RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-01780 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

The fitness assessment (FA) failure he received on 27 Mar 12, be 
invalidated and removed from the Air Force Fitness Management 
System (AFFMS). 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

He injured his back during his 27 Mar 12 physical training (PT) 
test. 

 

In support of his request, the applicant provides copies of a 
memorandum from his squadron commander to the Fitness Assessment 
Cell (FAC), AF Form 469, Duty Limiting Condition Report; AF Form 
422, Notification of Air Force Member’s Qualification Status, and 
copies of extracts from his medical records. 

 

The applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at 
Exhibit A. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

The applicant is currently serving in the Air Force in the grade 
of technical sergeant. 

 

His FA dated 27 Mar 12 reflects a total score of 79.60, which was 
recorded as “Unsatisfactory.” 

 

On 31 Mar 12 a memorandum was sent to the applicant requesting 
additional documentation, specifically, a copy of his AF Form 
108, Physical Fitness Education and Intervention Processing, 
documenting that he had a preexisting condition that contributed 
to his FA failure, and his signed FA score sheet. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial. DPSIM states the applicant was 
asked to provide additional documentation to support his case, 
and he did not respond. 

 


DPSIM states per AFI 36-2905, Fitness Program - Air Force 
Guidance Memorandum 4, Paragraph 10, If an Airman becomes injured 
or ill during the FA and is unable to complete all required 
components, he/she will have the option of being evaluated at the 
Medical Treatment Facility (MTF), but his/her test will still 
count unless rendered invalid by the Unit Commander. For Air 
Reserve Component (ARC), Airmen will have the option of providing 
the ARC Fitness Program Medical Liaison Officer (MLO) with 
medical documentation from their Personal Care Physician to 
include diagnosis, prognosis period and type of physical 
limitations or restrictions. 

 

The applicant injured himself during the test, however, opted to 
complete the test. The AF Form 469 dated 29 Mar 12 and AF Form 
422 dated 3 Apr 12, included in the BCMR package are from when 
the member sought medical attention after the fact. 

 

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

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

On 28 Aug 12, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to 
the applicant for review and comment within 30 days. To date, a 
response has not been received (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 the office of primary responsibility (OPR) 
recommends denial based on the fact the applicant did not provide 
the AF Form 108, documenting that he had a preexisting condition 
that contributed to his failure. However, after thoroughly 
reviewing the applicant’s request, to include the medical 
documentation and the letter of support from his commander, we 
find the evidence presented is sufficient to find it in the 
interest of justice to recommend granting the requested relief. 
Therefore, we recommend his records be corrected as indicated 
below.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT: 

 

The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force 
relating to APPLICANT, be corrected to show that his Fitness 
Assessment (FA), dated 27 Mar 12 be removed from the Air Force 
Fitness Management System (AFFMS).
