RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-04687
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
_
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her Fitness Assessment dated 29 Aug 12 be removed from the Air
Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS).
________________________________________________________________
_
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
Her fitness score was entered into the AFFMS after the 5-day
window without a source document (score sheet). She was told
that the test did not count because of a contested AC
measurement. When she had her AC measured, she was 3-inches
larger than what she typically measures at. She decided to wait
until the rest of the females were measured so that she could
get remeasured. However, she was denied the chance to remeasure
because she left the room; she had not been told that she was
not supposed to leave the room prior to the start of the
testing. After she discussed the situation with her
superintendent, she was told that she would be rescheduled for
FA testing the next available testing day.
She destroyed the official testing score sheet because she was
told the test on 29 Aug 12 would not count because of what had
happened.
She was tested on 5 Sep 12 and her AC measurement was 3-inches
less. She received an 84.80, which is a satisfactory score.
She checked the fitness calculator on 2 Oct 12 and noticed the
29 Aug 12 FA test had been entered into the AFFMS. Her
erroneous waist measurement was updated without an original
source document.
Her complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.

STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant is currently serving in the Regular Air Force in
the grade of master sergeant.
The applicants last five FA scores are as follows:
DATE RESULT
4 Aug 11 SATISFACTORY
29 Dec 11 SATISFACTORY
27 Jun 12 SATISFACTORY
* 29 Aug 12 UNSATISFACTORY
5 Sep 12 SATISFACTORY
* Contested FA test.
The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are
contained in the letter prepared by the appropriate office of
the Air Force, which is at Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
_
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial. The governing instructions states
that FA results must be entered into AFFMS within 5 duty days.
The applicant received an email asking her to return her fitness
score to the Fitness Assessment Call (FAC) Manager; however, she
says she disposed of the score sheet. She had no right to
destroy an official test score sheet without authorization.
The complete DPSIM evaluation is at Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
_
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
She was not directed to take any action with the score sheet;
therefore, she was not aware of any authorized or unauthorized
actions associated with destroying it. It was not until 5 Sep
12 that the score sheet was requested to be returned to the FAC.
Additionally, she provides an email that shows when the score
was entered into the AFFMS (10 Sep 12), which was after the
required timeline. She feels that because the unsatisfactory
score was entered into her record without her knowledge and
without her official acknowledgement or source document, and 13
days after the fact is grounds for this FA test to be removed.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
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. Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to
demonstrate the existence of error or injustice. After a review
of the evidence of record and the applicants submission, we
believe that full relief is warranted. The Board notes the Air
Force office of primary responsibility recommends denial;
however, the Air Force did not have a source document when the
applicants UNSATISFACTORY FA score was entered into the
AFFMS. Additionally, although the applicant should not have
destroyed the source document from the test in question, we
believe there may have been a misunderstanding when she was told
that she would have another opportunity to retake the test.
Therefore, based on the fact that it appears to have been an
error on part of the Air Force as well as the applicant, we
believe the proper relief is to remove the entire FA score dated
29 Aug 12. Moreover, although there is a presumption of
regularity in the operation of governmental affairs and that as
such, all officers of the government are presumed to have
exercised their duties in accordance with law and policy, we
find the applicant has provided sufficient evidence, i.e., her
personal statement and associated email traffic, to overcome
this presumption. Consequently, we recommend that the
applicants 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 29 August 2012 be declared
void and removed from the Air Force Fitness Management System.
