APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Her Fitness Assessment dated 27 Jul 12 be removed from the Air 
Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS).

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

She failed the sit-up component due to experiencing a thigh 
cramp while using the toe hold bar while performing the sit-ups.  
At that time she stated that she could not continue due to 
cramping in her leg, but was advised that the score was not 
official until put into AFFMS.  She worked through the cramp and 
completed the remaining portion of the assessment; however, she 
immediately reported to the Emergency Room at her base to get 
examined.  

Her complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant is currently serving in the Regular Air Force in

The applicant’s last five FA scores are as follows:

	19 Jul 10	EXCELLENT

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSIM recommends partial relief.  They state that the 
applicant provided evidence supporting the invalidation of the 
FA test in question.  In the interest of justice and based on 
the limitations provided by her medical provider, they recommend 
the cardio, push-up and sit-up components be corrected to 
reflect “Exempt”.  As a result, her score will reflect an 
“Excellent”.

The complete DPSIM evaluation is at Exhibit C.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the 
applicant on 14 Dec 12 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 warranting 
partial relief.  We note the applicant has requested to have the 
entire FA test dated 27 Jul 12 removed from her records.  Based 
on the Medical Providers restrictive physical limitations on the 
applicant and the recommendation by the Air Force office of 
primary responsibility, we believe the cardio, push-up, and sit-
up components should be corrected to reflect “exempt” in the 
AFFMS.  Our recommended change will result in an overall 
composite fitness score of 100.00, “EXCELLENT”.  Accordingly, we 
recommend 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 cardio, push-
up, and sit-up components of her Fitness Assessment dated 27 July 
2012, reflect “exempt” in the Air Force Fitness Management System.
