RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-01079
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
_
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His referral Enlisted Performance Report (EPR) with a close out
date of 28 Jul 12 be removed from his records.
________________________________________________________________
_
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
It was later discovered that he had a medical condition that
would have disqualified him from taking the run portion of the
Fitness Assessment (FA) on 11 Jul 12. Had he been exempt from
the cardio component of the FA, he would not have failed the FA
test in question, thus would not have been given a referral EPR.
In support of his request, the applicant provides copies of
letters of support from the 10th Medical Group.
His complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIM recommends denying removing the applicants FA test
dated 11 Jul 12; however, they recommend exempting his cardio
component of the FA test. In this respect, it was later
determined by the applicants Primary Medical Care Provider that
he had a medical condition that prevented him from passing the
cardio component of the FA.
The complete DPSIM evaluation, with attachment, is at Exhibit C.
AFPC/DPSID recommends approving the applicants request to void
the contested EPR from his records contingent upon the removal
of the cardio portion of the FA test dated 11 Jul 12. In this
respect, the applicant provided a memorandum dated 18 Jan 13
from his Primary Care Manager (PCM) that confirms his medical
condition may have impacted his ability to successfully complete
the run portion of the FA which could have prevented him from
passing the contested physical fitness examination. Therefore,
the FA failure was inappropriate for comment on the contested
referral EPR. As a result, the referral EPR should be removed
from his records. Additionally, they concur with the DPSIM
recommendation regarding exempting applicants cardio component
of the FA.
The complete DPSID evaluation is at Exhibit D.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the
applicant on 13 Dec 13 for review and comment within 30 days.
As of this date, this office has received no response.
________________________________________________________________
_
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 error or injustice. Although the
applicant did not request correction of his FA test, dated 11
Jul 12, we agree with the Air Force office of primary
responsibility recommendation that the applicant should not have
tested in the cardio component of the FA due to his medical
condition. As a result, we believe the cardio component should
be corrected to reflect exempt in the Air Force Fitness
Management System (AFFMS). The recommended change will result
in an overall composite fitness score of 88.50 (Satisfactory).
Since his FA will result in a satisfactory score, his referral
EPR rendered for the period of 29 Nov 11 thru 28 Jul 12 should
be voided and removed from his records. Therefore, we recommend
his 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:
a. The cardio component of the fitness assessment dated
11 July 2012 be amended to reflect exempt in the Air Force
Fitness Management System.
b. The AF Form 910, Enlisted Performance Report (AB thru
TSgt), rendered for the period 29 November 2011 thru 28 July
2012 be declared void and removed from his records.

If she had been on the correct profile when she completed the June 2011 FA, she would have passed the FA with a 75.5 score and would not have received the referral EPR. DPSID states that based on the AFPC/DPSIM advisory to grant the relief sought to exempt the cardio component of the FA dated 8 June 2011, they contend that the fitness assessment failure is an inappropriate comment on the contested referral EPR, and as a result, the referral EPR should be removed from her record.
