AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-01304
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
IN THE MATTER OF:
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His 15 Mar 12 “Unsatisfactory” Fitness Assessment (FA) score be
removed from the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS).
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
When he completed his test his counter accidently wrote down the
wrong number. He completed 44 push-ups correctly and his counter
wrote down “43” as the number of push-ups he completed. He knew
before he tested the number of push-ups and sit-ups needed to
pass, so when he reached that number he stopped knowing that was
all he needed to achieve a 75 percent.
Since he knew the minimum number needed to pass, why would he
have stopped one push-up short, resulting in a failure.
He failed to check his sheet before he signed it. After
realizing he made a mistake, he contacted the counter; however
the counter could not remember the exact number of push-ups he
achieved correctly.
He is pending a medical discharge and would like to go out on a
good note.
The applicant's complete submission is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant is currently serving in the Regular Air Force in
the grade of staff sergeant.
His FA dated 15 Mar 12 reflects a total score of 74.00, which was
recorded as “Unsatisfactory.”
The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application
extracted from the applicant’s military records are contained in
the letter prepared by the appropriate office of the Air Force at
Exhibit B.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial. DPSIM states on 23 Apr 12 a
memorandum was sent to the applicant requesting additional
documentation. Specifically, a copy of his signed FA score sheet
by him and the local Fitness Assessment Cell representative, and
a memorandum from the tester stating what happened. The member
did not provide the requested documentation.
The complete DPSIM evaluation, with attachment, is at Exhibit B.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 26 Jul 12, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to
the applicant for review and comment within 30 days. As of this
date, a response has not been received by this office (Exhibit
C).
_________________________________________________________________
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 that 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.
