'Today's Air Force' features Air Force builders

  • Published
This week's edition of "Today's Air Force" highlights a self-sufficient unit that builds from the ground up through blistering heat, high winds, and sandstorms.  These Airmen work long hours; establishing shelters and personnel tents, most often in Afghanistan or Iraq.

Also featured is a Fit for Fight segment. A group of Airmen is trying out a new program called Total Fit. This program delivers a total body workout while reducing injuries.

And see how our pilots earn their wings; a change in tradition.

The 30-minute, weekly news show can be seen every day on The Pentagon Channel, American Forces Radio and Television Service stations around the world, and is available via podcast at http://www.af.mil/library/podcast.asp. The show also airs on more than 100 public cable-access stations within the United States. If you would like your local public access station to carry this program, send a request to AFNEWS.marketing@afnews.af.mil.
