Wow... yes. Basic, AIT, and then for the rest of your career whenever they feel like doing a record APFT.

SGT Joseph Gunderson - I laughed at “wow”. I had the the same reaction. Just...wow.

At a minimum of once a year, but more often like once every 6 months........and that is just for record. There are also diagnostic APFTs........which could happen almost whenever

Throughout your career, you will be taking the physical fitness test. It does not stop at AIT.

Guess that depends on how long you'd like to serve? What you doing on social media while in basic training anyway? Pretty sure it's not allowed but ask your Drill Sergeants. They'll square you away!!!

Be ready to do PT and take the APFT the rest of your career. This is the U.S. Army, we fight wars and need to maintain ourselves physically to accomplish our mission.
