RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2010-03342 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: YES _________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: His Enlisted Performance Report (EPR), rendered for the period 10 June 2009 through 9 June 2010 be declared void and removed from his records, and replaced with an AF Form 77, (Letter of Evaluation). _________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: His EPR states he failed to meet the waist standard and cardio portions. In support of his request, the applicant provides a copy of his AF Form 911, Enlisted Performance Report (MSgt thru CMSgt), a copy of his referral package, and a copy of AF Form 469, Duty Limiting Condition Report. His 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 master sergeant (E-7). Additional relevant facts pertaining to this application are contained in the letters prepared by the appropriate offices of the Air Force. Accordingly, there is no need to recite these facts in this Record of Proceedings. _________________________________________________________________ AIR FORCE EVALUATION: AFPC/DPSID recommends denial. DPSID states they contacted the applicant and asked him to provide additional information; however, he did not respond. He provided the AF Form 469 and a memorandum from his medical provider stating that he is not medically cleared for the 1.5 mile run, push-ups, crunches, and unit PT. The applicant did not file an appeal through the Evaluation Reports Appeals Board (ERAB); however, the ERAB reviewed his application and was not convinced the contested report was inaccurate or unjust. However, there are some errors in the report since it states the applicant was exempt from the cardio portion of the test; nevertheless, he still failed to meet the waist standard. As such, the report should be administratively corrected, rather than voided. DPSID recommends changing Section III, Block 3 of the report from “Failed to meet waist std and cardio portions, push-up/sit-up exemptions” to “Failed to meet minimum standards.” Additionally, the comments on the referral memorandum should be changed from “failed to meet abdominal circumference standard and cardio component” to “failed to meet abdominal circumference” and give the applicant another chance to rebut the referred EPR. The DPSID complete evaluation is at Exhibit B. HQ USAF/A1PP recommends denial and agrees with DPSID’s assessment the report should be administratively corrected, rather than voided in its entirety in accordance with the governing instructions. The complete HQ USAF/A1PP evaluation is at Exhibit C. _________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 8 Apr 11 for review and comment within 30 days. As of this date, this office has received no response. _________________________________________________________________ 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 warranting a measure of relief. In this respect, after a thorough review of the evidence of record and the applicant's submission, we agree with the recommendations of the Air Force offices of primary responsibility and adopt the rationale expressed as the basis for our determination the report should be administratively corrected rather than removed in its entirety from the applicant’s record. Therefore, we recommend the applicant’s record 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 that: a. The Senior Enlisted Performance Report (MSgt through CMSgt), AF Form 911, rendered for the period 10 June 2009 through 9 June 2010, be amended in Section III, Fitness, to read “Failed to meet minimum standards,” rather than “Failed to meet waist std and cardio portions, push-up/sit-up exemptions.” b. The 96 LRS/LGRMSP referral memorandum, dated 23 June 2010, be amended to reflect “failed to meet abdominal circumference,” rather than “failed to meet abdominal circumference standard and cardio component.” ______________________________________________________________ The following members of the Board considered AFBCMR Docket Number BC-2010-03342 in Executive Session on 26 May 11, under the provisions of AFI 36-2603: , Panel Chair , Member , Member All members voted to correct the records, as recommended.
