		COUNSEL:  NONE
		HEARING DESIRED: NO

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His Fitness Assessment (FA), dated 20 April 2011, be removed 
from the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS).

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He suffered a back injury during the contested FA.  He turned in 
all of the required paperwork to his Fitness Program Manager; 
however, he was not given a chance to retest.

The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at 
Exhibit A.

________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant failed the FA dated 20 April 2011.  

________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSIM recommends the applicant be exempt from the cardio, 
pushup and sit-up components of the FA, dated 20 April 2011.  
The overall composite score will change to reflect 
100 (Excellent).  

DPSIM noted, the applicant provided an AF Form 469, Duty Limiting 
Report, dated 26 April 2011 stating no lifting, pushing pulling  
greater than 40 pounds, run at own pace, and no repetitive 
bending of the waist.  

The complete DPSIM evaluation, with attachments, is at 
Exhibit B.

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the 
applicant on 9 November 2012 for review and comment within 
30 days.  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.  While we note 
the applicant requests to have the entire FA removed, the 
medical documentation only warrants an exemption to the cardio, 
sit-up and push-up components.  Therefore, we agree with the 
opinion and recommendation of the Air Force office of primary 
responsibility to grant partial relief, which will result in an 
overall composite score of 100 (Excellent).  Therefore, we 
recommend the applicant’s record 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 the Fitness 
Assessment, dated 20 April 2011, reflect “exempt” in the Air 
Force Fitness Management System.
