Does anyone have any experience with this new test that’s supposed to be replacing the APFT? What’s the pass/fail mark? What do the raw score numbers mean on the back toss? Are there alternate events? I don’t see these things being doable for people with shoulder/back profiles.

SSG (Join to see) - I'm a bit confused, is 180 total points now a passing score? That's how it looks.
A lot of this stuff can be local fabricated, but it will be interesting to see it implemented.
