RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-00736 COUNSEL: NONE XXXXXXX HEARING DESIRED: NO ________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: Her Fitness Assessment (FA), dated 15 Nov 2012, be removed from the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS). ________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: She knew that she was pregnant since Oct 2012; however, she was unaware that she should have been exempt from the FA. In support of her request, the applicant provides a copy of her AF Form 469, Duty Limiting Condition Report. Her complete submission, with attachment, is at Exhibit A. ________________________________________________________________ STATEMENT OF FACTS: The relevant facts pertaining to this application are contained in the letter prepared by the appropriate office of the Air Force. Accordingly, there is no need to recite these facts in this Record of Proceedings. ________________________________________________________________ THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION: AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial. DPSIM states that in accordance with AFI 36-2905 Air Force Fitness Program, “Members will be exempt from the FA during pregnancy.” The applicant’s AF Form 469 dated 26 Nov 2013, states in part that she is temporarily deferred from the FA for 4.5 months after expiration of the profile. However, she has not provided documentation proving she was pregnant during the time the FA was administered. The complete DPSIM evaluation, with attachment, is at Exhibit B. ________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION: On 31 Oct 2013, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant for review and comment within 30 days. As of this date, no response has been received by this office (Exhibit C). ________________________________________________________________ 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 warranting relief. We note that DPSIM recommends denial stating that the applicant has not provided documentation that proves she was pregnant at the time the FA was administered. However, we note the applicant provides a copy of an AF Form 469, dated 26 Nov 2012, stating that she was temporary deferred from Air Force Fitness Assessments. Although the FA is dated prior to the AF Form 469, due to the close proximity of these dates we find the evidence is sufficient to conclude that she was not required to perform the contested FA. Accordingly, we recommend that her records be corrected as set forth 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 FA dated 15 Nov 2012, be declared void and removed from the AFFMS. ________________________________________________________________ The following members of the Board considered this application in Executive Session on 12 Dec 2013, under the provisions of AFI 36-2603: , Panel Chair , Member , Member All members voted to correct the record as recommended.
