(Continued from Air Force Technical School Restrictions )
Airmen may be "phased back" for receiving an unsatisfactory rating from their MTL. Airmen who have been phased back will progress in phase as determined, in writing, by the training/ operations group commander. Airmen who have been phased back to Phase I may be held in Phase I for a maximum of 30 days. Airmen will not be phased back solely for failing to satisfactorily progress academically.
To remain in Phase III, Airmen must pass the monthly timed 1.5-mile run and established crunch and pushup standards (for the timed 1.5-mile run is 11:45 minutes for males and 13:45 minutes for females; the 1-minute pushup standard is 45 for males and 27 for females; and the 1-minute crunch standard is 45 for males and females). Airmen not meeting the established standards will be required to retest within 1 week. (All portions will be reaccomplished.) If the established standards are still not met after the retest, Airmen will be placed in Phase II until they meet the established standard. Upon meeting the standard, Airmen will be returned to their previous phase.
