Face of Defense: ‘Sgt. Ken’ Urges Enlisted Leaders to Stress FitnessBy Army Master Sgt. Bob Haskell
Special to American Forces Press Service
SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y., April 30, 2008 – The Army Physical Fitness Test would be a lot more demanding if “Sgt. Ken” was in charge. It would, in his world, gauge soldiers’ ability to do a lot more than perform a mandatory number of push-ups and sit-ups in two minutes and run two miles within a required time. The test would determine soldiers’ fitness for combat, if Sgt. Ken had his way.
