THE PENTAGON — The Army may have a new physical fitness test, but the Navy has countered with a new Combat Fatness Test.

Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy Russell Smith announced the change, saying, “The chiefs are sort of pissed, but it was difficult to get any of them to stand up and walk over here to submit any formal complaints.”
