RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-05047
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His 12 Oct 12 Fitness Assessment (FA) be declared void and
removed from the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS).
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The fitness monitor incorrectly counted the number of laps he
completed during the fitness assessment. He was performing the
one and half mile run on an indoor track and was required to
complete 11 and 3/4 laps. While running what he believed was
his last lap the evaluator informed him he had another lap to
complete. Upon completing the lap he voiced his concerns
regarding the number of laps he completed. The evaluator told
him the count was correct. The time keeper stated he verified
the count and it was correct. He felt he had to sign the
evaluation certificate due a possible retest in 5 days and an
upcoming temporary duty assignment.
In support of his request, the applicant provides a copy his Air
Force Individual Fitness Assessment History.
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 technical sergeant (E-6).
In order to receive a satisfactory rating the applicant needed
to earn an overall composite score of 75 or greater along with
the minimum value in each of the four components: Aerobic
Fitness, Body Composition, and Muscular Fitness.
On 12 Oct 12, the applicant completed the contested FA and
attained an overall score of 71.50; however, as he completed the
cardio component of the FA in 13:41, which is above the maximum
time allowed for his age group of 13:14, he attained an overall
unsatisfactory assessment.
The applicants last five cardio and FA results are as follows:

On 6 Dec 12, AFPC/DPSIM requested the applicant provide
additional documentation to substantiate his claim, specifically
a signed memorandum from the testing administrators commenting
on the circumstances of the run portion of the contested FA.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of
an error or injustice. Other than his own assertions, the
applicant has not provided any documentation to support his
request. Absent evidence to substantiate the applicants
request, the validity of his claim cannot be determined. Also,
based on applicant's fitness history, the run time for the
contested FA is within his normal range.
A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSIM evaluation 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 May 13, for review and comment within 30 days.
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. Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to
demonstrate the existence of error or injustice. We noted the
recommendation by the Air Force office of primary
responsibility. However, after thoroughly reviewing the
applicants submission and his accounting of the contested
Fitness Assessment, we find it reasonable to conclude that the
cardio component of the contested FA was erroneously
administered. In this respect, we note the time recorded is
inconsistent with his performance in past and subsequent FAs,
which he easily passed. Therefore, to preclude the possibility
of an injustice to the applicant, we recommend his 12 Oct 12
Fitness Assessment score be removed from the AFFMS.
________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:
The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air
Force relating to the APPLICANT be corrected to show that the
Fitness Assessment, dated 12 October 2012, be declared void and
removed from the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS)
database.
