APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

1. Her FA failures were the result of documented multiple 
medical conditions.

failures, causing her to be ineligible for promotion and her 
line number to be removed.

cycle 10E7 should be reconsidered because a medical provider 
determined that her medical conditions were a contributing 
factor to her 16 November 2010 FA failure. 

 

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

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFPC/DPSIM recommends approval of the applicant’s request to 
have her 16 November 2010, 14 February 2011, 5 January 2012, 
3 April 2012, and 2 July 2012 Fitness Assessments removed from 
the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS) because she had 
documented medical conditions that precluded her from achieving 
passing scores in non-exempt portions of the contested FAs. 

 

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 17 February 2013 for review and comment within 30 
days (Exhibit D). As of this date, no response has been 
received by this 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 with respect 


to the applicant’s requests related to her fitness assessments 
(FA). We took notice of the applicant’s 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 its rationale as the basis for our conclusion the 
applicant’s contested FAs should be declared void and removed 
due to her medical conditions. As for the applicant’s request 
to remove her referral enlisted performance report (EPR) and 
restore the original effective date of her promotion to the 
grade of master sergeant, in view of the fact that we have 
determined the contested FA scores should be removed, and the 
applicant’s FA failure formed the sole basis of the referral EPR 
and promotion deferral, we believe it would be appropriate to 
recommend approval of the applicant’s remaining requests. 
Therefore, we recommend the applicant’s records be corrected as 
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: 

 

 a. Her 16 November 2010, 14 February 2011, 5 January 2012, 
3 April 2012, and 2 July 2012 Fitness Assessments (FA) be 
declared void and removed from the Air Force Fitness Management 
System (AFFMS). 

 

 b. The AF Form 910, Enlisted Performance Report (AB thru 
TSgt), rendered for the period 17 November 2009 through 
16 November 2010, be declared void and removed from her records. 

 

 c. She was promoted to the grade of master sergeant (E-7), 
effective and with a date of rank of 1 December 2010, instead of 
1 August 2012.
