Jesus, and I thought the Navy PT tests were a joke. We have a lot of fatties in my unit and I can't stand it. IMO the worst thing the Navy ever did was allowing people to exchange the run for riding a stationary bike. Lots of lazys do that because they can't run. Our minimums are set up by age, and there are alot more of them in the Navy, 18-24 is my age range (24). Been training for buds for the 6 months and got an outstanding high score on my last pt test. 104 push ups, 108 situps, 1.5 in 8:22. and I'm 6'2'' 200lbs and have long arms also.

to like thatgo for it.
let me guess, you did 104/108 in 2 mins. we do ours in one minute. and i would bet you with the our new test you would even get 60 pushups in one minute. we now have government contractors that watch you do them, and if it is not PERFECT BY THE BOOK, is does not count. i have seen serval guy in SF (JTAC, Pararescue, Combat Control, and SOWT) who were doing over 70 something push ups and sit ups under the old standard, not even get to 40 in the new.
by SF did you mean AFSOC?

but with HAWC, it depends on the people giving the test. so will give you more benefit of the doubt and leeway with how far done you have to go. here at Dyess, they are STRICT about it. a JTAC (from Ft Hood) i know said he tough he said his normal 72 P/U. when he was done the staffer said, he did 38. out HAWC personnell want you to be about 7 to 8 inches of the ground. they give you a "perfect push up" thins that clicks when you chest hits it.

It was a pretty good smoke if you give it your all. I enjoyed it, but it doesn't really count for anything with me being in the Air Force, so it's a good pt mix. Most of the days for me are just a run. Movement to contact showed our fatties, ammo lifts showed our weak guys, and movement under fire felt like it just finished us off.

Damn impressive numbers man. But y'all get 2 minutes for your P/U's and S/U's don't you? Very good run time though, **** beats my best by easily a minute (9:34). And yeah, I'm 6' and 190 with monkey arms as well. Deff. makes push-up interesting with long *** arms. My chest usually hits the ground at the same time I'm breaking 90*.

Whats killing people is failing one part fails the whole thing. I know its not hard for most but there are a few people out there that can't do setups or pushups to save their life. My medical squadron is one of them and from last count we have 30% failing now compared to 6 from the old test. Why its the pushups or setups. I got a 95 so im not concerned but I have a troop that couldn't do 25 plus setups his composite score was a 79 but he still failed.
tording99Z28, paraphased a little bit. haha. but i completely agree with what you send. am i in good shape, yes. will i ever get a 90, no. i am 6'1 and 195 pound. the only thing i really like about the new test is they redid the waiste scores. old system with a 35-36" wiast, losing a lot of points. now, if i say at 35, i get max point.
