APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

The abdominal circumference measurements should have been taken 
before the push-up and sit-up portions of the test. He came to 
the test with a profile and was told to obtain additional 
documentation. When he returned he was instructed to join in and 
perform the push-up and sit-up portion of the fitness test. He 
was then measured for abdominal circumference and measured 39 and 
a half. He was asked to return the next day to remeasure - and 
measured 38 and a half. However, the first score was recorded. 

 

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

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 


 

AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial. DPSIM states on 20 August 2012, a 
memorandum was sent to the applicant requesting additional 
documentation. Specifically, they requested a signed memorandum 
from the fitness testing administrators stating the facts of what 
happened/occurred during his fitness assessment. The applicant 
did not provide the requested documentation. 

 

The complete DPSIM evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit B.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

On 26 November 2012, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was 
forwarded to the applicant for review and response within 30 days 
(Exhibit C). As of this date, no response has been received by 
this office. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

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 an injustice. We took 
notice of the applicant's complete submission in judging the 
merits of the case. While the applicant contends his abdominal 
circumference measurements were inconsistent, we do not find the 
evidence provided sufficient to conclude that he has been the 
victim of an error or injustice. In view of this, and noting 
there was no documentation located or provided that indicates an 
error or impropriety in the physical fitness test and subsequent 
fitness assessment score, 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. 
Therefore, 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 the evidence presented did not 
demonstrate the existence of an 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.
