APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His referral Enlisted Performance Report (EPR) with a close out 
date of 28 Jul 12 be removed from his records.

________________________________________________________________
_

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

It was later discovered that he had a medical condition that 
would have disqualified him from taking the run portion of the 
Fitness Assessment (FA) on 11 Jul 12.  Had he been exempt from 
the cardio component of the FA, he would not have failed the FA 
test in question, thus would not have been given a referral EPR.  

In support of his request, the applicant provides copies of 
letters of support from the 10th Medical Group.

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

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSIM recommends denying removing the applicant’s FA test 
dated 11 Jul 12; however, they recommend exempting his cardio 
component of the FA test.  In this respect, it was later 
determined by the applicant’s Primary Medical Care Provider that 
he had a medical condition that prevented him from passing the 
cardio component of the FA.  

The complete DPSIM evaluation, with attachment, is at Exhibit C.

AFPC/DPSID recommends approving the applicant’s request to void 
the contested EPR from his records contingent upon the removal 
of the cardio portion of the FA test dated 11 Jul 12.  In this 
respect, the applicant provided a memorandum dated 18 Jan 13 
from his Primary Care Manager (PCM) that confirms his “medical 
condition may have impacted his ability to successfully complete 
the run portion of the FA which could have prevented him from 
passing the contested physical fitness examination”.  Therefore, 
the FA failure was inappropriate for comment on the contested 
referral EPR.  As a result, the referral EPR should be removed 
from his records.  Additionally, they concur with the DPSIM 
recommendation regarding exempting applicant’s cardio component 
of the FA.  

The complete DPSID evaluation is at Exhibit D.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the 
applicant on 13 Dec 13 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.  Although the 
applicant did not request correction of his FA test, dated 11 
Jul 12, we agree with the Air Force office of primary 
responsibility recommendation that the applicant should not have  
tested in the cardio component of the FA due to his medical 
condition.  As a result, we believe the cardio component should 
be corrected to reflect “exempt” in the Air Force Fitness 
Management System (AFFMS).  The recommended change will result 
in an overall composite fitness score of 88.50 (Satisfactory).  
Since his FA will result in a satisfactory score, his referral 
EPR rendered for the period of 29 Nov 11 thru 28 Jul 12 should 
be voided and removed from his records.  Therefore, we recommend 
his 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:

	a. The cardio component of the fitness assessment dated 
11 July 2012 be amended to reflect “exempt” in the Air Force 
Fitness Management System.

	b. The AF Form 910, Enlisted Performance Report (AB thru 
TSgt), rendered for the period 29 November 2011 thru 28 July 
2012 be declared void and removed from his records.
