RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-03068
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her fitness assessment (FA) score recorded on 19 April 2012 be
removed from the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS).
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The physical training leaders (PTLs) administering her test
miscounted the number of laps she ran for the 1.5 mile cardio
portion of the FA. After 13 laps the PTLs called that she had 5
laps remaining. As she completed the 14th lap, the PTLs were
taking the heart rates and finish times of those who were taking
the walk test.
She believes the PTLs missed this lap because when she completed
the 15th lap she was informed that she had 4 more laps remaining.
She was instructed to run one more lap after her 18th lap.
Due to the extra lap, her run time was over a minute longer and
her score was approximately seven points lower than it should
have been. She refused to sign the score sheet and went
directly to her unit fitness program manager to try to fix the
issue prior to the scores being entered in her records. However,
due to the wording in the governing Air Force Instruction, her
commander was unable to invalidate her score.
In support of her request, the applicant provides a written
statement from the K Flight Lead PTL, dated 23 May 2012.
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 (SSgt), E-5.
By letter dated 31 July 2012, AFPC/DPSIM requested the applicant
provide additional supporting documentation to substantiate her
claim; specifically, her signed score sheet, signed
questionnaire for the FA in question, and a signed memo from the
PTLs administering the test stating details of what happened on
the date in question (Exhibit B).
The applicant submitted a letter dated 27 August 2012 with
copies of her signed questionnaire and unsigned FA score sheet.
The applicant stated that she was unable to provide the
requested signed letters from the PTLs because they are not in
her squadron and she was unable to reach any of them prior to
writing the submitted letter (Exhibit C).
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial. DPSIM states that on 31 July
2012, a memorandum was sent to the applicant requesting
additional documentation be submitted within 30 days, to
substantiate her claim. Specifically, a signed memo from the
PTLs conducting her fitness assessment stating details of what
happened/occurred during the fitness assessment dated 19 April
2012 as well copies of her signed score sheet and signed
questionnaire. The requested documents were not received.
The complete AFPC/DPSIM evaluation, with attachment, is at
Exhibit D.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The applicant submitted a letter dated 16 November 2012 with
copies of her signed questionnaire, unsigned FA score sheet and
the previously submitted letter dated 23 May 2012, from the K
Flight Lead PTL. The applicant indicated that she was unable to
provide the requested signed letters from the PTLs because they
are not in her squadron and she was unable to reach any of them
prior to writing the submitted letter.
The applicants complete response, with attachments, is at
Exhibit F.
________________________________________________________________
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 a
thorough review of the evidence of record and the applicant's
submission, we see no evidence of error or impropriety in the
administration of the contested FA and subsequent score. The
documentation submitted by the applicant in support of her
request is duly noted; however, we find she has failed to
provide substantial evidence to support her contention that her
laps were mis-counted during the cardio component of the
contested FA. Therefore, in the absence of such evidence, 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.

DPSIM further notes the support memorandum provided by the applicant was not signed by his commander and; therefore, does not confirm its validity. The unsigned memorandum from the applicants commander is noted; however, in the absence of a signature and a copy of his signed fitness score sheet from the FA in question, we find insufficient evidence to warrant disturbing the record.
