Her Fitness Assessment (FA) dated 1 September 2011 be removed 
from her records.

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

Her FA failure was due to a medical condition. 

 

During the contested time period, her medical records were in 
Personal Reliability Program review for a new assignment. The 
losing hospital informed her to wait until she completed the 
Permanent Change of Station (PCS) to pursue the matter further. 
After arriving at the new base and getting settled, she was able 
to pursue medical attention and was diagnosed with patellofemoral 
syndrome and marrow conversion in her right knee. 

 

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

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial. DPSIM states that on 25 July 2012, 
a memorandum was sent to the applicant requesting additional 
documentation - specifically, her AF Form 108, Physical Fitness 
Education and Intervention Processing. The applicant did not 
provide the requested documentation. She did provide AF Forms 
469, dated 6 June 2012 and 2 December 2012. IAW AFI 36-2905, 
4.2.4, PCS Moves - exemptions are not granted for members in 
outbound status. Members pending PCS must have a current FA 
score on file that will not expire prior to the Report-No-Later-
Than-Date (RNLTD) at the next duty location. If the score 
expires prior to the RNLTD at the next duty location, a member 
must be scheduled for a FA before their departure. A member in 
inbound status is given 42 days from his/her Date Arrive Station 
(DAS) date to acclimatize before assessment. The applicant did 
not seek immediate attention to get placed on a profile or seen 
by her PCM after arriving at her new duty location. 

 

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

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

She was requested to provide additional documentation in support 
of her request; however, during that time she was in training and 
unable to provide the requested documentation. She has since 
been trying to obtain the documentation but was only able to 
retrieve the test form. 

 

The applicant’s complete response, with attachments, is at 
Exhibit D. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

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 injustice. After a thorough 
review of the evidence provided by the applicant, to include the 
supporting statement from her commander, we believe the FA should 
be removed from her records. In this respect, we note the 
applicant experienced knee pain during the cardio component of 
the FA preventing her from performing to her actual fitness 
level. She was subsequently determined to have duty and mobility 
restrictions until 15 January 2012. Her current commander has 
provided a supporting statement, indicating that without proper 


medical treatment available to her immediately following the FA, 
combined with her change of duty station and mandatory job 
training, she was unable to attain a proper diagnosis or take the 
necessary steps to have the FA removed in a timely manner. 
Therefore, in view of the above and noting her otherwise record 
of successful FA, we recommend her 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 her Fitness 
Assessment, dated 1 September 2011, be removed from the Air Force 
Fitness Management System (AFFMS).
