AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIM recommends partial relief. DPSIM states they
recommend denying the request to remove the FA dated 23 October
2012 in the AFFMS; however, they recommend exempting the
applicants sit-up component.
IAW AFI 36-2905, AFGM 4, paragraph 10, If an Airman becomes
injured or ill during the FA and is unable to complete all
required components, he/she will have the option of being
evaluated at the Medical Treatment Facility (MTF) but his/her
test will still count unless rendered invalid by the Unit
Commander. If the medical evaluation validates the
illness/injury, the Unit Commander may invalidate the test
results. While in this case the applicants medical condition
was validated by a military medical provider, there is no
evidence the commander invalidated the assessment.
Additionally, the primary care manager (PCM) validated a knee
injury that limited the applicants ability to complete the sit-
up component; none of the evidence provided indicates she was
restricted from any other component.
The DPSIM complete evaluation is at Exhibit B.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 31 March 2013, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was
forwarded to the applicant for review and response within
30 days (Exhibit C). 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. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to
demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice warranting
removing the contested FA from the AFFMS. The applicant has not
provided sufficient evidence that the assessment was unjust,
warranting removal in its entirety. In view of the above and in
the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no basis to
recommend favorable action.
4. Notwithstanding the above, sufficient relevant evidence has
been presented to warrant partial relief. We believe the
documentation provided by the applicant provides a reasonable
basis to conclude she should have been exempt from performing
the sit-up portion of the contested FA. Therefore, we agree
with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force office of
primary responsibility that only the sit-up component of her FA
of 23 October 2012 be corrected. Therefore, we recommend the
records 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 sit-up
component of the Fitness Assessment dated 23 October 2012 be
amended to reflect exempt in the Air Force Fitness Management
System.
