RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-00451
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
IN THE MATTER OF:
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
The abdominal circumference (AC) measurement taken on 14 Sep
2011 be removed from the Air Force Fitness Management System
(AFFMS).
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
In accordance with AFI 36-2905, Air Force Fitness Program, the
tester will locate the measurement landmark immediately above
the right uppermost hip bone at the side of the body vertically
in line with the right armpit (midaxillary line).
When his waist was measured, the landmark was an inch above the
right uppermost hip bone. In accordance with AFI 36-2905,
airmen will remain stationary while the tester conducts the
measurement by initially moving around the airman to place the
tape in a horizontal plane around the abdomen. He was not
stationary as the measurement was taken. He was instructed to
spin around, so the tape wrapped around his waist.
In support of his request, the applicant provides a copy of his
Individual Fitness Assessment History.
The applicant's complete submission, with attachment, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant is currently serving in the Air Force in the grade
of staff sergeant (SSgt, E-5).
________________________________________________________________
THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial. DPSIM states on 23 Feb 2012, a
memorandum was sent to the applicant requesting additional
documentation. Specifically a signed memorandum from the
Fitness Assessment Cell (FAC) staff indicating that his
abdominal circumference was measured incorrectly. The applicant
did not submit additional documentation.
The complete DPSIM evaluation, with attachment, is at Exhibit B.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 30 May 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
B).
________________________________________________________________
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 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.
