RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

 AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-03460 

 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 

 HEARING DESIRED: YES 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

His fitness assessment (FA) score dated 22 March 2012 be removed 
from the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS). 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

The FA should have never taken place due to the fact that he had 
a medical issue which caused him to fail the heart rate portion 
of the assessment. On the day of the FA, his AF Form 469, Duty 
Limiting Condition Report, did not express the full extent of 
his duty limitations. The omission of his restriction for the 
1-mile walk on the AF Form 469 led him to the Health and 
Wellness Center (HAWC) doctor. After the FA he had a medical 
review and received an updated AF Form 469. 

 

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 Staff Sergeant, E-5.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial. DPSIM states on 14 August 2012, a 
memorandum was sent to the applicant requesting additional 
documentation be submitted, within 30 days, to substantiate his 
claim (Exhibit C). Specifically, a copy of his updated AF Form 
422, Notification of Air Force Member’s Qualification Status, 
exempting him from the 1-mile walk. 

 

DPSIM further states the applicant provided an AF Form 469 dated 
27 March 2012 which stated; no walking farther than 0.25 miles, 
and no high impact activities to include no running and jumping. 
Per AFI 36-2905, Fitness Program, abdominal circumference (AC) 



will be performed on all members, unless exempted by medical 
provider. If all components except the AC were exempt, for the 
FA in question, the applicant would still receive an overall 
“unsatisfactory” score (67.60). 

 

The complete AFPC/DPSIM evaluation, with attachments, is at 
Exhibit D.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the 
applicant on 6 November 2012 for review and comment within 
30 days (Exhibit E). To date, a response has not been received.

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 error or injustice. After 
thoroughly reviewing the evidence of record and noting the 
applicant's contentions, we are not persuaded the contested FA 
is in error or unjust. The AF Form 469 Duty Limiting Condition 
Report, documenting his physical limitations and restrictions is 
noted; however, we also note that the evidence of record 
indicates the applicant’s unsatisfactory FA score was the result 
of his AC measurement and even if all components except the AC 
were exempt, he would still receive an overall unsatisfactory 
score. Therefore, we agree with the opinion and recommendation 
of the Air Force office of primary responsibility and adopt its 
rationale as the basis for our decision that the applicant has 
not suffered either an error or injustice. Therefore, in the 
absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no basis to 
recommend granting the relief sought in this application. 

 

4. The applicant's case is adequately documented and it has not 
been shown that a personal appearance with or without counsel 
will materially add to our understanding of the issue(s) 
involved. Therefore, the request for a hearing is not favorably 
considered.

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT: 

 

The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not 
demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; that 
the application was denied without a personal appearance; and 
that the application will only be reconsidered upon the 
submission of newly discovered relevant evidence not considered 
with this application.
