ALTUS AIR FORCE BASE, Okla. -- The 2010 Air Force Fitness changes will be implemented in the Air Force Fitness Management System July 1.

Because of this change, system user maintenance will be preformed July 1-9, and Air Force Personnel Center representatives are asking that only people designated as "Super Users" and "Fitness Information Managers" access AFFMS during this time frame so they can align appropriate users under the correct user roles.

"(The shutdown) should not disrupt daily operations," said Mr. William Radford, Altus AFB Fitness Assessment Cell.

"Do not log into AFFMS to view or print scores or history under 'my fitness' tab or enter scores. Additionally, do not use AFFMS to align or change PASCODES, align user roles under 'manage users' tab, review or edit under 'education/intervention' tab, or run reports or metrics under 'metrics tab'," according to Air Education and Training Command instructions," he added.

AFFMS will be available for normal use July 10.

"When they load the new system it will allow those with access to go into the system and load the new data based off the new system updates," Mr. Radford said. "The whole point of informing people about the shutdown of AFFMs is to keep people off the system so they don't have any issues while they are loading the new info. The system is based off the old standards of PT testing, with the new system it will be loaded with the new standards."
