RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2013-04877
		COUNSEL:  NONE
		HEARING DESIRED: NO


APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

The Fitness Assessments (FAs) dated 9 March 2013 and 8 June 2013 be removed from the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS).


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

She had a pre-existing condition which precluded her from passing the FAs.

In support of the applicant’s appeal, she provides AF Form 469, Duty Limiting Condition Report, a memo from the medical provider 
and other documentation.

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 airman first class.

The applicant’s last five FA scores are as follows:

		COMPOSITE
	DATE	SCORE		RATING

	25 June 2012	82.80		SATISFACTORY
	 8 December 2012	68.60		UNSATISFACTORY
*	 9 March 2013	74.90		UNSATISFACTORY
*	 8 June 2013	69.80		UNSATISFACTORY
	15 September 2013	80.00		SATISFACTORY

*Contested FA scores



On 20 February 2014, the Fitness Assessment Appeals Board (FAAB) 
considered and denied the applicant’s request to remove the FAs 
dated 9 March 2013 and 8 June 2013 from the AFFMS.


AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial.  DPSIM states IAW AFI 36-2905, 
Paragraph 4.2.2 “Providers will list physical limitations on the 
AF Form 469.  When physical limitations preclude the member from 
participating in fitness activities for greater than 30 days 
and/or accomplishing the FA, the member will follow local policy 
to obtain an exercise prescription and determination of FA 
exemption from the EP/FPM. Unless member is given a composite 
exemption, member will continue to prepare for and be assessed 
on non-exempt components of the FA.”  Paragraph 4.2.2.2 – “The 
provider will specify the length of time required for physical 
limitations.”  While the applicant provided a statement signed 
by the medical provider stating that she had a documented 
medical condition, there was no evidence that specifically 
listed what the applicant's limitations were for each fitness 
assessment.  The applicant's AF Form 469 is dated 10 August 
2013 and expired on 14 September 2013.  The profile limits the 
ability to being able to run more than 100 yards, no bending, no 
pushing or pulling.  After a thorough review of the 
documentation provided by the applicant, there is insufficient 
evidence to support the claim.

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


APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

On 13 June 2014, a copy of the evaluation was forwarded to the applicant for review and response within 30 days (Exhibit C).  
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 an error or injustice.  After a 
thorough review of the evidence of record and the documentation provided by the applicant, we believe a reasonable basis exist 
to conclude that the applicant should have been “exempt” from performing all components of the contested FAs.  In this 
respect, we note the medical provider indicated that a medical condition precluded her from achieving a passing FA score on the 
contested FAs.  Given the applicant’s medical condition and the documentation provided, we find the evidence supports favorable 
consideration of this request.  Therefore, we recommend the applicant’s records be corrected as indicated below.


THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:

The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force relating to the APPLICANT, be corrected to show that the 
Fitness Assessments (FAs) dated 9 March 2013 and 8 June 2013, be declared void and removed from the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS).
