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 applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at 
Exhibit A. 

 

_________________ ______________________________________________

primary responsibility, which is included at Exhibit C.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial of the applicant’s 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 applicant’s 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 IG’s 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 applicant’s 
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 
applicant’s 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).
