other portions of the test.
His complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.

STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant’s AF Form 469, Duty Limiting Condition Report,
reflects that he was not to push/pull greater than 5 pounds; not

effort running was allowed.
The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIM recommends approval. They state the applicant
provided a copy of his AF Form 469, which states his release date
was 1 Feb 12. The instructions state, “The expiration date
represents the date the member is medically cleared to resume
physical activities previously restricted. Members will be
eligible for FA 42 days after the expiration date of physical
limitations, as annotated on AF Form 469. This allows time for
reconditioning, if exempted for greater than 30 days.” In this
case, the applicant should not have been tested prior to 13 Mar
12.
The complete 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 17 Sep 12 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
corrective action. Based on the assessment and recommendation
provided by AFPC/DPSIM, it appears the applicant was not
medically cleared for fitness assessment on 27 Feb 12 and as
such, it should be removed from his records. Therefore, we
recommend the 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 the Fitness
Assessment score, dated 27 February 2012, be declared void and
removed from the Air Force Fitness Management System.
