Default Army PT Test Aug 5 - Post results here

Okay, you who enlisted to pass the Army PT test, your next check-in date is tommorrow. And those who are new to this, jump right on in.

Here are the charts to check your score:
http://usmilitary.about.com/od/army/a/afpt.htm
Charts are by gender and age.

Take the test by
1 - push ups in 2 minutes - have someone observe you for form - elbows MUST be at 90 degrees to count with flat body.
10-20 minute rest
2 - sit ups in 2 minutes - hands must remain behind ears with upper body past 90 degrees to count then return after shoulder blades touch floor. The action is up-down-up for each rep.
10-20 minute rest
3 - 2 mile run preferably on a track but treadmill with a .5 incline should be fine.

Post your results:
PASS - publish your score (pass is at least 60 points)
If you fail, please don't publish your score, instead post:
FAIL - if this is your first time then you are done
if this is NOT your first test than post your improvement over the last test for example. push ups FAIL + 3 meaning you did 3 more push ups then the last time you took the test.

We will retest every two weeks until everyone gets to where they want to be.

Good luck, soilders!

Random tid bit--- My Hubby is in Tech school right now with the USAF... they just turned up the heat
with push-ups. They now have to be able to do 42 in 1 min. I think it is just his Squadron that is doing
it, not the entire AF.
