The Army Standard for APFT is 180 (60 in each event)
Airborne Units the standard is usually 210 (70 in each event).
If you score a 181 in a regular unit or a 211 in an Airborne unit (or any unit who holds to higher standards) would that mean you would receive an excellence(exceeds standard) or would you still rate your NCO Success(meets standards) in physical fitness?
(for discussion sake, APFT is the determining factor and your NCO is squared away on military bearing )

I've heard in previous NCOPDs from a CSM that you would only receive an excellence if you scored 90 in each event but I have witnessed otherwise.

I think the reason that a 270 with 90 points in each event is one of the determining factors because of the APFT patch. Depending on who is looking at it, a 181 can either be an exceeded standard or a barely passing score. Earning an APFT patch solidifies the effort an NCO has put forth, and puts them on the right track for a good Excellence. If they continue this trend and RETAIN it every rating period, then that looks even better.

Technically, it is exceeding the minimum standard, but I would in no way call a 181 an excellent performer (unless that 181 happened to be from a permanent profile, they got 90 points in each event, and got a go on the alternate event). An excellent should be someone who earns the PT patch, not just barely achieves the minimum standard.
