AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-04429 

 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

His fitness assessment (FA), dated 14 September 2012, be removed 
from the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS). 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

His abdominal circumference scores were incorrectly recorded. 
His score was: 37, 38 and 38. Per AFI 36-2905, Fitness 
Program, the abdominal circumference (AC) measurement should be 
taken three times and each measurement recorded, rounding down 
to the nearest ½ inch. If any of the measurements differ by 
more than one inch from the other two, take an additional 
measurement. 

 

The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at 
Exhibit A.

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

The applicant is currently serving in the Air Force in the grade 
of staff sergeant. On 14 September 2012, the applicant 
completed an AC only fitness assessment; he was exempt from the 
other components. According to the Fitness Assessment Results 
form submitted by the applicant his AC measurements were: 38, 38 
and 38 which yielded a score of 14.4. His overall FA score was 
72.0 (Unsatisfactory). 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial. The applicant believes his AC 
measurements were 37, 38 and 38. Upon review of his score 
sheet, his AC measurements were 38, 38 and 38. This resulted in 
an overall 38 inches AC measurement. The AC measurement should 
not be removed from AFFMS. 

 

The complete DPSIM evaluation, with attachment, 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 October 2012, for review and comment within 
30 days (Exhibit C). 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 an injustice. After a thorough 
review of the evidence presented, we are not persuaded that the 
fitness assessment is erroneous or unjust as recorded. As such, 
we agree with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force 
office of responsibility and adopt its rationale as the basis for 
our conclusion that the applicant has not been the victim of an 
error or injustice. In the absence of evidence to the contrary, 
we find no compelling basis to recommend granting the relief 
sought in this application. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT: 

 

The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not 
demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; that 
the application was denied without a personal appearance; and 
that the application will only be reconsidered upon the 
submission of newly discovered relevant evidence not considered 
with this application.
