Re: New Army PT Tests

I was just about to ask about this seems like a new approach to deciding an enlistees physical qualifications for his/her MOS. I guess I should start incorporating long jumps and ball tosses in my routine.

Re: Introduction-Juan

Ranger Cams you stated to construct a short response under 400 words stating what shin splits are and what I could do to correct them for PT. As for the posting in the APFT section that was my fault as I rushed to ask questions on something I already posted a thread on ignoring the fact I already as...
