RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-01779
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His fitness assessment (FA) score recorded on 10 May 11 be
removed from the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS).
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His waist measurement on his 10 May 11 FA was inaccurate. When
his FA was administered his waist was measured at 39.5 inches.
He was authorized to retest on 13 May 11 due to a short notice
deployment and his waist measurement was 38 inches.
In support of his request, the applicant provides copies of his
FA score sheets for 10 and 13 May 11.
The applicants 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 (E-5).
In accordance with AFI 36-2905, Fitness Program, to determine
overall fitness the Air Force uses an overall composite fitness
score and minimum scores per three component areas: Aerobic
Fitness (1.5 mile run), Body Composition (abdominal
circumference measurement), and Muscular Fitness (number of
push-ups and sit-ups completed within one minute each).
Military members receive a composite score on a 0 to 100 scale
based on the following maximum component scores: 60 points for
aerobic, 20 points for body composition, 10 points for push-ups
and 10 points for sit-ups. To determine individual composite
fitness scores the Air Force uses age and gender specific
fitness score charts.
Furthermore, Attachment 2, USAF Fitness Scoring, of the AFI
reflects males 30-39 must meet minimum value in each of the four
components, and achieves a composite point total greater than 75
points. The passing minimum component for a waist measurement
for a male between the ages 30-39 is 39 inches.
On 10 May 11, the applicant participated in the contested FA,
attaining a composite score of 80.20. The applicant did not
meet the minimum component for the waist measurement and
therefore received an unsatisfactory rating for the fitness
test. His waist measurement was 39.5 inches.
On 13 May 11, the applicant was allowed to retest due to a short
notice deployment and his waist measurement was 38 inches,
therefore resulting in a satisfactory rating for the FA.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial noting the applicant failed to
respond to a request to provide additional documentation from
his local FAC stating the waist measurement was not conducted in
accordance with governing Air Force Instruction, 36-2905, Air
Force Fitness.
The complete AFPC/DPSIM evaluation, with attachment, is at
Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant on 28 Aug 12 for review and comment within 30 days
(Exhibit D). As of this date, no response has been received by
this office.
________________________________________________________________
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 an error or injustice. The
applicant contends that his waist measurement was erroneously
recorded during the contested (FA) because his waist
measurement, as recorded just three days later, was markedly
different. However, other than his own assertions, he has
provided no evidence whatsoever that would lead us to believe
that his waist measurement taken in conjunction with either test
was erroneous or renders him the victim of an 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 the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; the
application was denied without a personal appearance; and the
application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of
newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this
application.
