Learned that my unit as well as many other AMEDD units are having everybody do mandatory early morning PT now in preparation for ACFT. Who's pumped??? 😎

They expanded our mandatory PT from all enlisted personnel to everyone below Colonel (ostensibly) for "esprit de corps" purposes and I am one of four (I think) officers to actually show up. Supposedly we need to get at least 70 points (infantry standard) but my AOC is 60 min and I doubt some of my coworkers will make 70 across the board by October...or ever...

A lot of folks are going to fail the first for record ACFT this fall. My guess is some changes will be made such as a total number of points over the entire test required and the ability to not pass 1 event or so, but still pass overall. I think the leg tuck is going to be the largest fail across the board.

Leg tuck is harder than you think if you’ve never done a leg tuck. TONS of fails coming

Leg tuck is number one failed one at our duty station. I'm gladly welcoming the extra five minutes in the 2m walk/run, though.

Leg tuck is gonna be a killer, no doubt.

Also, the new pushup can be tough due to narrow hand placement if you normally spread your arms out a bit for the current test.

A lot more upper body strength than you expect that's for sure!

yep! I do wide arm push ups usually. Can do 50 of them easily. When I was doing the ones at DCC I got to about 35 and thought I was going to die.
