I have just finished up my PT test, here are my results:

push-ups in two mins: 106
sit-ups in two mins: 91
2 mile run: 12 mins 19 sec
chin-ups: 16

You have a good PT baseline to build on. Never, never quit!

Welcome. Who graded your form on this PT test? Unless you're an absolute animal I suspect those numbers will be much lower when graded properly.

Regardless, drive on, listen to the advice given and get at it.

Ranger Cams, the PT test was graded by a fellow recruit here in my town. We because friends at MEPS and have been training ever sense. If you would prefer I can do another PT test and have it graded by my recruiter directly. Also I am sorry it took me so long to respond I have been using most of my time to read the "five mentees report here" thread.

Respectfully, Devon.

No apologies needed, your reply was timely enough.

It's good that you're already training with a fellow recruit, but it would only benefit you both to have someone with a solid background of taking and grading PT tests with knowledge of the standards. It'll give you a more solid idea of what needs improvement.

True dat. Most civilians don't realize there is a standard for for doing push-ups(and pull-ups) , and that most people do them incorrectly. There is a reason for it. It requires much more endurance and strength to do them properly. When done right, it is actually a really good total body exercise, and works your core well. I'd wager that score drops almost by a third, but it is still a good start.
