RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-03993
COUNSEL: NO
HEARING DESIRED: NO
__________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His 25 April 2012 Fitness Assessment (FA) score be declared void
and removed from the Air Force Fitness Management System
(AFFMS).
__________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His FA failure was the result of bilateral compartment syndrome
to his left leg.
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 Airman First Class (E-3).
On 25 April 2012, the applicant participated in the contested
FA, attaining a composite score of 18.75, which constituted an
unsatisfactory assessment.
On 8 May 2012, the applicants medical provider indicated on an
AF Form 108, Physical Fitness Education and Intervention
Processing, that he should have been exempt from the cardio
component of the contested FA due to the issue with his leg.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial of the applicants request to
nullify his 25 April 2012 FA score, indicating that his medical
condition should have rendered him exempt from only the cardio
component of his 25 April 2012. In accordance with Air Force
Instruction (AFI) 36-2905, Fitness Program, members are required
to take all components of the FA if they are not provided an AF
Form 422, Physical Profile Serial Report. Since the applicant
should have only been exempt from the cardio component and there
is no further evidence to support removing the other remaining
components, the applicants AFFMS should be changed to reflect
he was exempt from the noted component; however said change will
still result in an overall unsatisfactory score.
A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSIM evaluation is at Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant on 25 January 2013 for review and comment within 30
days. As of this date, no response has been received by this
office (Exhibit D).
________________________________________________________________
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 took notice of the applicants complete
submission in judging the merits of the case and agree with the
opinion and recommendation of the Air Force office of primary
responsibility and adopt their rationale as the basis for our
conclusion the applicant should have been exempt from the cardio
component of the contested FA due to his medical condition.
However, we find no basis to warrant voiding the entire FA.
While we note that said correction will not result in the
applicant receiving an overall passing score, given the evidence
before us, we believe the recommended correction constitutes
full and fitting relief. Therefore, we recommend the
applicants records be corrected to the extent indicated below.
__________________________________________________________
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:
The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air
Force relating to the APPLICANT be corrected to show that he was
exempt from the cardio component of his 25 April 2012 Fitness
Assessment (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. 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.
