Airmen passing PT test with flying colors

Airmen passing PT test with flying colors 

Hopefully the Air Force will stop making such a big deal about PT now! It's already shameful that we had to hire civilian testers. No matter how you try to justify it, the hiring of civilian test proctors is a charge on the integrity of the force. Now that most Airman have stepped up and passed, let's move on to something that really matters--like developing the force or fixing the EPR system. However, I can already see the writing on the wall. I personally think that leadership is using the PT system as a way to force shape and to fix other broken systems--like the EPR system.

PT is a standard and that doesn't mean that you need to have a high failure rate to have high standards. I'm sure
our uniform standard generally has a 99.9% compliance standard. Should be make wearing the uniform more difficult by adding, changing, and replacing how wear are required to wear the uniform in order to weed out bad Airman. No. Let's leave the fitness program as it is and accept that Airman are more physically fit.

What do you think?
