APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His fitness assessment (FA), dated 15 April 2012, be removed
from the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS).
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His waist was measured at 37.50 on 11 September 2011 and his
body mass index (BMI) was 27.9. On 15 April 2012, his waist was
measured at 39.50 despite a BMI of 28.0 and his weight having
decreased by 2 pounds. When he pointed out this discrepancy, he
was told that it was accurate and to sign the form. His waist
was measured again on 15 July 2012 and it measured 35.50. His
weight was 194 and his BMI was 26.7 showing the trend.
In support of his appeal, the applicant submits his AFFMS print
out.
The applicants complete submission, with attachment, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________

The applicant is currently serving in the Air Force Reserves in
the grade of colonel.
The applicants last five FA results are as follows:
Date Composite Score Rating
3 Mar 13 75.50 Satisfactory
14 Jul 12 88.00 Satisfactory
*15 Apr 12 58.50 Unsatisfactory
11 Sep 11 75.50 Satisfactory

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial. Due to the absence of
substantiating documentation, the applicants claim could not be
validated. The applicant has not provided evidence to support
an error or injustice.
The complete DPSIM evaluation, with attachment, is at Exhibit B.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant on 24 July 2013, for review and comment within 30 days
(Exhibit C). As of this date, this office has received no
response.
________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by
existing law or regulations.
2. The application was timely filed.
3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to
demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice. After a
thorough review of the evidence presented, we are not persuaded
that the fitness assessment is erroneous or unjust as recorded.
As such, we agree with the opinion and recommendation of the Air
Force office of responsibility and adopt its rationale as the
basis for our conclusion that the applicant has not been the
victim of an error or injustice. In the absence of persuasive
evidence to the contrary, we find no compelling basis to
recommend granting the relief sought in this application.
________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:
The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; that
the application was denied without a personal appearance; and
that the application will only be reconsidered upon the
submission of newly discovered relevant evidence not considered
with this application.

In accordance with AFI 36-2905, Fitness Program, to determine overall fitness, the Air Force uses an overall composite fitness score and minimum scores per three component areas: Aerobic Fitness (1.5 mile run), Body Composition (abdominal circumference measurement), and Muscular Fitness (number of push-ups and sit- ups completed within one minute each). On 24 Aug 12, an AF Form 469, Duty Limiting Condition Report, was issued which restricted the applicant from performing activities that...

She was re-measured a week later by a different FAC member [witnessed by the Unit Fitness Program Manager (UFPM)], and her measurements were, height (66 inches) and waist (30.5 inches). DPSIM states that the applicant has not provided sufficient evidence that would indicate the 5 Sep 12 AC measurement did not comply with the Air Force Instruction. The complete DPSIM evaluation, with attachment, is at Exhibit C. ________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT'S...

While the applicant provided AF Forms 422, Notification of Air Force Members Qualification Status, dated 2 May 2011, 11 October 2011, and 29 January 2012, which exempted her from the 1.5 mile run, pushups, and sit-up components of the contested FAs, she was evaluated on the height, weight, and abdominal circumference in accordance with her profile. Therefore, we find it reasonable to conclude that had her condition been timely diagnosed, competent authority would likely have exempted her...

RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-03771 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NO APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: His 18 Jul 13 Fitness Assessment (FA) be declared void and removed from his records. Therefore, in view of the fact the evidence before us indicates the applicants AC measurement has never been above 35.5 inches (2006), and his AC measurement was recorded as 32.5 inches during an FA taking place only days after...

This logic also concludes a medical condition causing weight gain would cause an increase in AC. She should have never taken the walk test while her dosage was still being adjusted and the FA should be invalidated based on the solid medical evidence presented. While we note the applicant requests the entire FA dated 25 Apr 2012, be removed, the AF Form 422 reflected that she was cleared to test using AC and she has not provided substantial evidence to persuade us otherwise.
