		HEARING DESIRED: NO


________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Her Enlisted Performance Report (EPR), rendered for the 
reporting period 14 Mar 09 through 13 Mar 10, be declared void 
and removed from her military personnel records.

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

She was erroneously administered the one-mile walk test prior to 
the implementation of AFI 36-2905, Fitness Program, when the 
provisions of AFI 10-248, Fitness Program, were still in effect.  
As a result, she received a referral EPR.    

The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at 
Exhibit A.

________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant is currently serving in the Regular Air Force in 
the grade of staff sergeant (E-5).  

On 19 Feb 10, the applicant participated in the contested FA 
that consisted of a one-mile walk for the cardio component of 
the assessment, in which she did not attain a passing score. 

At the time, there were no provisions that authorized the one-
mile walk component prior to the implementation of AFI 36-2905, 
Fitness Program, dated 1 Jul 10.

On 3 Dec 12, AFPC/DPSIM notified the applicant that her FA, 
dated 19 Feb 10, had been administratively removed from the 
AFFMS.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSID recommends approval of the applicant’s request to 
void the contested report based on the recommendation from the 
subject matter expert and the removal of the 19 Feb 10 FA from 
the AFFMS.  The applicant alleges that the FA failure was a 
direct result of her being tested under the wrong cardio 
component of the one-mile walk.  She contends that she should 
have been tested under the cardio component of the three-mile 
walk.  The applicant provided a memorandum from her commander as 
well as the Fitness Assessment Cell (FAC) Staff, recommending 
that the contested fitness failure be removed from the AFFMS.  
The applicant also provided an email from the Inspector 
General’s Office who verified with USAF/A1PPP that the one-mile 
walk was not authorized to be conducted until 1 Jul 10 and, as a 
result, made the 19 Feb 10 assessment invalid.

A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSID evaluation is at Exhibit D.

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the 
applicant on 1 Mar 13 for review and comment within 30 days.  As 
of this date, no response has been received by this office 
(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.  Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to 
demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice.  The 
applicant contends that she was erroneously administered the 
one-mile walk test prior to the implementation of AFI 36-2905, 
Fitness Program, which led to her fitness failure and resulted 
in her receiving a referral EPR.  After a thorough review of the 
evidence of record and the applicant’s complete submission, we 
believe a preponderance of the evidence supports corrective 
action.  In this respect, we note the comments of the Air Force 
OPR indicating that relief should be granted and the contested 
EPR be removed from her records.  In view of the above, we also 
believe it would be appropriate to recommend the applicant be 
provided supplemental promotion consideration for all cycles 
where the contested EPR was a matter of record.  Therefore, we 
recommend the applicant’s records be corrected as indicated 
below.  

________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:

The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air 
Force relating to the APPLICANT be corrected to show the 
following:

	a.  The AF Form 910, Enlisted Performance Report (AB thru 
TSgt), rendered for the period 14 March 2009 through 13 March 
2010 be declared void and removed from her records.

	b.  She be provided supplemental promotion consideration for 
all cycles where this report was a matter of record.
