PFT is today!!

lady recruits working on their PFT

PFT The Physical Fitness Test (PFT) consists of three parts: Male Pull-Ups (max of 20) Female Flexed Arm Hang (max of 70 sec) Crunches (max of 100) 3.0 mile run (Female min 21:00 minutes/max 31:00 minutes) (Male min 18:00 minutes/ max 28:00 minutes) The run times are for ages 17-26

(you get more time if you are older) each event is worth a 100 pts (300 is perfect)

For example a male with 20 pull ups, 100 crunches,

and 18:00 min 3 mile has a PFT score of 300. Each pull up is worth 5 points,

and each minute slower than the minimum is a loss of 6 points

(broken down into 10 sec increments)

and each crunch is worth 1 point. Minimums are for 17-26 year old 3 pull ups/15 sec arm hang 50 crunches 28:00 minute 3 mile run(male)/

31:00 minute 3 mile run (female) not being able to meet any one of these areas means

failure of the PFT even if the other two areas are outstanding.

In order to pass you must also have a

combined score of 135 of all three components. Minimums are for 27-39 year old 3 pull ups/15 sec arm hang 45 crunches 29:00 minute 3 mile run(male)/

32:00 minute 3 mile run (female) not being able to meet any one of these areas means

failure of the PFT even if the other two areas are outstanding.

In order to pass you must also have a combined

score of 110 of all three components.
