Like for real we probably cheated on the PRT until they started cracking down on it in like 2014 when they finally stopped letting the individual departments do it and handed it off to diggity coordinators. Even then they didn't give two shits about the push ups and sit up portions.

Couldn't really bullshit the run though. Most people just do the bike because its way fucking easier to get the calories on that than actually do the mile and a half.

Isn't the Gold/Grey/Black thing their attempt at MOS-Specific?

The latest guidance put out makes it vague and ambiguous to who does which, leaving it to the commanders discretion. It also does absolutely nothing to address the fact the new PRT guidelines introduced a few years ago does absolutely nothing to prepare the Soldier for the ACFT.

It’s fucking dumb and a testament to the out of touch good idea fairies here at the pentagon who haven’t done organized unit PT in god knows how long.

Haven't had to do a PT test since my first year in, go Coast Guard.

They did just wise up recently and are offering a system for people who fail weigh-ins that if they pass the PT test, they're gtg.

So that's nice for the fatties at least.

Never mind the fact most units don’t even have the equipment to administer the test properly, let alone train for it.

[Krandor]

Will said pentagon fairies be required to take the new test as well?

You already know the answer to this.

Honestly do your commands even do Organized PT? The nuke community basically flat out doesn't do it until the ship cracks down on it or they force their fatties to do FEP.

Do it fgt

[Krandor]

At least for the Coast Guard, you only have to pass a PT test if you're assigned to a small boat station, on a small boat crew at bigger units, or assigned to Bahrain.

Obviously it's always encouraged to be fit, but they can't and don't require it in any capacity. I'd imagine most of the gym rats at my current unit couldn't pass the run anyways

No way this is true lol

We already have an old unlikeable lady front runner. Why would we want another

[Melena]

Damn the gap between 60 and 100 point scores is huge on those tests! 3 reps of 140 deadlift (lol) vs 340 lbs.

Run two miles in 21:00 (you can literally walk that fast) or 12:45 (seriously hauling ass).

What the fuck? Our police academy has higher requirements, and this was after various cities demanded they town down the requirements as we were failing too many people. The big ones that hang up a lot of people is a 12 minute 1.5 mile run and to do a bench press of your body weight, so if you weigh 180, need to do a 180 bench, if you weigh 115, have to do a 115.

The minimums there give you "60 points"-I don't know if 60 pointing everything is an overall passing grade or not.

This seems like a fair and credible news source. Thanks

i mean

you can

but that’s one hell of a hauling ass walk too

[Zealot]

For the FBI test I did 1.5 miles in about 11:30. I think 12:30 was the highest passing time for men and either 9:30 or 10 flat is the best possible score.

When I was in the Army I got 300(+) on my PT tests (100+ in each of the 3). I think a 60 was the minimum needed in each event. I personally thought the shit was easy. I wonder how much has changed in 15 years.
