AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

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.

    The Airman may use one hand to initially assist the tester in anchoring the tape measure to the body, but must remove the hand from the tape measure before the official measurement is recorded. The tester will ensure tape is parallel to the floor at the level of the landmark (bottom edge of the tape just contacts landmark), is snug, but does not compress the bare skin. The tester will record this value as the AC measurement.
