________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIM recommends partial approval. The applicant received an AF Form 469 from his primary medical care provider stating he had a medical condition preventing him from passing the cardio component of the FA effective 18 Nov 2011. Therefore, the applicant should not have been required to complete the cardio portion of the FA. Since his medical condition did not restrict him from the push-up, sit-up and abdominal circumference components of the FA, there is no authority to remove these portions from the AFFMS. DPSIM recommends exempting the applicant from the cardio component of the FA which would result in a composite score of 86.00, Satisfactory.
The complete DPSIM evaluation is at Exhibit B.
________________________________________________________________

On 29 Oct 2013, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit C). As of this date, this office has not received a response.
