RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-02511
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His Fitness Assessment (FA) score dated 16 Feb 12 be declared
void and removed from the Air Force Fitness Management System
(AFFMS).
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The number of laps he ran during the cardio portion of the FA
was miscounted. Due to inclement weather the 1.5 run was held
in an alternate facility. In the alternate facility, he was
required to run 12 laps to complete the run rather than the
normal 6 laps. The test was conducted by military members newly
assigned to the Fitness Assessment Cell (FAC). There was
confusion among the testing officials. They did not document
the times for each lap, only keeping the lap count. The change
in handwriting on the lap count sheet used for his test suggests
a different person took over as the test was being accomplished,
which is when he believes the mistake was made. Because his
final time was just barely over the allowed time, given all the
confusion, he is convinced that he ran one additional lap
unnecessarily. He retested 26 days later and reduced his run
time by 1.5 minutes.
In support of his request, the applicant provides copies of the
FACs lap count sheets from his 16 Feb 12 FA and his retest on
13 Mar 12.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.

________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial, indicating there is no evidence of
an error or injustice. On 7 Jul 12, a memorandum was sent to
the applicant requesting additional documentation.
Specifically, a memorandum from his FAC explaining how/why the
laps were miscounted. The member did not provide the requested
documentation.
A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSIM evaluation, with attachment,
is at Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The applicant reiterates that his FA test failure must be due to
the laps being recounted and argues the customary time for
completion of the 1.5 mile run has been approximately
13 minutes. Due to the fact that his time recorded on the day
in question was almost 14 and one half minutes, the total number
of laps must have been miscounted (Exhibit E).
________________________________________________________________
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. We took
notice of the applicants complete submission in judging the
merits of the case, to include his rebuttal to the Air Force
evaluation; however, we are not persuaded by his arguments or
the documentation provided that his fitness assessment was
erroneously administered when he was allegedly allowed to run
too many laps during the cardio portion of the test in question.
While the applicants arguments are duly noted, we do not find
them sufficient justification upon which to change the official
record. 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.
