What does a Unit Fitness Program Manager (UFPM) do?+
The UFPM runs the unit fitness program for the commander and is the liaison between the commander and the UFAC or FAC (AFMAN 36-2905 para. 2.28.1). The UFPM validates each member's FSQ and AF Form 469 status in myFitness and enters exemptions (para. 2.28.3), uploads the most current AF Form 469 and sets the next PFRA due date (para. 2.28.4), starts an AF Form 108 with an FRP appointment after every Unsatisfactory (para. 2.28.7), enrolls members on PFRA Hold in an Adaptive Fitness Program (para. 2.28.8), and notifies the commander when a member reaches one year on PFRA Hold or four Unsatisfactory PFRAs in 24 months (paras. 2.28.8 and 2.28.9). The UFPM also reports the unit's fitness numbers to the commander every month (para. 2.26.7.1).
Who can be a UFPM, a UFAC or a Peer Fitness Leader?+
UFPMs and UFAC members are appointed by the unit commander and must be NCOs or above, or APF-funded civilian equivalents; additional ones may be junior if an NCO supervises them (AFMAN 36-2905 paras. 2.27.1 and 2.28.1). Peer Fitness Leaders are appointed by the unit commander and may be any rank (para. 2.29.1). NAF employees, NAF contractors, APF contractors and ANG State employees can't support the fitness program or conduct assessments (paras. 2.28.1, 2.29.1 and 3.2.1).
What PT score does a Peer Fitness Leader need?+
AFMAN 36-2905 para. 2.29.2 says a PFL will maintain a PFRA of 80 or higher, but also that the appointment is voided for 30 days if the PFL's PFRA drops below 85 or becomes Not Ready, and that reinstatement takes a PFRA of 80 or above plus retraining. The manual doesn't resolve the 80-versus-85 conflict, so ask your FAC or MFL which number your installation applies; 85 or higher satisfies every reading. Civilian PFLs don't take a PFRA, and every PFL needs current hands-on BLS and AED certification (para. 5.4.3).
What are the weather limits for the Air Force PT test?+
Before any outdoor component, AFMAN 36-2905 para. 3.14.8 requires no significant rain (0.10 inch per hour or more), no lightning within 5 nautical miles and a 30-minute wait after the last observed lightning, no hail forecast or reported within 25 miles, wind of no more than 15 mph sustained or 20 mph gusting, an air temperature above 34 °F including wind chill, a WBGT of 86 °F or lower (and, where humidity is under 40%, a dry bulb below 90 °F), and visibility over three-quarters of a mile near traffic. The running surface must be free of snow, ice, standing water a group can't avoid and mud that can't be avoided (paras. 3.14.1 to 3.14.3). Commanders should suspend PFRAs when the Air Quality Index is over 100 or for wildfires, natural disasters or a pandemic (para. 4.4.2).
How many members can one PFRA administrator test at once?+
No more than 12 members for each PFRA Administrator (AFMAN 36-2905 para. 3.15.6.1). The administrator may pair members off as PFRA Monitors to count repetitions and spot-checks their technique. An administrator must never conduct a PFRA alone: someone who isn't testing has to be present besides the members being tested (paras. 3.2.3 and 3.15.6).
Can a phone be used as the stopwatch for the PFRA?+
No. Each PFRA Administrator operates two timing devices, a primary and a back-up, and cell phones are not authorized; a stopwatch must be used as the primary and secondary timer (AFMAN 36-2905 para. 3.15.5).
How long does the FAC or UFAC have to enter PFRA scores in myFitness?+
Five duty days, with the completed FSQ, AF Form 4446 and AF Form 469 (if applicable) uploaded; scores that aren't entered in myFitness are invalid (AFMAN 36-2905 paras. 2.24.10 and 2.27.9). Guard and Reserve units enter them before the next scheduled RSD or UTA. When the illness or injury block on the AF Form 4446 is marked, the scores are held for the medical evaluation and the commander's review (paras. 3.12.2 to 3.12.4).
Can a unit use this roster instead of myFitness?+
No. myFitness is the only authorized system to schedule and score PFRAs (AFMAN 36-2905 para. 7.1), locally developed scheduling tools such as SharePoint or Excel are not authorized (para. 2.24.8), and official results are recorded on the AF Form 4446, which is mandatory (para. 3.15.15). The mock PFRA roster is for unit practice sessions and coaching.
Is the roster data sent anywhere?+
No. The roster, your checklist ticks and the report draft are saved in your browser's local storage on your device; this site never sends them to a server. Use initials or roster numbers rather than names, SSNs or DoD ID numbers: PFRA staff are ordered not to release members' fitness scores, DoD IDs or medical information (AFMAN 36-2905 Attachment 4).
What goes in the UFPM monthly report?+
AFMAN 36-2905 para. 2.26.7 lists the numbers the UFPM reports to the unit commander each month: personnel administered a PFRA; overdue or not tested; Unsatisfactory, Satisfactory and Excellent results; members on PFRA Hold; members enrolled in the Adaptive Fitness Program; members in the Fitness Reconditioning Program, with the length of time enrolled and the number completing it successfully; and the status of the UFAC (if applicable), the PFRA Administrators (if required) and the Peer Fitness Leaders. Follow your wing's format.
