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 applicants flat foot
and the need for new orthotics. The medical provider also
indicated the applicants 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 applicants 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.

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by
