 RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2013-00681
		COUNSEL:  NONE
	XXXXXXX	HEARING DESIRED:  NO

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His Fitness Assessment (FA), dated 17 Dec 2012, be removed from 
the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS).

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

His Abdominal Circumference (AC) was not measured in accordance 
with AFI 36-2905, Air Force Fitness Program, paragraph 7.  The 
staff did not explain that the results of the test were final 
once the Fitness Score sheet was signed.  The Fitness Score 
sheet states ... "concerns must be addressed ... prior to 
departing the facility."  However, this option was not made 
available before he signed the form.  Moreover, he is not a 
trained Physical Training Leader (PTL) and was unfamiliar with 
proper AC measurement techniques.  However, upon discovering 
that his AC was incorrectly measured, he immediately contacted 
his first sergeant, who scheduled him for an AC measurement with 
a certified PTL.  The results of this assessment would have 
changed the FA score from 74.75 (unsatisfactory) to 
79.25 (satisfactory).

In support of his request, the applicant provides copies of his 
Fitness Score Sheet, AF Form 422, Notification of Air Force 
Member’s Qualification Status and a memorandum from his unit 
PTL.

His complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.

________________________________________________________________

THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial.  DPSIM states that the applicant 
took his FA on 17 Nov 2012, achieving a composite score of 
74.75 (unsatisfactory).  While he provided documentation from 
the unit PTL stating his AC measured 38 inches; he has not 
provided documentation from his unit commander indicating 
his/her decision to invalidate the entire FA.

The complete DPSIM evaluation, with attachment, is at Exhibit B.

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

On 29 Oct 2013, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded 
to the applicant for review and comment within 30 days.  As of 
this date, no response has been received by this office (Exhibit 
F).

________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

1.  The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by 
existing law or regulations.

2.  The application was timely filed.

3.  Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to 
demonstrate the existence of error or injustice to warrant 
partial relief.  We note that DPSIM recommends denial stating 
that the applicant has not provided support from his unit 
commander.  However, we find the memorandum dated 21 Dec 2012, 
from the applicant’s PTL that his AC was not measured correctly 
is sufficient to recommend approval. While the applicant 
requests the entire FA be removed, the evidence only supports 
exempting the AC component.  Accordingly, we recommend his 
records be corrected to the extent indicated below.

________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:

The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air 
Force relating to APPLICANT be corrected to show that the AC 
component of his FA dated 17 Dec 2012, be amended to reflect 
“exempt” in the AFFMS.

________________________________________________________________

in Executive Session on 12 Dec 2013, under the provisions of AFI
