I have to think the initial roll out of it was a strong bullet on an evaluation for very influential Sr. Leaders in the Army. <br /><br />Yesterday I took a diagnostic ACFT with the new gender/age based standards.

Even flagged soldiers of failed APFT/ACFT with referred evaluations because of the failure don’t result in congressional inquiries.<br /><br />Possible follow up bullet comment: <br />o - Responsible for implementing excessively costly fitness standards resulting in legislative involvement retracting MOS driven standards which resulted in greatly reducing the fighting force’s fitness metrics across the entire Army.Do you think those responsible for the MOS driven ACFT received follow up NCOER/OER bullets after Congressional involvement?2022-06-13T10:27:37-04:00CPT Private RallyPoint Member7725304<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>What a cluster this ACFT has been.

This was exacerbated by the continuing requirements that soldiers have the covid-19 shot even if they've already had it or they are fighting exemptions and losing their religious exemption because of bias by a woke president and the Secretary of Defense.Response by LTC Private RallyPoint Member made Jun 13 at 2022 1:25 PM2022-06-13T13:25:16-04:002022-06-13T13:25:16-04:00LTC Private RallyPoint Member7725526<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>My comments are sarcastic. They are based on what happened before they made amendments to the acft. I passed the acft at age 58 and it was easier than I thought. But I couldn't brag because a year-and-a-half before, I got a 299 on my very last a PFT in 2019 and I only missed maxing the Run by 7 Seconds.<br /><br />Before you could brag about maxing the PT test. What I was 34 I did 317 extended scale. Now, you can brag that you just passed itResponse by LTC Private RallyPoint Member made Jun 13 at 2022 1:27 PM2022-06-13T13:27:19-04:002022-06-13T13:27:19-04:00LTC Private RallyPoint Member7725534<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I guess we have a handful of Captain America's that did Max the new Army Combat fitness test. They are animals and should be commended. Out of the military worries about the retention. I would say go back to the APFT and use the acft when your training are go to combat. If you've got one month or two at the mobilization station or whatever they used to call it power projection platform, then I would say focus on that but all they're going to do is hurt their attention numbers and I'm sure that all the services are hurting.Response by LTC Private RallyPoint Member made Jun 13 at 2022 1:31 PM2022-06-13T13:31:08-04:002022-06-13T13:31:08-04:00SGM Bill Frazer7725890<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Hell in 83 and 1990, I had the same Officer, who at the age of 44 (COL) could smoke any 18 yr. old in the unit- Airborne and did max their PT test and scoresResponse by SGM Bill Frazer made Jun 13 at 2022 6:56 PM2022-06-13T18:56:30-04:002022-06-13T18:56:30-04:002022-06-13T10:27:37-04:00
