I am now stationed at Fort Stewart with the 3rd Sustainment BDE, 3rd Sustainment BN, HHC. I am just coming off of maternity leave and I will be eligible to go to military courses in August. I really want to be a Master Fitness Trainer for the Army but I am getting stuck at the schools NCOs (Company and Battalion). None of them can tell me what I need other than a schools request form. Can anyone educate me on what else I need to get prepared and enrolled in this course.

First off MFT is the beat Army class I ever attended hands down. If you go on Facebook and search US Army Physical Readiness Division they have information on there. Such as locations and requirements.

It should not be hard to get. The class I attended they had to allow CPL and above because they could not find enough SSG and above who could meet the physical requirements. The APFT for the class is 80 in each event and they grade correct. They get previous MFT graduates that have been taught proper form to grade.
