[Turbored]

On Monday my company will be the first on Ft Benning to take the new APRT,

From the quick demo they gave us yesterday it consists of,

Up to 60 Yard shuttle sprint, sprint to a block, pick it up, sprint back and place it flat behind the start line, sprint to next block, place it behind the start line, sprint to last block and sprint back to and past the starting line without having to set the block down,

The rower, just like in the preparation drill, start with arms fully extended hands touching the ground, feet together heels flat on the ground, come up arms to parallel with the ground, base of the neck past base of the spine, feet together and flat on the ground, max effort in 60 seconds, no authorized rest positions, if you stop longer than two seconds the event is terminated.

The broad jump, feet must stay flat on the ground until you jump or the jump does not count, whatever part lands nearest the jumping line counts as your distance, this means if you fall backwards after jumping or put your hand behind you after you land, that point would be taken as your jump distance, you are given two attempts, they record whatever your farthest jump was

The push up, conducted the same as the normal APFT except your index fingers must stay within your shoulders, if you move your hands or feet at all after beginning the event it is terminated, if you stop for longer than 2 seconds the event is terminated, if you sag in the middle or flex your back the event is terminated, max effort in 60 seconds,

1.5 mile run,

There is no rest between events with the exception of two minutes to report from the completed push ups to the start point of the run.

So far there are no standards, but they said it is average for someone to be able to jump their own height, and up to a foot beyond your own height is considered good. The age groups are also undefined.

I'm 22, 76in, and 220lbs, I usually score between 280 and 300 on the normal pt test, I have no clue how well I will do on the sprint or the jump but everything else should be decent. I'll post my own and some of my buddy's results afterward.

This should be interesting.
