Air Force Times staff writer Markeshia Ricks reports this week about the Air Force’s new guidance on PT. She writes:
Fail your physical training test four times in two years, and your commander could kick you out. You might have passed the test between the fails, but it won’t matter — and a new PT guidance signed in January makes that clear.
The guidance attempts to remove any uncertainty about airmen who experience ups and downs on the PT test.
“[The failures] do not have to be back to back,” said Capt. Kristina Rennie, a spokeswoman for Air Force fitness, evaluation and promotion policy. “If you have some passes in between, that’s great; but if you meet those four failures in 24 months, you meet the requirement for a discharge recommendation.”
