SAN ANTONIO – Airmen will soon see a block on performance reports indicating how well they meet fitness standards.
Lt. Gen. Roger Brady, deputy chief of staff for manpower and personnel on the Air Staff, told Air Force Times on Friday that the change is coming soon, but he didn’t know an exact date.

The change is another step in the effort to improve the overall fitness of the force, General Brady said.

“If it’s important to be fit, do we evaluate fitness? In the past we haven’t, but we’re about to,” he said.

The fitness block will be a pass-or-fail scenario and won’t have a direct effect on performance report scores.

The intent is to make fitness part of the overall evaluation but to give it neither too much nor too little importance.
“We want fitness to have the right place on the form,” General Brady said.

Although in the past officials have said commanders eventually could have the fitness of their unit included as part of their evaluations, there is no plan to do that right now, General Brady said.
