011 39.00 83.60 Satisfactory
3/1/2011 39.00 77.80 Satisfactory
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial. The applicant did not provide a
fitness screening questionnaire or any other medical documentation
to show that he should not have been tested or been exempt from
the waist measurement. The AF Form 422, Physical Profile and/or
the AF Form 469, Duty Limiting Condition Report would have
indicated the applicants limitations for his 28 Feb 12, FA. In
addition, the memorandum the applicant provided is dated two years
after the FA was conducted and does not state the medical
condition affected his 2012 FA.
In accordance with AFI 36-2905, Fitness Program, the provider
will specify the length of time required for physical
limitations. While the applicant submitted a memorandum from the
medical provider, it did not state the medical conditions
contributed to his failed FA. If the medical evaluation
validates the illness/injury and provides supporting medical
documentation, the unit commander may invalidate the FA results by
notifying the Fitness Assessment Cell (FAC) in writing. If the FA
is invalidated, the airmen will be required to retest on all non-
exempt FA components within five duty days from original FA test
date. If an AF Form 422 is required, an additional five duty days
will be allowed for the AF Form 422 to be generated and provided.
The applicant did not provide a medical validation or commander
invalidation memorandum for the failed assessment.
The complete DPSIM evaluation is at Exhibit C.
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant
on 18 Jun 15, for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit D).
As of this date, no response has been received by this office.
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. We took
notice of the applicants complete submission in judging the
merits of the case; however, we agree with the opinion and
recommendation of the Air Force office of primary responsibility
(OPR) and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion the
applicant has not been the victim of an error of injustice.
Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no
basis to recommend granting the requested relief.
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; the
application was denied without a personal appearance; and the
application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of newly
discovered relevant evidence not considered with this application.
