Default Because we can never have too many threads on PT... lol
So here was my random thought during my 4-mile sweat this morning...

If our PT program sucked for the first several years (and some argue it does to this day), with very few units having organized fitness or taking it seriously, and the AF Audit Agency found that the assessments and reporting sucked and confidence in the accuracy of what was being recorded was nil, then how about we shit-can the historical data in AFFMS? With no buy-in to the program for the first couple years, followed-up by rampant "hook-ups" skewing the data, the result is those who got the hook-up and have no record of failing are good to go, while those who were held to the standard have "black marks" on their history, which may prevent them from being considered for jobs where that may be important later in their career... such as Command Chief or other CIP positions.

Yes, we could easily argue the same point about EPRS... but that is something with a bit larger impact. Not sure how far your AFFMS history goes back, but my first record is '04. Maybe if the new AFI does move us in the right direction, in a year or two the rules could be changed to mask the history, and only show the last 5 years?

Just wanted to throw that out there for discussion.

For the record, I have never failed, OR gotten hooked up.
