RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBERS: BC-2011-03673
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His physical fitness test score performed on 8 September 2011 be
removed from his record.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He seriously injured his right knee while running during physical
training (PT) just a couple days before his scheduled Fitness
Assessment (FA). As a result, he was placed on a profile that
exempted him from all fitness tests except the abdominal
circumference (AC) test. However, the Air Force changed the
regulations to penalize people on profile. His AC measured 38.5
inches. The normal passing score is less than 39 inches;
however, for airmen on profile, the passing score is 37.5 inches.
It is humanly impossible to lose 1.5 inches off your waist in
just two days; therefore, he failed what should have been an easy
passing score.
The applicant does not provide any evidence in support of his
appeal.
The applicants complete submission is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant is currently a member of the Regular Air Force
serving in the grade of technical sergeant (E-6).
The remaining relevant facts, extracted from the applicants
military service record, are contained in the evaluation provided
by the Air Force office of primary responsibility at Exhibit B.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AF/A1PP recommends denial. A1PP states the applicant exceeded
the required AC measurement and failed the FA. The primary goal
behind the Air Force Fitness Program is to reduce potential
health risks and to establish a culture in which airmen see merit
in maintaining fitness year-round, rather than conditioning with
a limited objective of passing an annual fitness test. In
accordance with Air Force Instruction (AFI) 36-2905, paragraph
4.2, the AC measurement will be performed on all members unless
exempted by a medical provider since there is no risk to the
member. Since the applicant was not exempt from the AC
component, his AC measurement of 38.5 inches (at the time of the
FA in question) was greater than the 37.5 inches required when
all components are exempt except AC.
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 December 2011, for review and comment within 30 days
(Exhibit C). As of this date, this office has received no
response.
_________________________________________________________________
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.
