WEBVTT 00:01.440 --> 00:03.960 I'm Master Sergeant Denver stack . I am 00:03.960 --> 00:06.260 the one 63rd services flight 00:06.260 --> 00:09.470 superintendent . Um and I am in charge 00:09.470 --> 00:12.370 of the wing fitness program . So today 00:12.370 --> 00:15.370 we started our fitness testing again . 00:15.380 --> 00:17.890 Um We've had a long pause uh since 00:17.890 --> 00:20.940 Covid started . So this is our official 00:20.940 --> 00:23.650 start to the fitness assessments 00:23.650 --> 00:25.761 starting up again . And today was our 00:25.761 --> 00:28.240 first Seth change is that members will 00:28.240 --> 00:31.580 see is the increments for the year 00:31.590 --> 00:34.870 increments That it's broken out with 00:34.880 --> 00:37.550 from 10 year , 25 year . And then 00:37.550 --> 00:39.661 within those increments , the scoring 00:39.661 --> 00:41.828 of those categories of your push ups , 00:41.828 --> 00:44.050 sit ups and run have also changed those 00:44.050 --> 00:46.217 break down to 60 total points for your 00:46.217 --> 00:49.630 run , for your max , your max points 00:49.630 --> 00:52.380 for push ups is 20 Points and your max 00:52.380 --> 00:54.324 points for sit ups will be also 20 00:54.324 --> 00:56.491 points for a total of 100 points total 00:56.491 --> 00:58.660 still . So I encouraged the members to 00:58.660 --> 01:00.640 go out there really look at those 01:00.650 --> 01:02.817 changes and see how that affects their 01:02.817 --> 01:05.460 fitness assessment . Another big change 01:05.460 --> 01:07.293 that we've had with the finished 01:07.293 --> 01:09.238 program . Too many members delight 01:09.238 --> 01:11.790 probably is the waist measurement . The 01:11.800 --> 01:14.070 waist measurement is not going away . 01:14.080 --> 01:16.130 However , it is not going to be a 01:16.130 --> 01:18.790 scored component of the assessment 01:18.790 --> 01:21.390 itself . It will be part of just the 01:21.390 --> 01:23.600 height weight and then the waist 01:23.600 --> 01:25.610 measurement of the body composition 01:25.610 --> 01:28.360 part that's not scored . We encourage 01:28.370 --> 01:30.426 and we want to make sure that people 01:30.426 --> 01:33.570 use these these new changes uh to their 01:33.570 --> 01:36.380 advantage and use the diagnostic 01:36.390 --> 01:39.540 testing that's available uh to be able 01:39.540 --> 01:42.330 to you know take away some of that 01:42.330 --> 01:44.730 stress during an official test knowing 01:44.730 --> 01:47.120 that if you are struggling and you you 01:47.120 --> 01:49.287 need to have a good barometer of where 01:49.287 --> 01:51.120 you are . That you could take an 01:51.120 --> 01:53.370 official test to a diagnostic and if 01:53.370 --> 01:55.410 you fail it's not going to count 01:55.410 --> 01:58.600 against you and then you if you do pass 01:58.600 --> 02:01.190 you will be able to use that as an 02:01.190 --> 02:03.550 official score . If you choose the one 02:03.550 --> 02:06.160 thing about the diagnostic itself is 02:06.160 --> 02:08.810 there are parameters to the diagnostic 02:08.810 --> 02:11.032 that members do you need to know and be 02:11.032 --> 02:13.143 aware of . They could only have three 02:13.143 --> 02:16.120 diagnostics within a 12-month period . 02:16.130 --> 02:18.130 So that is something that they will 02:18.130 --> 02:20.130 have to monitor um as they're going 02:20.130 --> 02:22.352 through and doing their diagnostics for 02:22.352 --> 02:24.574 most people as long as they're you know 02:24.574 --> 02:26.797 not within their 15 days and they don't 02:26.797 --> 02:29.019 have any component exemptions , they'll 02:29.019 --> 02:28.720 be able to take advantage of those 02:28.720 --> 02:31.160 diagnostic tests . Yeah so we had a 02:31.170 --> 02:33.281 member that did this first diagnostic 02:33.281 --> 02:36.140 tests . Um They wanted to actually they 02:36.140 --> 02:38.580 were struggling before uh their last 02:38.580 --> 02:41.510 test was unsatisfactory . Uh So they 02:41.510 --> 02:44.110 wanted to kind of do the diagnostic to 02:44.110 --> 02:46.920 see where they are and and and see how 02:46.930 --> 02:49.640 well they're getting ready for his 02:49.650 --> 02:51.870 fitness assessment . Um So we allowed 02:51.870 --> 02:54.220 him to do a diagnostic today And he 02:54.220 --> 02:57.170 ended up scoring a 90 with the new 02:57.170 --> 02:59.730 scoring system and the breakout of how 02:59.730 --> 03:01.786 that worked . So the member actually 03:01.786 --> 03:04.008 chose to use that score as his official 03:04.008 --> 03:06.174 score . So that diagnostic turned into 03:06.210 --> 03:09.400 an official test . And when it comes to 03:09.400 --> 03:11.122 the unit itself , whether your 03:11.122 --> 03:13.233 supervisor , you're the member , your 03:13.233 --> 03:16.320 leadership , that we are creating an 03:16.320 --> 03:19.490 environment that encourages fitness and 03:19.490 --> 03:22.060 we're intervening with the individuals 03:22.060 --> 03:24.171 that are struggling to make sure that 03:24.171 --> 03:26.480 we have a fit to fight . Force members 03:26.480 --> 03:28.647 are number one asset and we don't want 03:28.647 --> 03:30.702 to lose anybody because , you know , 03:30.702 --> 03:32.813 they're they're struggling with their 03:32.813 --> 03:31.960 health . 03:36.740 --> 03:36.940 Yeah .
