AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-01573 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

The fitness assessment (FA) failure he received on 2 Feb 12, be 
invalidated and removed from the Air Force Fitness Management 
System (AFFMS). 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

He failed his FA test on 2 Feb 12, due to an incorrect count of 
his push-up repetitions by his spotter. He was informed that 
some of his push-ups were not being counted because the incorrect 
form was utilized. 

 

His Unit Fitness Manager (UFM) went to the Fitness Assessment 
Center (FAC) and reviewed the video of his test, and he believes 
that 40 of his 46 attempts should have been counted which would 
have resulted in a passing score. 

 

He received a waiver of the 42-day reconditioning period required 
following a failed FA, and tested again on 17 Feb 12, and passed 
with a score of 89.7 with a push-up repetition count of 43. 
Because of this, he believes his spotter miscounted his push-up 
repetitions on 2 Feb 12. 

 

In support of his request, the applicant provides a statement 
from his UFM and a copy of his Individual Fitness Assessment 
History Report from the AFFMS. 

 

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 staff sergeant. The applicant failed his FA on 
2 Feb 12, with a score of 82.90. 

 

The relevant facts pertaining to this application are contained 
in the letter prepared by the appropriate office of the Air 
Force. Accordingly, there is no need to recite these facts in 
this Record of Proceedings.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial. DPSIM states that on 10 May 12 a 
memorandum was sent to the applicant requesting additional 
documentation, specifically, a signed memorandum from his local 
FAC personnel stating what happened/occurred during his FA dated 
2 Feb 12. The member did not provide the requested 
documentation. 

 

The complete DPSIM evaluation is at Exhibit B.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

On 26 Nov 12, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to 
the applicant for review and comment within 30 days. As of this 
date, a response has not 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. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to 
demonstrate the existence of error or injustice. After 
thoroughly reviewing the evidence of record and noting the 
applicant’s contentions, we are not persuaded the contested FA is 
in error or unjust. The statement from the Chief, Operations 
Support is noted; however, in the absence of a letter from his 
local FAC representative stating the facts of what occurred 
during his 2 Feb 12 FA, we find insufficient evidence to warrant 
disturbing the record. However, should the applicant provide 
such evidence, we would be willing to reconsider his request. In 
view of the above and in the absence of evidence to the contrary, 
we find no basis to recommend granting the relief sought in this 
application. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

THE BOARD DETERMINES 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.
