RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-04252 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NO ________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: His fitness assessment (FA) score recorded on 29 September 2011 be removed from the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS). ________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: He was only supposed to have a waist measurement done for the FA test and not anything else, due to a medical condition. He failed the test because he was unable to perform the walk as quickly as needed due to his medical condition. His AF Form 469, Duty Limiting Condition Report, accomplished before the test, was not accurate and was updated the day after the test. He should not have received a failure due to his medical situation, which he could not control and is currently being treated for. In support of his request, the applicant provides copies of his AF Form 469, current AF Form 422, Notification of Air Force Member’s Qualification Status, and Memorandum for Record from his doctor. The applicant’s 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 Technical Sergeant (TSgt), E-6. ________________________________________________________________ AIR FORCE EVALUATION: AFPC/DPSIM recommends the cardio portion of the fitness assessment dated 29 September 2011 be updated to reflect “exempt” in AFFMS. After reviewing both the old and the new AF Form 469 and current AF Form 422 it was clear that the applicant should have been exempt from both the 1.5 mile run and 1 mile walk portion of the test. The complete AFPC/DPSIM evaluation is at Exhibit B. ________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 9 December 2011 for review and comment within 30 days. 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. Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the existence of error or injustice to warrant partial relief. We took notice of the applicant's 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 that correction of the cardio portion of the fitness assessment dated 29 September 2011 reflect “exempt” in the Air Force Fitness Management System. The applicant’s overall composite fitness score will reflect 79.00, (Satisfactory). Accordingly, we recommend that his records 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 portion of the fitness assessment dated 29 September 2011 be amended to reflect “exempt” in the Air Force Fitness Management System. ________________________________________________________________ The following members of the Board considered this application BC-2011-04252 in Executive Session on 26 April 2012, under the provisions of AFI 36-2603: The following documentary evidence was considered: Exhibit A.
