As of this date, no response has been received by this office (Exhibit C). ________________________________________________________________ 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 to warrant partial relief. In this respect, we note that while the applicant requests his 29 December 2011 FA be removed in its entirety, the medical evidence only supports exempting the cardio component, which will result in an overall satisfactory composite score. Therefore, we agree with the opinion and recommendation the Air Force office of primary responsibility and adopt the rationale expressed as the basis for our decision that the applicant has been the victim of an error or an injustice. Accordingly, we recommend the applicant’s records be corrected to the extent set forth 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 cardio component of the Fitness Assessment, dated 29 December 2011, reflect “exempt” in the Air Force Fitness Management System. ________________________________________________________________ The following members of the Board considered AFBCMR Docket Number BC-2012-03854 in Executive Session on 2 July 2013, under the provisions of AFI 36-2603: All members voted to correct the records, as recommended.
