Thank you my friend MAJ Dale E. Wilson, Ph.D. for posting this article from Task & Purpose [which I receive via email]
It is always refreshing to see creativity by service members:-)
1. Airmen on social media rejoiced after the Air Force announced on Monday that it would push back physical fitness tests from January to April 2021 to encourage social distancing during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. In particular, the Air Force Reddit page queued up with memes and photos of the greasy food to be enjoyed guilt-free without a fitness test lurking around the New Year corner.
2. Commanders may delay fitness tests beyond April, depending on conditions at the time, the Air Force said. The test has been delayed since March 2020, when coronavirus cases were first ramping up nationwide.
3. The Air Force also permanently removed its widely-despised waist measurements. They will each be credited the 20 points from the waste measurement portion
"When it resumes in April, the fitness test will consist of a 1.5 mile run, one minute of push-ups and one minute of sit-ups, the Air Force said. The composite score will be calculated with full points for the waist measurement portion until system changes can be made."

I find it very sad that anyone would celebrate not being in great physical shape.
