Air Force members from Tyndall Air Force Base run here April 17 in an attempt to "Beat the Boss." The purpose of the competition was to give extra incentive to score excellent during physical training testing by beating the 325th Fighter Wing commander's score of 93.5. If accomplished, those Airmen would receive a three-day pass. A total of 105 Airmen competed, and 75 of them "Beat the Boss." A perfect 100 score was acheived by 31 of these Airmen. All Airmen who beat the score were recognized by the wing commander at the base's "Spring Fling" event in Heritage Park. (U.S. Air Force photo/Airman 1st Class Veronica McMahon)
