He contacted his UFPM and FAC and talked with them and his first sergeant. His first sergeant and commander have provided a memorandum for record (MFR) stating that his fitness record needs to be corrected. In support of his request, the applicant provides a copy of his commander’s memorandum for record, his AF Form 469, Duty Limiting Conditions, a note from his doctor, and his fitness test history. The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A. ________________________________________________________________ STATEMENT OF FACTS: The applicant is currently serving in the Regular Air Force in the grade of Senior Airman (SrA), E-4. By letter dated 31 May 2012, AFPC/DPSIM requested the applicant provide additional supporting documentation to substantiate his claim; specifically, a copy of AF Form 422, Notification of Air Force Member’s Qualification Status, indicating his limitations/exemptions (Exhibit B). ________________________________________________________________ AIR FORCE EVALUATION: AFPC/DPSIM recommends the cardio portion of the fitness assessment dated 6 April 2012 be updated to reflect “exempt” in AFFMS. The applicant provided an AF Form 469, dated 6 April 2012, stating “no running >100 yards and no continuous walking > 3/4 miles.” With the exemption of the cardio portion of the fitness assessment the applicant’s overall composite score will change to reflect 94.25 (Excellent).

To date, this office has not received a 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 to warrant partial relief. We took notice of the applicant's complete submission in judging the merits of the case; however, we agree with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force office of primary responsibility that correction of the cardio portion of the fitness assessment dated 6 April 2012 reflect “exempt” in the Air Force Fitness Management System. We believe correcting the record in this manner provides the applicant proper and fitting relief. Accordingly, we recommend that his records 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 the cardio portion of the fitness assessment dated 6 April 2012 be amended to reflect “exempt” in the Air Force Fitness Management System. ________________________________________________________________ The following members of the Board considered this application BC-2012-01986 in Executive Session on 23 January 2013, under the provisions of AFI 36-2603: The following documentary evidence was considered: Exhibit A.
