Alright teammates — here they are: the updated 2022 PT test components and score charts.

Just like many of the changes we are making, this was an evolution based on 9,000 data points collected from assessing roughly 2,000 Airmen across 23 installations.

From there, we decided to implement the following strength and cardio options:

Cardio
✅Traditional 1.5-mile Run
✅ High Aerobic Multi-shuttle Run

(Yes, we removed the walk option until we are able to standardize the V02 measurement equipment across every installation. We will continue working the logistics and evolution in the meantime. The 2km walk will still remain a component for people on a profile.)

Strength
✅Traditional Push-Ups
✅Hand-Release Push-Ups

Sit-Ups
✅ Traditional Sit-Ups
✅ Cross-Leg Reverse Crunch
✅ Plank

(And yes, the waist measurement is no longer part of the fitness assessment…the Air Force Surgeon General owns that requirement, and will be providing guidance on the program in the coming months)

"Shining Diamond" Edition!
The Dyess Diamonds would like to recognize A1C Quintin Daniel! He is a TMO Outbound Cargo Journeyman from the 7th Logistics Readiness Squadron currently in Gary, Indiana supporting COVID Vaccination Operations. He has tirelessly worked to set up COVID vaccination stations, execute support for Medical Personnel administering vaccinations, and volunteered to help clean up the Merrillville, Indiana community. A1C Daniel is the shining example of a Striker on Display!

Team Dyess,
Please reach out to your 1Sgt or any 1Sgt for assistance. Do Not hesitate to call, text or PM us on this page at anytime.

Stay Safe and Warm.
-Team Dyess Diamonds

Team Dyess,

We have members currently at the base theater organizing lodging for Airmen and family members who do not have working electricity and running water. Please bring your own bedding and food. Pets are allowed in the gym but they must be in a cage. If you have children under 3 or dependents who have medical needs please contact your First Sergeant for lodging accommodations.

The base theater will close at 9pm, and Airmen who need accommodations after the theater closes can go directly to the base fitness center or contact their First Sergeant.
