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 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 (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.
