RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-01106 

 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

His fitness test failures from September and October 2010 be 
removed. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

The fitness exams and the persons administering the assessment 
were inconsistent with Air Force Instruction. All three of his 
failed assessments were counted one-on-one with a Fitness 
Assessment Cell (FAC) member, without the option to pair off no 
matter how many people were being assessed. These failures have 
resulted in his receiving a referral enlisted performance report 
and the loss of his promotion line number. 

 

In support of his request, the applicant provides a copy of his 
Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS) record and an excerpt 
from AFI 36-2905, Fitness Program. 

 

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 (E-4). He received three recorded 
unsatisfactory fitness assessments: 27 September 2010, 6 October 
2010 and 28 October 2010.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

USAF/A1PP recommends denial. A1PP states the guidance the 
applicant references does not mandate pairing off and it was at 
the discretion of the FAC on how the testing would be 
administered. The guidance to make pairing mandatory was not 
policy until 1 January 2011, after the applicant’s three failures. 

 

The complete A1PP evaluation is at Exhibit C.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the 
applicant on 9 September 2011 for review and comment within 30 
days. As of this date, no response has been received by this 
office (Exhibit D). 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT: 

 

1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing 
law or regulations. 

 

2. The application was timely filed. 

 

3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to 
demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice. We took 
notice of the applicant’s complete submission in judging the 
merits of this case. However, we agree with the opinion and 
recommendation of the Air Force office of primary responsibility 
and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion that the 
applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice. In 
the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no compelling 
basis to recommend granting the relief sought in this application. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT: 

 

The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not 
demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; that the 
application was denied without a personal appearance; and that the 
application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of newly 
discovered relevant evidence not considered with this application.
