Roger, Ranger Affirm!

My most recent self-administered PT test (20140116) was as follows:

push-ups (2:00)- 87
sit-ups (2:00)- 93
2 mile run- 12:54
pull-ups- 14

Pretty good!

[Jim]

Now that I hit a 300/300 score my goals are a 12:30 2 mile run, 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, and 18 pull-ups.

Back in my youth, I regularly ran 12:00 with boots. But that was because the saber-tooth tigers were fast! Never, never quit!

The reason I pay attention to the pull-up is that you will be required to perform them in order to begin basic airborne training. The emphasis on upper body strength is you must be strong enough to pull the risers in order to direct the direction of your parachute decent. We have had some of our young men fail to make the cut to begin airborne training. Never, never quit!
