RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-05042
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
1. Her 11 Aug 11 Fitness Assessment (FA) score be declared void
and removed from the Air Force Fitness Management System
(AFFMS).
2. Her referral Enlisted Performance Report (EPR), rendered for
the period 16 Aug 10 through 15 Aug 11, be corrected or removed
from her records.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
She should have been exempt from the sit-up portion of the
contested FA. She failed the FA test due to not meeting the
minimum requirements in the sit-up component. Subsequently, it
was discovered that she had not healed correctly from a C-
Section received during the birth of her daughter. Her PCM
signed an AF Form 108 officially stating that she had a prior
condition that prevented her from passing the Fitness Assessment
(FA). She was placed in physical therapy and placed on a
profile. However, her EPR closed out before she could retest
and the 4 rating was given solely on the basis of failing her PT
test. She has since retested and passed with the sit-up
component exempt due to her condition.
In support of her request, she provides her AF Forms 422,
Notification of Air Force Members Qualification Status, AFFMS
document reflecting her individual test history, the contested
EPR and her rebuttal thereto, and her PCM evaluation dated 15
Nov 11.
The applicants 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 staff sergeant (E-5).
On 11 Aug 11, the applicant failed the contested FA, attaining a
score of 82.89, which constitutes an unsatisfactory rating.
On 24 Aug 11, the contested EPR was referred to the applicant
for a rating of Does not meet standards and comments related
to her failure to meet Air Force fitness standards. The
applicant submitted a rebuttal the same day. On 29 Sep 11, the
contested EPR was rendered upon the applicant.
On 28 Sep 11, an AF Form 422, Notification of Air Force Members
Qualification Status, was issued exempting her from the sit-up,
push-up, and 1 mile walk portions of the FA.
On 24 Oct 11, the applicant participated in another FA and was
exempt from the push-up and sit-up portions and received an
overall excellent score.
On 15 Nov 11, the applicants primary care manager (PCM)
identified the applicant had a medical condition precluding the
achievement of a passing fitness score.
The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are
contained in the letters prepared by the appropriate office of
the Air Force, which are attached at Exhibit C and D.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSID recommends the AFBCMR approve the applicants request
to void the contested report. This is contingent upon the
AFBCMR approval to exempt the applicant from the cardio and sit-
up portion of the FA, resulting re-calculated passing score to
be updated in AFFMS.
A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSID evaluation is at Exhibit C.
AFPC/DPSIM recommends partial approval, indicating the
applicants record should be corrected to reflect that she was
exempt from the cardio and sit-up portions of the 11 Aug 11
FA, which would result in an overall composite score of 100.00
(Excellent).
A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSIM evaluation is at Exhibit D.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant on 12 Mar 12 for review and comment within 30 days.
As of this date, no response has been received by this office
(Exhibit E).
________________________________________________________________
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. The member
is requesting her FA, dated 11 Aug 11, be removed/cleared from
the AFFMS and her referral EPR, rendered for the period 16
Aug 10 through 15 Aug 11, be corrected or removed from her
records. AFPC/DPSIM recommends applicant record be corrected to
reflect she was exempt from the cardio and sit-up portions of
the 11 Aug 11 FA, resulting in a score of excellent. AFPC/DPSID
recommends the contested EPR be voided as long as the
recalculated score is passing. Based on our review if the
evidence of record, we concur with the relief as recommended by
the Air Force offices of primary responsibility. Therefore, we
recommend the applicants record 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:
1. Her Fitness Assessment (FA), dated 11 Aug 11, be corrected
to reflect she was exempt from the cardio and sit-up
components, resulting in an overall score rating of
excellent.
2. Her referral enlisted performance report (EPR), rendered for
the period 16 Aug 10 through 15 Aug 11, be declared void and
removed from her records.

If she had been on the correct profile when she completed the June 2011 FA, she would have passed the FA with a 75.5 score and would not have received the referral EPR.
