First Sergeants’ Corner
The current Air Force fitness program has been in effect for five years; however, there are still a lot of AF members who struggle from year-to-year just to meet AF fitness standards. Why is that? We are directed to maintain a healthy lifestyle in order to meet AF fitness minimum standards of 75.  But more importantly, we must be physically ready to accomplish the mission. So the responsibility is on each AF member to attain and maintain excellent physical conditioning and to always meet AF fitness standards. But why stop at minimum standards? Since when have we, or should we, accept just the minimum? We should always strive to do our best. After all, one of our Core Values is “excellence in all we do.”
