                       RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2012-02801

		COUNSEL:  NONE

		HEARING DESIRED: NO

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

1.  Her fitness assessment (FA), dated 8 June 2011, be corrected 
to show a passing score in the Air Force Fitness Management 
System (AFFMS).  

2.  Her referral Enlisted Performance Report (EPR) for the 
period ending 16 November 2011, be removed from her records.

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

1.  On 24 April 2012, she faced a discharge board for four 
failed fitness assessments.  The board decided that she did not 
fail the FA dated 8 June 2011, due to her being misdiagnosed, 
and therefore, put on the wrong profile.  She was made to 
complete the cardio component of the FA and had a 74.3 score.  
Seven months later, she was diagnosed with a medical condition 
that would have made her exempt from the cardio component of the 
FA.  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.  With the referral 
EPR removed from her records she will be able to test for 
promotion for the first time in three years.  

2.  In support of her request, the applicant submits copies of 
Administrative Separation Board proceedings, her contested 
referral EPR, and her Report of Individual Fitness. 

The applicant’s 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 (SSgt), E-5.  

________________________________________________________________


AIR FORCE EVALUATIONS:

AFPC/DPSIM recommends granting the relief sought to exempt the 
cardio component of the FA dated 8 June 2011.  DPSIM states that 
the administrative separation board found the applicant did not 
fail the contested FA; according to calculations, her score 
would reflect 75.5 (satisfactory) had she been exempt from the 
cardio component.  

The complete AFPC/DPSIM evaluation, with attachments, is at 
Exhibit C.  

AFPC/DPSID recommends approval.  DPSID states that based on the 
AFPC/DPSIM advisory to grant the relief sought to exempt the 
cardio component of the FA dated 8 June 2011, they contend that 
the fitness assessment failure is an inappropriate comment on 
the contested referral EPR, and as a result, the referral EPR 
should be removed from her record.  

The complete AFPC/DPSID evaluation is at Exhibit D.  

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATIONS:

Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the 
applicant on 25 April 2013 for review and comment within 30 days 
(Exhibit E).  To date, a response has not been received.  

________________________________________________________________

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 injustice to warrant relief.  
After a thorough review of the evidence of record and the 
applicant’s submission we believe relief is warranted.  Based on 
the supporting documentation provided, we find the applicant’s 
medical condition had a direct impact on her ability to pass the 
referenced fitness assessment (FA) and therefore agree with the 
Air Force office of primary responsibility that the cardio 
portion of the FA dated 8 June 2011, should be corrected to 
reflect “exempt” in the Air Force Fitness Management System 
(AFFMS).  Since we have favorably considered the correction to 
the applicant’s FA, the applicant’s contested EPR should be 
removed.  Accordingly, 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:  

	a.  The cardio component of the fitness assessments dated 
8 June 2011, be amended to reflect “exempt” in the Air Force 
Fitness Management System (AFFMS).  

	b.  The AF Form 910, Enlisted Performance Report (AB thru 
TSgt), rendered for the period 4 January 2011 through 
16 November 2011, be declared void and removed from her record.
