On 26 July 2012, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded
to the applicant for review and response within 30 days (Exhibit

office.
_________________________________________________________________
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
partial relief. We believe the documentation provided by the
applicant provides a reasonable basis to conclude the applicant
should have been “exempt” from performing the cardio portion of
the FA test. Therefore, we agree with the opinion and
recommendation of the Air Force office of primary responsibility
and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion that only
the cardio component of his FA test be corrected. Therefore, we
recommend that 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 cardio
component of the Fitness Assessment dated 26 April 2012 be
amended to reflect “exempt” in the Air Force Fitness Management
System.
