The AF PT test is a joke. I agree that if the person that upholds (and gives people the boot for not meeting them) the standards should be accountable for them just as everyone else. So in that regard it's good that the Col is getting the boot. However, what an incredible waste of money and experience the country is losing just because someone's waist is a few inches too large.

The PT test is a force shaping tool, plain and simple. If they really wanted the military to be healthy, they would get rid of the burger kings, taco joints, and sodas, snack bars, etc on base. The PT test is an easy kill to make up for our broken EPR/OPR system.
