RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-01573
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
The fitness assessment (FA) failure he received on 2 Feb 12, be
invalidated and removed from the Air Force Fitness Management
System (AFFMS).
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He failed his FA test on 2 Feb 12, due to an incorrect count of
his push-up repetitions by his spotter. He was informed that
some of his push-ups were not being counted because the incorrect
form was utilized.
His Unit Fitness Manager (UFM) went to the Fitness Assessment
Center (FAC) and reviewed the video of his test, and he believes
that 40 of his 46 attempts should have been counted which would
have resulted in a passing score.
He received a waiver of the 42-day reconditioning period required
following a failed FA, and tested again on 17 Feb 12, and passed
with a score of 89.7 with a push-up repetition count of 43.
Because of this, he believes his spotter miscounted his push-up
repetitions on 2 Feb 12.
In support of his request, the applicant provides a statement
from his UFM and a copy of his Individual Fitness Assessment
History Report from the AFFMS.
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 staff sergeant. The applicant failed his FA on
2 Feb 12, with a score of 82.90.
The relevant facts pertaining to this application are contained
in the letter prepared by the appropriate office of the Air
Force. Accordingly, there is no need to recite these facts in
this Record of Proceedings.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial. DPSIM states that on 10 May 12 a
memorandum was sent to the applicant requesting additional
documentation, specifically, a signed memorandum from his local
FAC personnel stating what happened/occurred during his FA dated
2 Feb 12. The member did not provide the requested
documentation.
The complete DPSIM evaluation is at Exhibit B.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 26 Nov 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. After
thoroughly reviewing the evidence of record and noting the
applicants contentions, we are not persuaded the contested FA is
in error or unjust. The statement from the Chief, Operations
Support is noted; however, in the absence of a letter from his
local FAC representative stating the facts of what occurred
during his 2 Feb 12 FA, we find insufficient evidence to warrant
disturbing the record. However, should the applicant provide
such evidence, we would be willing to reconsider his request. In
view of the above and 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.
