AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-01302
XXXXXXXXX COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
The Fitness Assessment (FA), dated 09 Jan 13 be declared void and removed from the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS).
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The results of the contested FA should be declared void because improper testing procedures were followed.
She was instructed not to enter the first lane until all the runners had completed their aerobic portion. She was on her forth lap before the runners were completed. The distance on an official quarter mile track is 400 meters in the first lane and approximately 407 meters in the second lane per lap.
Having to walk the extra meters made the difference in passing or failing her test.
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 technical sergeant (E-6).
On 09 Jan 13, the applicant participated in the contested FA and attained a composite score of 70.88, unsatisfactory because she failed to complete the cardio component of the contested FA.
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.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial, as the applicant has not provided evidence to substantiate his claim.
A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSIM evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit B.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation, with attachments, was forwarded to the applicant on 06 Dec 2013 for review and comment within 30 days. As of this date, no response has been received by this office (Exhibit C).
________________________________________________________________
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 contends the contested FA should be declared void because improper testing procedures were followed during the administration of the cardio component, she provides no documentary evidence, i.e., eyewitness statements from other participants, FAC, or her leadership, to support this contention. Should the applicant provide such evidence, we would be willing to reconsider her request. However, in view of the above and 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.
