Could I pass the Air Force physical fitness test?

July 20th, 2009

All I did since Thursday was eat. Well, that’s not entirely true – I also shopped. K’s mother was in town and so K, her mom, and I painted the town red. I had a great time but that did mean I slacked off on my gym routine. So today, after my usual 30 minutes of strength training + 35 minutes on the elliptical, I decided to try and see if I could pass the United States Air Force’s physical fitness test. I know that the standards are changing in a few months so I’m still using the semi-old standards and breakdowns so here goes nothing.

The test consists of a 1.5 mile run, a measuring of the waist, and how many pushups and situps you can do in a minute.

1.5 mile run	15 minutes 45 seconds	27 points
waist	27.5 inches	30 points
pushups	37	8 points
situps	40	7.75 points
Grand Total	72.75

Minimum necessary to pass : 75

I fail
