AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-00042
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
IN THE MATTER OF:
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
The Fitness Assessment (FA) dated 30 Jun 2010 be removed from
the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS).
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The test was not done in accordance with Air Force Instructions;
therefore the score is not an official score.
She transferred to a new base on 31 May 2010, and was sent on
Temporary Duty (TDY) two weeks later to an Army Reserve Training
Summer Camp.
While at the TDY location her supervisor advised her that her FA
was due on 1 Jul 2010. She was exempt from all components of
the FA except for the waist measurement [sic] due to her surgery
seven months earlier. She passed her previous FAs prior to the
FA failure on 30 Jun 2010.
Her supervisor instructed her to go to the base gym and find
someone to measure her waist. She went to the base gym where an
Army sergeant measured her waist. He measured her one time
instead of three as required by Air Force instructions. The
individual who administered the test gave her the measurement
and she in turn advised her supervisor. The measurement was
recorded as an official score.
There was no official paperwork completed before the
measurements were taken.
She requested a signed letter from her supervisor; however she
did not send it. She includes an electronic communiqué from her
supervisor stating she would write the letter.
The Army sergeant who recorded the score is currently deployed;
therefore, she cannot obtain a statement from him.
In support of her request, the applicant provides a copy of DD
Form 1610, Request and Authorization for TDY Travel of DoD
Personnel, and an electronic communiqué from AFMOA/SGHC.
The applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant is currently serving in the Air Force in the grade
of captain (Capt, O-3).
In accordance with AFI 36-2905, Air Force Fitness Program, a
Fitness Assessment Cell (FAC) representative or trained designee
will take the AC measurement in a private room or in a
partitioned area. Individuals conducting AC measurements will
be of the same gender as the member being taped and certified by
the Exercise Physiologist (EP) or Fitness Program Manager (FPM)
as an official taper. Where a FAC member of the same gender is
not available, an observer of the same gender must be present.
________________________________________________________________
THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial. DPSIM states on 13 Feb 2012, a
memorandum was sent to the applicant requesting additional
documentation, specifically a signed memorandum from the FAC
staff and her commander indicating her abdominal circumference
was measured incorrectly. The applicant did not submit
additional documentation.
The complete DPSIM evaluation is at Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 10 Apr 2012, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded
to the applicant 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 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
2
of the Air Force office of primary responsibility and adopt its
rationale as the basis for our conclusion the applicant has not
been the victim of an error or injustice. Should the applicant
provide a signed memorandum from the FAC staff and her commander
indicating her abdominal circumference was measured incorrectly,
we would be willing to reconsider her request. 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.
