Army's new fitness tests: New details emerge from leadership

My concern is that they aren't going to teach proper form for the dead-lift event, and they we will have injuries before they even make it to basic.

It is a very good idea. You should have some sort of physical test before arriving for BCT. This is something that is discussed among drill sergeants all the time. I hope they figure it out and come up with something meaningful.

So...they're aiming for a PT version of the ASVAB? This could be interesting and/or entertaining.
