mm hmm . This is an Air Force report .

00:07.710 --> 00:09.543
Heavy operations , tempos , long

00:09.543 --> 00:11.599
deployments and that little block in

00:11.599 --> 00:13.766
the performance report have forced air

00:13.766 --> 00:16.099
men to put fitness on a whole new level .

00:16.099 --> 00:18.043
But as Staff Sergeant Trevor Pedro

00:18.043 --> 00:19.932
reports for one airman , physical

00:19.932 --> 00:22.154
fitness has always been at the front of

00:22.154 --> 00:24.154
his mind . This is weight lifting ,

00:24.154 --> 00:26.266
something Senior Master Sergeant Troy

00:26.266 --> 00:28.599
Saunders has been doing for a long time ,

00:28.599 --> 00:30.560
most of three decades since I was

00:30.570 --> 00:32.681
roughly 10 years old . When , shortly

00:32.681 --> 00:34.920
after the 1976 Olympics , I decided ,

00:34.920 --> 00:37.031
Hey , that's what I want to do with a

00:37.031 --> 00:39.087
larger emphasis on airman's physical

00:39.087 --> 00:41.253
fitness . Most of the force make their

00:41.253 --> 00:43.364
way to the gym at least three times a

00:43.364 --> 00:45.420
week . And I think it's a good thing

00:45.420 --> 00:47.642
because of anything people will get out

00:47.642 --> 00:47.290
of this is when they leave their force ,

00:47.290 --> 00:49.346
whether it's four or 30 years , they

00:49.346 --> 00:51.512
probably develop some good habits that

00:51.512 --> 00:53.568
will help them for the rest of their

00:53.568 --> 00:53.230
life . A lot of people ask me , what's

00:53.230 --> 00:56.530
it take to get to this level ? I say 15 ,

00:56.530 --> 00:59.010
20 years . You know , Staff Sergeant
