AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIM recommends partial approval. DPSIM recommends the
pushup component of the FA dated 21 July 2011 be updated to
reflect exempt. Additionally, recommend the FA dated 16 February
2011 is not deleted from AFFMS. DPSIM states the applicant
provided an AF Form 469 dated 13 July 2011 stating no push/pull >
40 pounds with upper extremity and no repetitive bending of the
waist. The applicant did not provide documentation to show
sufficient evidence that the 16 February 2011 fitness assessment
was unjust.
The complete DPSIM evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit B.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 1 October 2012, 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. Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to
demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice warranting
partial relief. We believe the documentation provided by the
applicant provides a reasonable basis to conclude the applicant
should have been “exempt” from performing the push-up portion of
the FA test dated 21 July 2011. However, the FA test dated
16 February 2011, the applicant has not provided sufficient
evidence that the assessment was unjust. Therefore, we agree
with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force office of
primary responsibility and adopt its rationale as the basis for
our conclusion that only the push-up component of the FA test
dated 21 July 2011 be corrected. Therefore, we recommend that
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 push-up
component of the Fitness Assessment dated 21 July 2011 be amended
to reflect “exempt” in the Air Force Fitness Management System.
