RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF:
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His fitness assessment (FA) score recorded on 6 December 2011 be
removed from the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS).
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
Due to the unprofessional behavior on the part of the Fit Cell
staff, during the FA on 6 December 2011, his push-ups were not
counted aloud. While he was trying to perform his test the
staff member was talking/arguing with the person who was
counting his push-ups.
In support of his request the applicant provides a copy of his
AFFMS Individual Test History and a signed memorandum for record
(MFR) from his commander excusing him from the Health and
Wellness Center’s (HAWC) program and allowing him to retest
immediately.
The applicant’s 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 technical sergeant (TSgt), E-6.
By letter dated 19 March 2012, HQ AFPC/DPSIM requested the
applicant provide additional supporting documentation to
substantiate his claim; specifically, a signed memorandum from
the Fit Cell staff documenting that his pushups were counted
incorrectly.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial. DPSIM states the applicant did
not provide the requested documentation to substantiate his
claim. They recommend denial to have the fitness assessment
dated 6 December 2011, deleted from AFFMS.
The complete AFPC/DPSIM evaluation is at Exhibit B.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The applicant provided an expanded statement of the events of
6 December 2011 and provided supporting documents.
The applicant’s complete response, with attachments, is at
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. Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to
demonstrate the existence of error or injustice. After a
thorough review of the evidence of record and the applicant’s
submission we believe relief is warranted. The Board notes the
comments of the Air Force office of primary responsibility,
indicating the applicant has failed to sustain his burden of
proof by providing documentation from the Fit Cell staff to
substantiate his claim. However, we believe he has raised
sufficient doubt regarding the accuracy of the contested fitness
assessment. In this respect, we note the overall score of the
contested assessment represents a significant regression when
compared to his individual test scores both prior and subsequent
to the period under review; additionally, the applicant appears
to have the support of his commander to be retested on his
fitness assessment. Therefore, in order to preclude the
possibility of an injustice to the applicant, we believe it is
appropriate to resolve any doubt in the applicant’s favor.
Accordingly, we recommend his records be corrected as indicated
below.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:
The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air
Force relating to APPLICANT be corrected to show that the
Fitness Assessment (FA) score dated 6 December 2011 be removed
from the Air Force Fitness Management System.
