RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-02104 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NO _________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: Her 23 May 11 Fitness Assessment (FA) be removed from her records. _________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: She practiced doing sit-ups in a certain form and was told she was performing them correctly. However, when she went to take the test the fitness monitor told her that she did not do the sit-ups correctly and that most of them did not count. Because she failed the sit-up portion of the FA, she was told she did not have to perform the run. Thus, since she did not do the run, she has no score. She believes that when it comes to testing people, they should stick to the same rules and not wait until the day of the test to try to correct them. In support of her request, the applicant provides a copy of her Fitness Assessment Score Sheet. Her complete submission, with attachment, is at Exhibit A. _________________________________________________________________ STATEMENT OF FACTS: The applicant is currently serving in the Regular Air Force in the grade of airman first class (E-3). Additional relevant facts pertaining to this application are contained in the letters prepared by the appropriate offices of the Air Force. Accordingly, there is no need to recite these facts in this Record of Proceedings. _________________________________________________________________ AIR FORCE EVALUATION: HQ USAF/A1PP recommends denial. A1PP states that due to lack of conclusive evidence supporting the request or substantiated proof that any violation in policy occurred, it is not recommended to remove the applicant’s 23 May 11 FA score. Additionally, if an airman fails a component at any time during an FA, the Fitness Assessment Cells (FACs) have been instructed to encourage airman to complete their FA and be assessed on all applicable/remaining components; that promotes improving individual fitness levels and provides a specific base line for that respected component for their next FA. The complete A1PP evaluation is at Exhibit B. _________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 29 Jul 11 for review and comment within 30 days. As of this date, this office has received no response. _________________________________________________________________ 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, the Board majority agrees with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force office of primary responsibility and adopts its rationale as the basis for our conclusion that the applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice. Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, the Board majority finds no basis to recommend granting the relief sought in this application. _________________________________________________________________ RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD: A majority of the panel finds insufficient evidence of error or njustice and recommends the application be denied. _________________________________________________________________ The following members of the Board considered AFBCMR Docket Number BC-2011-02104 in Executive Session on 16 Nov 11, under the provisions of AFI 36-2603: By a majority vote, the members voted to deny the request.
