			HEARING DESIRED:  NO

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

The second Fitness Assessment (FA) dated 3 Oct 10 be declared void and removed from the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS).

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

The FAC input the push-up and sit-up scores incorrectly causing the overall score of unsatisfactory, and then fixed their mistake by re-entering the test 
scores correctly leaving the contested FA in AFFMS.

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

________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant is currently serving in the Air National Guard in the grade of master sergeant (E-7).

On 3 Oct 10, applicant participated in the contested FA and attained a satisfactory score (81.50) completing all four components.


A similar request was considered and denied by the Fitness Assessment Appeals Board (FAAB), on the basis the applicant did not provide documentation from 
the FAC personnel stating the scores were entered into AFFMS incorrectly or provide the original score sheet.







The applicant’s last six FA results are as follows:

Unsatisfactory (minimum SU)
*3 Oct 10

*3 Oct 10
78.90

* Contested FA

In accordance with guidance at the time of contested FA, AFI 36-2905 (1 Jul 10), paragraph 1.20.2.5., “FAC documents FA results on a hard copy score sheet (see sample score sheets at Attachment 18), signs the score sheet, and obtains member’s signature on the score sheet, acknowledging run/walk time, abdominal circumference measurements, and muscular fitness repetitions. FAC provides a copy of the signed score sheet to member for their personal records.”

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial and states, in part, the applicant did not provide documentation of an invalidation memorandum from the unit commander or FAC stating an error entering the scores.

A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSIM evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit B.
______________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation, with attachment, was forwarded to the applicant on 21 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.	Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice. After thoroughly reviewing the evidence of 
record and noting the applicant’s contentions, we believe she has met her burden of establishing the contested FA entry should be removed from the AFFMS.  
The FAAB disapproved the request, stating the applicant did not provide documentation from the FAC or the original score sheet and AFPC/DPSIM recommended 
denial based on a lack of supporting evidence.  While we note the applicant did not provide this documentation, we recognize that AFFMS will not allow for 
system corrections at the base level and given the contested FA was dated in 2010 it is likely that she would not be able to produce the documentation the 
OPR requests, nor is it required due to the nature of the case.  Furthermore, it is apparent that two entries were made in AFFMS for the contested FA and 
evident the correct score would have been entered in after the incorrect one indicating that she did in fact pass the contested FA.  Given the evidence 
that a mistake was obviously made when inputting the scores, we recommend the applicant’s records be corrected as indicated below. 
________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:

The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force relating to the APPLICANT be corrected to show that the Fitness Assessment, dated 
3 Oct 2010 that reflects a composite score of 78.90 be declared void and removed from the Air Force Fitness Management System.
