________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

His 26 June 2012 fitness assessment (FA) score be removed from 
the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS). 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

He was not given the requisite 42 days for reconditioning after 
his profile expired. 

 

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 (SSgt/E-5). 

 

On 13 March 2012, the applicant was issued an AF Form 469, Duty 
Limiting Condition Report, which prohibited him from repetitive 
bending at the waist and running greater than 100 yards. This 
profile was set to expire on 29 May 2012. 

 

In accordance with the Air Force General Guidance Memorandum 
(AFGM) 5, Airmen with an AF Form 422, Notification of Air Force Member’s Qualification Status, must maintain current FA 
standards. If the service member is due to test during the 
AF Form 422 effective dates or 42-day reconditioning period, 
they will complete the FA components that they are cleared to 
test on per the AF Form 422. 

 

Under the provisions of AFI 36-2905, Fitness Program, the 
expiration date on the AF Form 422 reflects the date the service 
member is medically cleared to resume physical activities 
previously restricted. The service members will be eligible for 
the FA 42 days after the expiration date of physical 
limitations, as annotated on AF Form 469. This allows time for 
reconditioning, if exempted for greater than 30 days. 

 



On 26 Jun 12, the applicant participated in the contested 
Fitness Assessment and was required to earn an overall composite 
score of 75 or greater. He received an overall score of 68.30, 
which constituted an overall unsatisfactory score. 

 

On 20 September 2012, AFPC/DPSIM requested the applicant provide 
additional documentation to substantiate his claim; specifically, 
his AF Form 422, Physical Profile Serial Report, signed fitness 
score sheets, and questionnaire. 

 

The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are 
contained in the letter prepared by the appropriate office of 
the Air Force, which is attached at Exhibit C.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial, indicating there is no evidence of 
an error or injustice. Service members who were prohibited from 
physical activity for 30 days or more and have been medically 
cleared to resume physical activity are eligible for a 42-day 
reconditioning period after the expiration date of their duty 
limiting profile. The applicant failed to respond to the 
request for an AF Form 422 to validate the effective dates or 
the 42-day reconditioning period for the fitness components he 
was cleared to test on. 

 

A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSIM evaluation, with attachment, 
is at Exhibit C.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the 
applicant on 25 January 2013, 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 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 
(OPR) and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion 
the applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice. 
We note the Air Force OPR requested additional documentation 
from the applicant to help validate the merits of his claim; 
however, he failed to respond. Therefore, in the absence of 
evidence to the contrary, we find no basis to recommend granting 
the relief sought in this application. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

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.
