HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
_
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His Fitness Assessment dated 20 Sep 12 be removed from the Air
Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS).
________________________________________________________________
_
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was placed on a medicated inhaler to treat his Bronchitis,
which elevated his heart rate. He was evaluated by the medical
center at his base and was informed that the medication
contributed to him failing the aerobic component of the FA test.
His commander and physician provide letters of support that
indicate his walk test may have been invalid due to this
medication.
His complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.

20 Dec 11 UNSATISFACTORY

27 Sep 12 SATISFACTORY
* Contested FA test.
The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIM recommends partial approval. They recommend the
applicants cardio component of the FA test in question be
updated to reflect exempt in the AFFMS. He provides the AF
Form 422, Notification of Air Force Members Qualification
Status, which exempted him from the 1.5 mile run and 1 mile
walk. The applicants overall composite score will change to
reflect 69.25 (UNSATSIFACTORY).
The complete DPSIM evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit
C.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant on 29 Oct 12 for review and comment within 30 days.
As of this date, this office has received no response.

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by
existing law or regulations.
2. The application was timely filed.
3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to
demonstrate the existence of an error or an injustice to warrant
removing the contested FA in its entirety. The supporting
statements from the squadron commander and Chief of Aerospace
Medicine are duly noted; however, we are not persuaded the
prescribed medication, although raising his heart rate during
the cardio component of the FA, prevented him from successfully
completing the other components of the contested FA. Although
the Chief of Aerospace Medicine states the entire FA should be
invalidated in the event the applicant contends that he was so
exhausted from the walk that he could not max-out his sit-ups
and push-ups, based on the evidence before us and noting the
applicants FA history, we do not find this statement, in and of
itself, sufficient to justify removing the entire FA.
Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find
no basis upon which to recommend the entire FA be removed from
his records.
4. Notwithstanding the above, sufficient relevant evidence has
been presented to demonstrate the existence of an error or an
injustice warranting partial relief. In view of the medical
documentation submitted in support of this appeal indicating the
prescribed inhaler contributed to his failure during the cardio
component of the contested FA, the Air Force office of primary
responsibility recommends the record be corrected to show the
applicant was exempt from this component. We agree and accept
its rationale as the basis for our conclusion the applicant has
met his burden of establishing the existence of an error or an
injustice in his records warranting some form of relief.
Therefore, we recommend the applicants record 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 that the cardio
component of the Fitness Assessment, dated 20 September 2012, be
amended to reflect exempt in the Air Force Fitness Management
System.
