Can an Airman have a documented failed fitness test as of the close-out date of their evaluation and still receive an overall "5" Enlisted Performance Report?
Answer: No. The revised AFI 36-2406, "Officer and Enlisted Evaluation Systems" will ensure no Airmen with a referral report (for fitness or other reasons) will receive an overall "5" rating.
How will other personnel actions be affected by a member's fitness category?
Answer: Officers and enlisted members will be required to have a passing, current fitness score to be selected for or attend professional military education. All members must have a current fitness test in order to deploy. There are other restrictions regarding retraining, re-enlistment eligibility and assignment eligibility that could be impacted by a failed fitness score, especially if such a score results in a referral Officer Performance Report or Enlisted Performance Report. The appropriate Air Force instructions will be updated to reflect the impact fitness results have on these personnel programs.
More information about the new Air Force fitness program can be found on AFPC's Web site at, http://www.afpc.randolph.af.mil/affitnessprogram/index.asp. The publish date for the revised, final version of AFI 10-248, Fitness Program, is scheduled for November 2009.
