@usairforce 🚨 Major alert 🚨
.
Physical fitness tests are evolving as they resume July 1 with only three components: push-ups, sit-ups and the 1.5 mile run.
.
What else is changing?
.
-The waist measurement will no longer be required as part of the PT test
-Scoring will fall into five-year age groups, as opposed to the previous ten
-Alternative strength and cardio testing options will be available in January 2022

@usairforce ⛽ Fueling with the engines on ⛽
.
macdillafb, Florida, Airmen made history with the first ever hot-pit refuel of a KC-135 Stratotanker on base. Hot pitting is when an aircraft pilot flies a sortie, returns, refuels with engines running, then takes off again for another mission. The KC-135 provides the core aerial refueling capability for the #airforce and has excelled in this role for more than 60 years.
