RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-03669 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NO ________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: His Fitness Assessment (FA) dated 15 Jul 13 be removed from his records. ________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: He was not given proper credit for the number of push-ups completed. After the initial 20 seconds of the contested FA, his counting partner had calculated a total of 30 push-ups. However, the PT monitor informed the applicant that none of the push-ups already completed counted. As a result, he was credited with zero points for pushups, resulting in an overall composite score of 80.00 and a satisfactory rating. All prior tests were greater than 90 percent and there is no apparent reason why the contested FA should be different. ________________________________________________________________ STATEMENT OF FACTS: The applicant served in the Regular Air Force during the matter under review. On 15 Jul 13, the applicant participated in the contested FA and was credited with 8.00 points for the push-up component; he was credited with an overall composite score of 80.00 points, an overall satisfactory rating. On 14 Jan 14, the Fitness Assessment Appeals Board (FAAB) disapproved the applicant’s request for relief on the basis that there was no AF Form 469, Duty Limiting Condition Report, or AF Form 422, Notification of Air Force Member’s Qualification Status, was provided. ________________________________________________________________ AIR FORCE EVALUATION: AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of an error or an injustice. While the applicant contends that he was not given full credit for the number of push-ups he had completed resulting in a satisfactory rating and overall composite score of 80.00, his request lacks supporting documentation to support his claim. The instructions for completing the push-up component of the FA are outlined in AFI 36-2905 AFGM 2.1 (dated 3 Jan 13). The applicant should have contacted the FA monitor when he believed his push-ups were counted incorrectly. A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSIM 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 14 Feb 14 for review and comment within 30 days. As of this date, no response has been received by this office (Exhibit C). ________________________________________________________________ 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 applicant's 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 and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion the applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice. Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no basis to recommend granting the relief sought in this application. ________________________________________________________________ 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. _______________________________________________________________ The following members of the Board considered AFBCMR Docket Number 2013-03669 in Executive Session on 21 May 14, under the provisions of AFI 36-2603: The following documentary evidence was considered: Exhibit A.
