HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
_
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His Fitness Assessment (FA) be removed from the Air Force

16 Dec 11 UNSATISFACTORY

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial. Based on the AF Form 108 the
applicant submitted, it appears he is requesting his 15 Mar 12
FA test be removed from AFFMS. In accordance with the governing
instructions it states, Unit CC or equivalent will use the AF
Form 108 as a tool to document mandatory education and
intervention requirements. Although the applicants AF Form
108 indicates he continues to be evaluated for his medical
condition and his condition precluded the achievement of a
passing score, he did not provide an AF Form 422, Physical
Profile Serial Report, or AF Form 469, Duty Limiting Condition
Report, indicating to what extent the medical condition impacted
the FA test results. Further, it is unclear the applicant
should be exempted from one or more components, or the entire
FA.
The complete DPSIM evaluation is at Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
_
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The applicant states he had breathing difficultly due to
dyspnea. He provides his AF Form 422 and AF Form 469 that
reflects he is not cleared for the 1.5 mile run and 1 mile walk
test; however, he is cleared for the push-ups; sit-ups, and
abdominal circumference measurement.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit E.

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 error or injustice with respect to
the applicants request for removal of the entire contested FA.
Although the applicant is not clear on which FA test he would
like removed from his records, we believe based on the Air Force
office of primary responsibility review of his record and the AF
Form 108 provided by the applicant that reflects his FA dated
15 Mar 12 is, in fact, the assessment he is requesting to be
removed. After thoroughly reviewing the evidence of record and
noting the applicant's contentions, we are not persuaded the
entire contested FA is in error or unjust. The AF Form 422,
Notification of Air Force Members Qualification Status,
documenting his limitations and duty exemptions is noted;
however, we also note the Military Medical Providers assessment
on the AF Form 108, Physical Fitness Education and Intervention
Processing, indicating the applicant should have been exempt
from the cardio component of the FA. In the absence of
documentation indicating the applicant should have been exempt
from completing the FA, we find insufficient evidence to warrant
removal of the entire FA.
4 Notwithstanding our determination above, sufficient relevant
evidence has been presented to demonstrate the existence of
error or injustice to warrant partial relief. The Board notes
the Air Force office of primary responsibility recommends
denial. However, we believe that based on the medical providers
assessment that the applicant was being evaluated for his
dyspnea during the contested FA time frame and in addition,
three months later was exempted from the cardio component,
provide a reasonable basis to conclude there was a medical
condition which precluded the applicant from achieving a passing
score. Accordingly, we recommend the applicants record be
corrected to the extent 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 15 March 2012, be
amended to reflect exempt in the Air Force Fitness Management
System.
