Whatever the ACFT looks like come April, if there is a new test, one thing is clear: The previous test, the Army Physical Fitness Test, or APFT, is dead.
"You will no longer take another APFT; it's good news," Grinston said at a panel in 2020. "I think it's good news for me. I'm ready to move on."
While soldiers remain skeptical of the ACFT, most agree it's a huge improvement overall to the APFT, replacing what some described as a dull string of two-minute series of push-ups, sit-ups and a two-mile run.
"I love seeing myself and my soldiers train for this; it's fun," Staff Sgt. Nicole Pierce, who is stationed at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, told Military.com

So much of a better test. I love it. Had a lot of fun taking it both times I’ve done so. I hope it doesn’t change that much more.

MAJ (Join to see) I wish I could have had the opportunity, for record. We did have the chance to do diagnostic tests.
