 AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-04175 

 

 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

His fitness assessment (FA) score recorded on 6 October 2011 be 
removed from the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS). 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

During the sit-ups portion of his FA he unexpectedly experienced 
acid reflux which restricted his breathing and prohibited him 
from accomplishing the required amount of sit-ups. 

 

He is currently on a medical profile for this condition which 
had already rendered him exempt from the run/walk portion of the 
FA. 

 

He sought medical attention immediately after the test. During 
the evaluation at flight medicine, the doctor determined to add 
sit-ups to his physical profile restrictions. He took the 
profile to the Fitness Assessment Cell to invalidate his test 
but the test was already updated prior to the 5 days allotted to 
provide supporting documents. 

 

In support of his request, the applicant provides a copy of his 
AF Form 469, Duty Limiting Report and AF Form 108, Physical 
Fitness Education and Intervention Processing. 

 

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

contained in the letter prepared by the appropriate office of 
the Air Force at Exhibit B. Accordingly there is no need to 
recite these facts in this Record of Proceedings.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

HQ AFPC/DPSIM recommends the sit-up portion of the fitness 
assessment dated 6 October 2011 be updated to reflect “exempt” 
in the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS), since he 
sought immediate medical attention following the test and his 
existing profile was updated to reflect he was not medically 
cleared for sit-ups. 

 

The complete HQ 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 sit-up portion of 
the fitness assessment dated 6 October 2011 reflect “exempt” in 
the Air Force Fitness Management System. 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 sit-up 
portion of the fitness assessment dated 6 October 2011 be 
amended to reflect “exempt” in the Air Force Fitness Management 
System.
