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.
