AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-00330
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His 12 Sep 12 Fitness Assessment (FA) be declared void and
removed from the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS).
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The Fitness Assessement Cell (FAC) Physical Training Leader
(PTL) who administered his waist measurement was not properly
trained and he was not informed that a second FAC PTL could
administer the waist measurement.
The applicant's 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 master sergeant (E-7).
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.
Furthermore, Attachment 2, USAF Fitness Test Scoring, of the AFI
reflects males under the age of 30 must meet minimum value in
each of the four components, and achieve a composite point total
greater than 75 points. The passing minimum component for the
abdominal circumference (AC) measurement for a male between the
ages of 30 and 39, is less than or equal to 39 inches.
On 12 Sep 12, the applicant participated in the contested FA,
attaining a composite score of 86.30. He did not meet the
minimum component for the AC measurement, which constituted an
unsatisfactory assessment. His AC measurement was 39.50 inches.
On 19 Sep 12, the applicant waived his 42 day conditioning
period and participated in a retest FA, attaining a composite
score of 88.50. His AC measurement was 37 inches.
The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are
contained in the letter prepared by the appropriate office of
the Air Force, which is attached at Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial, indicating the applicant failed to
demonstrate a clear error or injustice. The applicant has not
provided sufficient documentation to support his claim. There
is no documentation from the FAC team indicating the FAC PTL was
not properly trained.
A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSIM evaluation, with attachments,
is at Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANTS REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant on 18 Oct 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 an error or injustice. We took
notice of the applicants 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
(OPR) and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion
the applicant has not been the victim of an error of injustice.
Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find
no basis to recommend granting the requested relief.
________________________________________________________________
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.
