Anybody remember the run, dodge, and jump on the Army PT test?

No spending for PT uniforms----:)

CW5 (Join to see), the PT test also included the 150 yard man carry at BCT, Fort Jackson, 1970.

Army PT Test - 1973, Basic Training Ft. Jackson, SC
-Run, dodge & Jump
-Parallel Bar
-Crab Walk
-Sit Ups
-1 Mile Run

That would have been a one mile run at the time those were the five event PT test.

The Run, Dodge & Jump and the Grenade Throw were the two events that were at least reasonably related to actual combat performance -- so, of course, those were the events that the Army eliminated. First they dropped the Grenade Throw in early 1968, then they dropped the RD&J a few years later.

that was like in the Marine Corps they had a (CMC) 7 events one was the HOP SKIP and JUMP..........DO any of you old old corps Marines remember the (CMC)

Woman 3 events that were the same and 2 that were different 1 mile run, shuttle run, run dodge and jump, bent arm hang(men it was something like wall climb with pegs) inverted crawl. Men did monkey bars

And no issued PT uniform until the Banana suits early 80s HaHa

If/when push ups were required females Did them on their knees with ankles crossed.

The problem was it was too expensive to get troops to the course to train. The one can be done anywhere.

In my opinion better than some of the one's since it.
