RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-04477
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her Fitness Assessment (FA) tests administered on 14 September
2011 and 16 September 2011 be removed from the Air Force Fitness
Management System (AFFMS).
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
She did not volunteer to take the second FA administered on
14 September 2011 and was directed by her commander to retake
the sit-up component as well as the full fitness test on
16 September 2011. She was pressured to take the FA in
preparation for Combat Airman Skills Training on 19 September
2011. The direct order from her commander is a direct violation
of AFI 36-2905, Fitness Program, which states, unit commanders
may not mandate airmen retest any sooner than the end of the 90-
day reconditioning period.
In support of the applicants appeal, she provides a Report of
Individual Fitness prepared on 21 December 2011 and other
documentation.
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 captain.
The applicants last seven FA scores are as follows:
COMPOSITE
DATE SCORE RATING
28 April 2010 89.50 GOOD
21 October 2010 91.70 EXCELLENT
14 September 2011 84.00 UNSATISFACTORY
7 December 2011 89.10 SATISFACTORY
13 April 2012 EXEMPT EXEMPT
2 November 2012 95.20 EXCELLENT
27 November 2013 91.70 EXCELLENT
On 1 April 2014, the Fitness Assessment Appeals Board (FAAB)
favorably considered the applicants request to remove the FAs
dated 14 September 2011 (second test) and 16 September 2011 from
the AFFMS.
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial due to a lack of supporting
evidence. The applicant took two FAs on 14 September 2011,
receiving scores of 81.00 and 84.00, failing the sit-up
component of the FAs. She took another FA on 16 September 2011,
receiving a score of 82.10, failing the sit-up component of the
FA.
In accordance with AFI 36-2905, Fitness Program (dated 1 July
2010) AFGM 2.1 (dated 1 July 2011) paragraph 17: RegAF, AFR,
and ANG (Title 10) airmen must retest within 90 days following a
failed FA. Unit commanders may not mandate airmen to retest any
sooner than the end of the 90-day reconditioning period;
however, airmen may volunteer to do so. Retesting in the first
42 days after an unsatisfactory test also requires unit
commander approval since recognized medical guidelines recommend
42 days as the minimum timeframe to recondition from
unsatisfactory to satisfactory status in a manner that reduces
risk of injury. It is the airman's responsibility to ensure
he/she retests before the 90-day reconditioning period expires
(non-currency begins on the 91st day). This guidance supersedes
guidelines established in AFI 36-2905 (dated 1 July 10), para
2.11.1.2.
The DPSIM complete evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit
B.
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The second FA administered on 14 September 2011 is not a valid
test and should have never been recorded in the AFFMS.
The applicants complete response, with attachments, is at
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. After
thoroughly reviewing the evidence of record and noting the
applicant's contentions, we note that the relief sought by the
applicant has been granted administratively. Although there
appears to be a discrepancy between the applicant and AFPC/DPSIM
as to which score is from the second test, we note that only the
test score of 84 from 14 September 2011, identified by DPSIM as
the initial test, remains in the AFFMS. We note this is the
higher of the two scores and, it appears, more advantageous to
the applicant. Based on the applicants request and the
evidence considered, we find no basis for any relief beyond that
granted administratively.
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of an 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.

The 30 Space Wing Fitness Assessment Cell (FAC) would not allow him to take another official AC measurement that same day, so he retook the test on 5 Dec 12. On 4 Dec 12, the applicant took his FA; however, he did not meet the minimum requirement for the AC component with a measurement of 40. On the same day, his commander approved his request to retest within the 42 day reconditioning period in accordance with (IAW) AFI 36-2905, Fitness Program. We took notice of the applicants...

Members must test by the last day of the month, six calendar months following the previous passing test (e.g., if member tested on 15 April, then member must retest on/before 31 October of the same year. With a RNLTD date of 30 May 11, the applicant was not required to test prior to his scheduled FA and was allowed 42 days after the RNLTD date to test, but was not required to do so. DPSIM concludes that the contested FA is a legitimate unsatisfactory score, in accordance with AFI 36-2905,...

The applicant contends that, with approval from the Commander, she retested 6 days after the 8 Mar 11 FA, and 18 days after the 19 Apr 12 FA, with a score of 86.20 and 89.00 respectively. If the applicant had provided a memorandum from her commander stating he mandated these FAs (i.e. 14 Mar 11 and 7 May 12) we could have removed the FA retests. While the applicant has provided medical documentation indicating a medical condition and in her response to the Air Force evaluation, submitted...

He was initially served a Letter of Reprimand (LOR) for failing the FA, which was later rescinded when his commander became aware that he should not have participated in the contested FA.
