RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-02810
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His fitness assessment (FA) score recorded on 1 June 2011 be
removed from the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS).
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
During the FA on 1 June 2011 he injured himself while doing sit-
ups. After an MRI and a referral to an Orthopedic Surgeon it
was discovered that he had a torn meniscus and Patella Femoral
Syndrome.
In support of his request, the applicant provides a copy of his
AFFMS Individual Test History, and a letter from the Flight
Surgeon addressed to the 78th MDG/SGPZ.
The applicants 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 (SSgt), E-5.
In accordance with AFI 36-2905, Fitness Program, to determine
overall fitness the Air Force uses an overall composite fitness
score and minimum scores per 3 component areas: Aerobic Fitness
(1.5 mile run), Body Composition (abdominal circumference
measurement), and Muscular Fitness (number of push-ups and sit-
ups completed within 1 minute each). Military members receive a
composite score on a 0 to 100 scale based on the following
maximum component scores: 60 points for aerobic, 20 points for
body composition, 10 points for push-ups and 10 points for sit-
ups. To determine individual composite fitness scores the Air
Force uses age and gender specific fitness score charts
The applicant was required to earn an overall composite score of
75 or greater. His overall score was 80.60 but his fitness
level was listed as unsatisfactory because he failed to meet the
minimum component value for the sit-ups in his specific age and
gender group (Exhibit B). He completed 37 sit-ups in one
minute; the minimum component value for his age and gender group
is 42 sit-ups in one minute. Minimum component scores are
established to ensure that members test adequately in all
components rather than excelling in some and disregarding
others.
The applicant failed the Muscular Fitness portion of the test
therefore his overall FA rating was Unsatisfactory.
The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are
contained in the letter prepared by the appropriate office of
the Air Force at Exhibit C. Accordingly there is no need to
recite these facts in this Record of Proceedings.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ USAF/A1PP recommends denial. In an undated memorandum A1PP
states, based on the information provided there is no clear
documentation that the injury occurred during or before the sit-
ups portion of the FA. The request was reviewed by the
Aerospace Medicine Policy office and they concur that the
applicants 1 June 2011 FA record should remain in AFFMS.
The complete HQ USAF/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 10 November 2011 for review and comment within 30
days. 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 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 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 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.
