Army Physical Fitness Test req's would I make them for WOCS?

Question

I am very interested and have dreamed of becoming a UH-60 (originally a Huey) aero-medical Helicopter pilot in the Military for a long time... but I was wondering if anyone could tell me if I would even be competitive physically. I am 21 years old, 5' 9", 197 lbs, ON A TREADMILL I can run 1.5 miles in an average of 11 minutes, max push-ups I have done in 2 minutes were 62. max sit ups I have done is 57 sit ups in 2 minutes. Does anyone know the guidelines for the APFT for males using my above measurements?

Answer 1

the minimum for your age is approx:

1600min 2 mile

52 pu in 2 min

42 su in 2 min

you have to exceed these in order to be competitive

basic training chart:

previous active duty chart:

http://www.la.ngb.army.mil/156BAND/apft....

the active duty has change over the last 2 years but not significantly so use it as a guide only.

rule of thumb:  60% in each event is passing.  50% in basic.

added note, treadmill results are always deceiving.  You must go out on the street and time yourself to get a true idea of your shape.

No exceptions to weight except of course using the alternative body fat standards (if u don't meet weight, u must meet BF standards).  I can tell you that you're allowed 24% body fat as a male @ 21years of age.  You can find your body-fat my measuring your height, neck and abdomen.  

Use this program to get an idea.  Use soft tape measure, not hard or construction type tape measures.

Good Luck!!

Answer 2

If you always been heavy and don't look it, they will do a tape test at MEPS.  That gets the body fat and if you exceed it you will have to lose weight or in some cases they give you a waiver.
