AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial, indicating there is no evidence of 
an error or injustice. On 17 May 10, the applicant was seen by 
an off base Podiatrist, who diagnosed the applicant with tibial 
stress reaction and abnormal promotion. For treatment, the 
podiatrist recommended education to prepare his legs for 
exercise as well as custom orthotics. The on-base Military 
Treatment Facility (MTF) put him on a two week profile effective 
21 Jun 10. The medical provider indicated the applicant has 
tiny clacaneal enthesophyte developing along the plantar aspect. 
The medical provider released the applicant without limitations. 
On 28 Jun 12, the applicant was again seen at the MTF for foot 
pain. The medical provider discussed the applicant’s flat foot 
and the need for new orthotics. The medical provider also 
indicated the applicant’s weight was unhealthy and documented 
the applicant was previously seen for a recommendation to 
nullify an FA, at which time the medical provider did not find 
anything which would prevent his passing the FA. The medical 
provider annotated “Most likely the reason the patient is unable 
to pass test is due to poor aerobic physical conditioning and 
obesity.” On 2 Aug 12, the applicant was seen at a Podiatry 
Clinic, where he was diagnosed with Plantar Fasciitis and 
Acquired Deformity (Unequal Leg Length). The applicant was 
again released without limitations. The medical providers 
(including the Podiatrist) did not find the applicant’s medical 
conditions so severe as to restrict him from any component of 
the FA. 

 

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

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the 
applicant on 10 May 13 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. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to 
demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice. We took 
notice of the applicant’s complete submission in judging the 
merits of the case; however, we agree with the opinion and 
recommendation of the Air Force office of primary responsibility 
(OPR) and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion 
the applicant has not been the victim of an error of injustice. 
Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find 
no basis to recommend granting the relief. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT: 

 

The applicant be notified the evidence presented did not 
demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; the 
application was denied without a personal appearance; and the 
application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of 
newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this 
application.
