RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-05096
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her 31 Aug 12 Fitness Assessment (FA) be declared void and
removed from the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS).
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
A Wing Inspector General (IG) investigation into the
administration of her 31 Aug 12 FA concluded the FA should be
deemed invalid. On 11 Oct 12, the her Mission Support Squadron
commander signed a Referral Completion Report recommending she
apply to the AFBCMR to have her FA score removed from the AFFMS.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
_________________ ______________________________________________

*Exempt from all components except abdominal circumference
The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are
described in the letter prepared by the Air Force office of
primary responsibility, which is included at Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial of the applicants request to have
her FA declared void and removed from the AFFMS. The Wing IG
determined a Fitness Assessment Cell (FAC) augmentee improperly
terminated the push-up portion of the applicants 31 Aug 12 FA.
Though not specifically indicated by the applicant, it appears
the FA is being contested based on the push-up component. In
fact, the IGs investigation specifically indicates the push-up
component was prematurely terminated. With that being the case,
the push-up component of the FA should be invalidated. However,
no justification has been submitted to invalidate the entire FA.
This leads us to believe the cardio, abdominal circumference,
and sit-up components were administered in accordance with
AFI 36-2905, Fitness Program. Recommend disapproval of the
request to invalidate the 31 Aug 12 FA; however, recommend
updating the AFFMS to reflect the applicant was Exempt from
the push-up component. If exempt from push-ups, the applicants
composite score would be 73.56 and remain Unsatisfactory.
A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSIM evaluation, with attachment,
is at Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant on 31 May 13 for review and comment within 30 days.
As of this date, no response has been received by this office
(Exhibit D).
________________________________________________________________
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. We took notice of
the applicant's complete submission in judging the merits of the
case. While the Board notes the recommendation from AFPC/DPSIM
that only the sit-up portion of the FA in question should be
declared exempt, the Board determined, based on the evidence
of record, the complete FA score should be declared invalid. In
our view, given the IG finding indicating the push-up component
of the FA was administered incorrectly, the unequivocal support
of her commander, and the fact the applicant was able to attain
a passing score on a subsequent FA, we believe a preponderance
of the evidence supports removal of the contested fitness
assessment score in its entirety. Therefore, we recommend 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 the APPLICANT be corrected to show that her
Fitness Assessment (FA), dated 31 August 2012, be declared void
and removed from the Air Force Fitness Management System
(AFFMS).
