AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-00931
xxxxx COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
The Fitness Assessment (FA), dated 17 Jan 13 be declared void and removed from the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS).
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The person that counted the push-up and sit-up components had a lack of integrity, which precluded her from obtaining a satisfactory overall rating.
She waived the 42-day waiting period for retesting and achieved an excellent overall rating on her subsequent FA.
The applicants 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 Senior Airmen (E-4).
On 17 Jan 13, the applicant participated in the contested FA and attained an unsatisfactory score, as she failed to complete the sit-up component of the contested FA. The minimum requirement for her age is 38 sit-ups and she successfully completed 35, which caused the unsatisfactory score.
On 22 Jan 13, the commander approved the applicants request for a waiver of the 42-day waiting period to retest after receiving an unsatisfactory FA score. The applicant tested 13 days after the original FA and received a composite score of 90.10 and an excellent rating.
The applicants last five FA results are as follows:

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). Military members receive a composite score on a 0 to 100 scale based on the following maximum component scores: 60 points for aerobic, 20 points for body composition, 10 points for push-ups and 10 points for sit-ups. To determine individual composite fitness scores the Air Force uses age and gender specific fitness score charts. An unsatisfactory is a composite score less than 75 and/or one or more component minimums are not met.
On 6 Nov 13, the Fitness Assessment Appeals Board (FAAB) denied relief to the applicant indicating that there was insufficient evidence to support her claim.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial and states, in part, that although the applicant provided a memorandum, dated 22 Jan 13, signed by her unit Commander stating that he waived the 42-day waiting period for the FA retesting, she has not provided documentation from the Fitness Assessment Cell (FAC) Physical Training Leader (PTL) indicating there was an error in administering the sit-up component of the contested FA.
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 6 Dec 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. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the existence of error or injustice. We took notice of the applicant's complete submission in judging the merits of the case; however, we agree with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force office of primary responsibility and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion that the applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice. While the applicant is claiming that the person counting the push-up and sit-ups components had a lack of integrity, there was no letter of support from the commander requesting that the FA be removed from her records. Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no compelling basis to recommend granting the relief sought in this application.
________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified the evidence presented did not demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; the application was denied without a personal appearance; and the application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this application.
