Alright teammates โ€” here they are: the updated 2022 PT test components and score charts.

Just like many of the changes we are making, this was an evolution based on 9,000 data points collected from assessing roughly 2,000 Airmen across 23 installations.

From there, we decided to implement the following strength and cardio options:

Cardio
โœ…Traditional 1.5-mile Run
โœ… High Aerobic Multi-shuttle Run

(Yes, we removed the walk option until we are able to standardize the V02 measurement equipment across every installation. We will continue working the logistics and evolution in the meantime. The 2km walk will still remain a component for people on a profile.)

Strength
โœ…Traditional Push-Ups
โœ…Hand-Release Push-Ups

Sit-Ups
โœ… Traditional Sit-Ups
โœ… Cross-Leg Reverse Crunch
โœ… Plank

(And yes, the waist measurement is no longer part of the fitness assessmentโ€ฆthe Air Force Surgeon General owns that requirement, and will be providing guidance on the program in the coming months)

Happy National STEM/STEAM Day!

There is a critical need for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) talent for future technology and innovation efforts within our nationโ€™s STEM workforce.

A diversified STEM talent pool will establish the pace of technology advancements and enable the Air Force to avoid technological surprises. A transformational STEM workforce will also direct the path of technological dominance and sustain a combat edge for our armed services.

That's something we like to call .

Afghanistan.

If you've been part of AFSOC in the last 20 years, Afghanistan is almost certainly part of you. I spent the middle third of my career in and out of there between 2002 and 2011, with all the attendant highs and lows. From the very beginning to the very present, I have been responsible for sending countless Airmen into harm's way there, not all of whom returned to their families. In November 2003, I sent home the remains of my teammates and friends in the aftermath of the first fatalities I experienced as a commander. In May of 2011, we killed Osama bin Laden. Highs and lows...lows and highs...I've felt it all.

Like many, I struggle to make sense of it all. There will be history books written about everything from our tactics to our strategy and a host of unanswered questions swirling around in all our minds...all of it will be dissected under the cold, unforgiving light of retrospective assessment. I think I'm still way, way too close to be able to opine on any of this with any degree of certainty. However, there are a few things of which I'm certain.

First, the Airmen of AFSOC have done what they were asked to do magnificently. Valor. Sacrifice. Duty. All of it. I wake up every morning with a profound sense of gratitude to be associated with this command and the Airmen who comprise it. Even today, AFSOC forces continue to answer the call and loyally do the things they're asked to do in these chaotic, turbulent times. From Medal of Honor recipient MSgt John Chapman to the still-serving squadron commander currently on his 19th deployment, AFSOC Airmen have done their duty magnificently.

Second, there will be many hard days...months...years...ahead for many of us as we reflect--often with with deep ambivalence--on how we feel about our experiences in Afghanistan. We'll process this all while continuing to deal with the physical wounds, the neurocognitive wounds, the psychological wounds, and the moral wounds we've suffered along the way.

If, like me, you find yourself trying to put your own experiences into some context which will allow you to move forward positively and productively, I urge you to talk about it. For our still-serving Airmen and families, you can start with chaplains, psychologists, and physicians. For our teammates who have separated or retired since 9/11, there are resources available for you as well. While there is no "one size fits all" answer, there is a size which fits. If you can't find resources through the Preservation of the Force and Families program, the Veteran Affairs Administration, the local Chapel, the Mental Health clinic at your servicing Medical Group, the Airman and Family Readiness Center, or Military OneSource, ask your chain of command or message me directly and let us help you find the right avenue. We've been through too much together as an AFSOC team to try to process these very complex things on our own.

I expect I'm not alone in being reminded of the famous opening lines of "A Tale of Two Cities."

"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair."

I don't know what it all means. But for now, the knowledge that doing one's duty is its own reward will have to be enough.

Little History lesson on Father's Day

Established on 2 July 1926, The US Army Air Corps became the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) on 20 June 1941, giving it greater autonomy from the Army's middle-level command structure. During World War II , although not an administrative echelon, the Air Corps (AC) remained as one of the combat arms of the Army until 1947, when it was legally abolished by legislation establishing the Department of the Air Force

The rifle is affixed with a bayonet and inverted, signifying that the service member went down fighting. The boots signify the service memberโ€™s last march onto the battlefield. Dog tags are imprinted with the service memberโ€™s name and hung from the rifle so their identity will never be forgotten. The helmet is placed atop the rifle representing what the service member stood for and signifying that their battle is now over.

The Battlefield Cross is a sacred symbol amongst military members. Since a funeral is typically not possible during wartime, these symbols serve as a rallying point where surviving members of a unit can mourn and remember their fallen comrades.

Memorial Day is not for the veteranโ€”Soldier, Sailor, Airmen or Marine, but for our fallen comrades. This Memorial Day, reach out to the veterans that you know and give them a simple message: โ€œWe Remember.โ€ We remember our countryโ€™s fallen, your brothers and sisters, and we appreciate and honor their sacrifice.๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ
