RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2013-00401
	XXXXXXX	COUNSEL:  NONE
		HEARING DESIRED: NO

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His Fitness Assessment (FA), dated 8 January 2013, be removed 
from the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS).

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

His medical provider determined that his condition prevented him 
from achieving a passing score during his FA.

In support of his appeal, the applicant provides copies of his 
AF Form 108, Physical Fitness Education and Intervention 
Processing, dated 14 January 2013 and his FA Score Sheet.

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

________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant failed the FA dated 8 January 2013.  

________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial based on a lack of supporting 
evidence.  

DPSIM noted that the applicant completed his FA on 8 January 
2013, with a composite score of 36.50; unsatisfactory.  The 
applicant failed to meet the minimum requirement in the cardio 
component.  There was a medical evaluation (AF Form 108); 
provided by the applicant validating that the contested FA could 
not be a passing score due to a medical condition.  However, his 
commander did not invalidate the contested FA.

The complete DPSIM evaluation, with attachment, 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 15 October 2013 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 an error or injustice warranting 
corrective action.  After thoroughly reviewing the evidence of 
record and noting the OPR's recommendation to deny the request, 
we find the medical documentation provided is sufficient to 
recommend partial relief.  While the applicant requests the 
entire FA be removed, in the absence of evidence that he should 
have been exempt from either the entire FA or other components 
and noting that his overall composite score will increase to 
91.25 percent (Excellent), we believe our recommended corrective 
action will provide him full and fitting relief.  Accordingly, 
we recommend his record be corrected to the extent 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 
component of the Fitness Assessment, dated 8 January 2013, 
reflect “exempt” in the Air Force Fitness Management System.
