Chief Master 
Sergeant of the Air Force Gerald R. Murray led a panel of command chiefs at AFA’s Air & Space Conference in Washington, D.C. One topic raised was whether the Air Force planned to link documented physical fitness levels to performance reports and, ultimately, promotion. The answer from Murray: Nothing is final but the service has a number of proposals under review. He says that staying fit is “a readiness issue for us, and we’re not going to back away from that.”
The Air Force wants to promote working out, healthy eating habits, and a holistic approach to well-being for both Airmen and Guardians as part of a new “Culture of Fitness” initiative announced Sept. 18.
