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.

    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.
