AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-03320 

 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

1. His 3 Aug 11 and 22 Feb 12 Fitness Assessments (FA) be 
declared void and removed from the Air Force Fitness Management 
System (AFFMS). 

 

2. His Enlisted Performance Reports (EPR), rendered for the 
reporting periods of 10 May 11 through 29 Mar 12 and 10 May 10 
through 9 May 11, be declared void and removed from his military 
personnel record. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

The medical condition that prevented him from doing the sit-up 
portion of the Air Force FA was not discovered until after his 
fourth failure and recommendation for discharge. Since then, he 
has been evaluated and provided documentation indicating he was 
not properly accommodated for this portion of the FA. His 
commander has since dropped his recommendation for discharge. 
Had he not had to do the sit-up portion of the FA, he would have 
passed and would not have been recommended for discharge. 

 

The contested referral EPRs rendered were unjust due to a pre-
existing medical issue that prevented him from passing the FA 
evaluations during the timeframes of his evaluation perods. 

 

The applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at 
Exhibit A.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFPC/DPSIM recommends the record be changed to reflect the 
applicant was exempt from the situp component of the contested 
FA, noting the applicant provided an AF Form 422, Notification 
of Air Force Member’s Qualification Status, reflecting 
exemptions from both the cardio and situp components. 

 

A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSIM evaluation, is at Exhibit C. 

 

AFPC/DPSID recommends approval of the request to void the 29 Mar 
12 EPR, contingent upon the Board’s approval to exempt/correct 
the 22 Feb 12 FA failure in AFFMS. Additionally, they indicated 
it is unclear if the medical condition was retroactive and had 
impact on any other evaluation. There appears to be no basis 
for addressing removal of any other reports. 

 

A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSID evaluation is at Exhibit D. 

 

APPLICANT’S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the 
applicant on 1 Jan 13 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 with respect 
to the applicant’s request pertaining to his 22 Feb 12 Fitness 
Assessment (FA) score and his referral Enlisted Performance 
Report (EPR) closing on 29 Mar 12. In this respect, we agree 
with the opinion and recommendation of AFPC/DPSIM and adopt 
their rationale as the basis for our conclusion the applicant’s 
medical condition should have rendered him exempt from the 
cardio and sit-up components of his 22 Feb 12 FA. Therefore, we 
believe it appropriate to correct the record to reflect said 
exemptions and remove the resultant referral EPR, since it was 
based on the FA failure. We note the applicant has requested 
that the contested FA score be removed in its entirety; however, 
in our view, the corrections noted above represent full and 
fitting relief. In view of the above, we recommend the 
applicant’s records be corrected to the extent indicated below. 

 

4. Notwithstanding the above, insufficient relevant evidence 
has been presented to demonstrate the existence of an error or 
injustice with respect to the applicant’s request pertaining to 
his 3 Aug 11 FA score and resultant referral EPR closing on 9 
May 11. In this respect, we note the comments of the Air Force 
OPRs indicating that while the evidence presented indicates the 
corrective action described above should be taken, the 
documentation provided does not substantiate that his 3 Aug 11 
FA is an inaccurate assessment of the applicant’s fitness. 
Based on the foregoing and in the absence of evidence the 
contested EPR is an inaccurate assessment of his performance, we 
find no basis to remove it from his records.

Force relating to the APPLICANT be corrected to show that:

 b. His referral enlisted performance report (EPR),
