RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2012-05750

			COUNSEL:  NO

			HEARING DESIRED:  NO


________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Her 17 Aug 12 Fitness Assessment (FA) be declared void and removed from the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS). 

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

Her Physical Training Leader (PTL) assessed her unfairly during her FA.  The PTL measured her abdominal circumference (AC) at 33 inches, while six months earlier she weighed the same amount and was measured at 29 inches.  When she asked to be remeasured, the Fitness Assessment Center (FAC) representative measured her AC at 31.5 inches, causing the PTL to become clearly upset.  Then, during the push-up portion of the FA when the applicant’s push-up partner had counted seven of her push-ups, the PTL stopped her partner from counting and continued to tell the applicant to “go lower” until the allotted time for push-ups was over, and then only counted seven of her total push-ups.  Her push-up partner said “I would have counted your push-ups.”  

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

The applicant served in the Regular Air Force in the grade of Senior Airman (E-4) during the matter under review.

The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are described in the letter prepared by the Air Force office of primary responsibility, which is included at Exhibit C.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of an error or injustice.  The applicant did not provide any documentation to support her claim.  Without documentation to support her claim, DPSIM cannot determine whether or not there was an error or injustice.  

A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSIM 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 22 Mar 13 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 the case; however, we agree with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force office of primary responsibility (OPR) and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion the applicant has not been the victim of an error of injustice.  Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no basis to recommend granting the relief.

________________________________________________________________




THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:

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