         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2012-03182

		COUNSEL:  NONE

		HEARING DESIRED: NO

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Her fitness assessment (FA) dated 8 June 2012 be removed from 
the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS).  

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

Her abdominal circumference (AC) measurement was measured 
incorrectly.  She expressed this to the person administering the 
assessment and refused to sign the document which made the test 
incomplete.  She is requesting the assessment be removed because 
the person administering it failed to follow the AFI correctly.  
Her subsequent assessment shows the correct measurement for the 
AC portion of the assessment.  

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, (SSgt), E-5.  

By letter dated 27 July 2012, HQ AFPC/DPSIM requested the 
applicant provide additional supporting documentation to 
substantiate her claim; specifically, a signed memorandum from 
the local FAC stating the facts of what occurred the day of the 
FA and her signed questionnaire for the FA in question (Exhibit 
B).  The applicant submitted copies of her unsigned fitness 
screening questionnaire and email correspondence from a member 
of the unit’s fitness assessment cell (Exhibit C).  

________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

HQ AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial.  DPSIM states the applicant 
provided an email from the FAC staff stating that the 
measurement was given correctly.  They recommend the fitness 
assessment dated 8 June 2012, not be deleted from AFFMS.  

The complete AFPC/DPSIM evaluation, with attachment, is at 
Exhibit D.

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the 
applicant on 1 October 2012, for review and comment within 30 
days (Exhibit E).  To date, a response has not been received.  

________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

1.  The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by 
existing law or regulations.

2.  The application was timely filed.  

3.  Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to 
demonstrate the existence of an injustice.  After a thorough 
review of the evidence of record and the applicant’s submission 
we believe relief is warranted.  The Board notes the Air Force 
office of primary responsibility recommendation to deny, 
however, we believe the applicant has raised reasonable doubt 
regarding the accuracy of the contested fitness assessment.  In 
this respect, we note the abdominal circumference (AC) score of 
the contested assessment represents a significant regression 
when compared to her individual AC scores both prior and 
subsequent to the period under review.  Specifically, her AC was 
measured 4 inches less in the subsequent FA, administered one 
month later. Therefore, in order to preclude the possibility of 
an injustice to the applicant, we recommend that her record be 
corrected as indicated below.  

________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:

The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air 
Force relating to APPLICANT be corrected to show that the 
Fitness Assessment (FA) score dated 28 February 2012 be removed 
from the Air Force Fitness Management System.
