The Air Force is reinstating an altitude adjustment for physical fitness tests. The change benefits Academy personnel as well as Airmen at Schriever Air Force Base, Colo., Peterson AFB, Colo., F.E. Warren AFB, Wyo., Kirtland AFB, N.M., and Buckley AFB, Colo. The altitude correction is a straight-time bonus starting at 18 seconds and increasing minimally depending on the window in which a person finishes. The altitude adjustment is not retroactive and will only be applied to those testing after Jan. 1. For more information, contact your unit fitness program representative.
