RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2012-02813
		COUNSEL:  NONE
		HEARING DESIRED:  NO

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Her Fitness Assessment (FA) dated 2 Apr 2012 be removed from 
the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS).

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

Three years ago, she was diagnosed with a medical condition 
called Vocal Chord Dysfunction (VCD) and was placed on a "no 
maximal exertion" profile.  She should have been exempted from 
all components of her FA except the abdominal circumference.  On 
2 Apr 2012, she tested on all four components of her FA and as a 
result had a VCD attack, which resulted in a FA failure.

In support of her request, the applicant provides copies of a 
letter from the Medical Director and rebuttal to her Enlisted 
Performance Report (EPR), AF Form 422, Notification of Air Force 
Member's Qualification Status; AF Form 469, Duty Limiting 
Condition Report; AF Form 108, Physical Fitness Education and 
Intervention Processing, and fitness score sheet.

Her 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).

________________________________________________________________

THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSIM recommends partial approval.  DPSIM states the 
applicant provided the additional documentation requested per 
their 12 Jul 2012 memorandum.  DPSIM states the cardio, push-up, 
and sit-up components of her FA dated 2 Apr 2012 should reflect 
exempt in AFFMS.  Exemption of the aforementioned components 
will reflect a composite score of 85.5 percent for her FA dated 
2 Apr 2012.

The complete DPSIM evaluation is at Exhibit B.

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

On 30 Oct 2012, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded 
to the applicant 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 
partial relief.  While the applicant requests her entire FA 
dated 2 Apr 2012, be removed from her records, we note the AF 
Form 422 does not exempt the abdominal circumference component.  
Therefore, we agree with the office of primary responsibility 
(OPR) and recommend the cardio, push-up, and sit-up components 
of her FA be corrected to reflect “exempt” in the AFFMS.  
Accordingly, we recommend her 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 that the 
cardio, sit-up, and push-up components of her FA dated 2 Apr 
2012 reflect “exempt” in the AFFMS.
