New PT test?

[jrm1988]

So, my unit is set to mob' next year and from what I've heard, you take a PT test when you mod... which I think is pointless being I just took one in Oct...

but my friend that just deployed, said it's the new PT test..

anyone know the standards?

[Mom's Mistake]

I never took a PFT when I mobilized. I've heard of units doing a PFT for whatever reason. But the unit I'm with currently did not.

I could be mistaken, but I don't believe the new standards out yet. Here is an article by the Army Times http://www.armytimes.com/news/2011/0...ew-pt-030411w/.

I think this may be a case of something being lost as the information is passed along. They may have done it as a "test unit" or something, but there isn't anything official out yet.

This is correct. I have taken the new PRT twice so far, once at BOLC and again soon after my unit received our MOB order.

What did you think of it?

There are positive and negative aspects,

Sustains:
Rower, good overall abdominal test, plus no straain on the neck. Still would have preferred crunches.
Sprints, good agility and reaction time test.
Standing long jump, good core strength test.
Improves:
Pushups, does not test ones endurance strength.
Mile and a half run, again not an endurance test (prefer the Marines 3 mile run).

I saw your other post too so I'm going to assume that this post just came out miss-worded and you understand that you can't take a physical fitness test online.

To answer your other post. You don't take a PT test to join, you just need to meet weight requirements. You wouldn't take your first PT test until 1-1-1 at RSP after you join.

Find a recruiter in your area through nationalguard.com and they can explain the basics too you.

I'd have to say that qualifies for a new signature.

The other day, I saw a buddy of mine in what appeared to be a game where he was getting interrogated and beaten.

That *game* was online SERE training.

Not saying anything...but I'm just saying.

Back to the OP, I was part of the control testers when they released the new APRT or Army Physical Readiness Test. It's not a difficult test by any means, and I hope they do make it harder by bringing in pull ups and increasing the 1.5 mile to 2...Although the 4 mile and 12k that the SMA has talked about is a little daunting.

This is a mandatory pre-mob course. It takes about 6 hours so there is a bit of torture to it.
