AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-01104
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
IN THE MATTER OF:
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His fitness assessment (FA), dated 26 August 2010, be removed
from the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS).
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
During his 26 August 2010, FA, he requested his feet be held
down by another member for the sit-up portion of the test. The
test proctor told him it was mandatory that he used the anchored
toe-hold bar. While attempting the sit ups for the first time
using the bar, his heels continuously came off the ground. The
test should have been stopped. Instead, he was made to finish
the test and failed by four sit ups.
In support of his request, the applicant provides a memorandum
from the Office of the Inspector General (IG).
The applicant’s complete submission, with attachment, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant is currently serving in the Regular Air Force in
the grade of staff sergeant. Documentation submitted by the
applicant reveals he filed a complaint with the IG alleging the
testing personnel were mandating the use of the toe bar when
completing the sit-up component of the test. The IG
investigated the claim and determined that the process was put
into place without any written guidance and was not in
accordance with AFI 36-2905, Fitness Program. The AFI states
that members may have their feet held down with hands or by
putting knees on the feet. As a result of his complaint, a new
procedure was put into place allowing members both options.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIM recommends approval of removing the sit-up portion of
the FA. The sit-up portion of the assessment should be updated
to reflect “exempt.” The applicant’s overall composite score
would then reflect 89.00 - satisfactory.
The complete DPSIM evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit
B.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant on 25 June 2012, 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. Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to
demonstrate the existence of a clear error to warrant partial
relief. In this respect, while the applicant requests his
26 August 2010 FA be removed, in its entirety from his records,
we find the evidence provided insufficient to recommend granting
this request. However, we are in agreement with the
recommendation of the Air Force office of primary responsibility
to “exempt” the applicant from the sit-up component of the
assessment and maintain the scores of all other components of
the referenced FA in AFFMS. Accordingly, we recommend the
applicant’s records be corrected only to the extent 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 sit-
up component of his Fitness Assessment dated 26 August 2010, be
updated to reflect “exempt” and all other components remain in
the Air Force Fitness Management System.

The applicant provided an AF Form 469, Duty Limiting Condition Report, dated 13 March 2012, stating no push-ups. The complete DPSIM evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit B. While the applicant requests the entire FA be removed, the AF Form 469 only exempted him from the push-up portion of the FA and not the other components.

________________________________________________________________ _ AIR FORCE EVALUATION: AFPC/DPSIM recommends partial approval by updating the cardio component of the FA dated 13 Jun 12 to reflect exempt in the AFFMS. While the applicant requests that his entire FA dated 13 Jun 12, be removed from his records, we note the AF Form 469 does not exempt him from the abdominal circumference, push-up, and sit-up components of his FA, therefore, these scores should remain as recorded.

This logic also concludes a medical condition causing weight gain would cause an increase in AC. She should have never taken the walk test while her dosage was still being adjusted and the FA should be invalidated based on the solid medical evidence presented. While we note the applicant requests the entire FA dated 25 Apr 2012, be removed, the AF Form 422 reflected that she was cleared to test using AC and she has not provided substantial evidence to persuade us otherwise.
