About time. The new PT test has been through the Gambit while I was active. It still has to be tested 2019 and implemented in 2020. We will see

My big questions are....
With the Army always crying about money, how are they going to get the required equipment for every unit across all three components in the next year and a half or so (assuming that we’re talking FY and not calendar year)?
How is it scored?
Are there alternate events for people on profile or are they going to hand out pink slips to a big chunk of the force?
Are they prepared for all of the new back, shoulder, and leg injuries? Because they’re likely going to increase significantly.
Are they going to send every NCO to a course that gives them the in-depth knowledge of how to perform these tasks in a proper manner to try to prevent injury?

SSG (Join to see) - I could label myself as a gym-rat of sorts. Meaning I work out in my garage 4 days a week. Pushups/pullups/situps/etc. I don't have the capability to do deadlifts or sled pulls and I'm not joining a gym. Where I live it would not be practical. Even if someone else paid for it.
