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 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 (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
applicants submission we believe relief is warranted. Based on
the supporting documentation provided, we find the applicants
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 applicants FA, the applicants 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.
