Fit to Fight: A team effort
Senior Master Sgt. Dave Roberts, 917th Mission Support Flight, education and training chief, entices Lt. Col. Charles Morgan, 917th Wing, process manager, through another lap with the proverbial “carrot on a stick” during his fitness test as Capt. Stephanie Kennedy, 917th Wing, fitness coordinator, logs the colonel’s lap times at the fitness center on Barksdale Air Force Base, La., July 12, 2009. The Air Force Fitness Test is designed to test the body composition, muscular strength/endurance and cardiovascular respiratory fitness of Airmen in the U.S. Air Force. As part of the “Fit to Fight” program, the Air Force adopted a more stringent physical fitness assessment; the new fitness program was established on January 1, 2004, and replaces the annual ergo-cycle test that Air Force used before.
