**WHAT IS THE PRESIDENTIAL FITNESS TEST?**

It's a challenge. It's a benchmark. And it's back.

Fort Wainwright is proud to be one of the select pilot locations helping bring the Presidential Fitness Test to the next generation. Our Child and Youth Services participants put their determination, discipline and grit to the test through events that measure strength, endurance and physical fitness.

The goal isn't just earning a score. It's building confidence, resilience and healthy habits that last a lifetime.

These young competitors showed up, gave their best effort and proved that excellence starts with a willingness to take on a challenge.

The future is strong, and it's training right here at Fort Wainwright.

This BOSS trip is just one example of what makes Alaska one of the best duty stations in the Army.

Where else can you spend your weekends exploring glaciers, hiking mountains, paddling untouched waters, or chasing adventures that most people only dream about? Alaska offers experiences you simply can’t find anywhere else, and BOSS is always putting together events to help Soldiers get out and experience it.

Have an adventure you’ve been wanting to try? ODR can make it happen. They provide the gear, help with the planning, and make it possible to experience Alaska for a fraction of what you’d typically pay out in town.

Don’t let these opportunities pass you by. Get out, explore, and make the most of your time here.
