Which test do you think is the hardest?
Space Force or Navy are the hardest.
Coast Guard is pretty tough though.
The Marine Corps definitely has the hardest PT tests. No contest!
Yuppers, puke and fall back in for more PT training ...
the hardest test fight taliban !!! taliban dont have this test but they are good fighter why ? question of heart and what you belive
Seems like sprinting would be a more relevant test for the Navy vs a 1.5 mile run. Like a sprint one might do from one side of the ship to the other side of the ship.
Sprint from one end of the Nimitz to the other. Failure to do so will get you thrown overboard
I've been watching your guy's videos for about that past year and it's now a month out before I ship to Marine Corps basic. You guys have always been a huge help and I hope that in the future you guys will get more attention as being one of the best informative channels for the military.
I ship out in 2 lol
How it went
You can make an overview of the additional skills that army bonuses give - for example, the levels of hand-to-hand combat and which generally exist in different branches of the armed forces, the levels of training in shooting a pistol or rifle, etc?
The army combatives course is a joke. I knew so many people that went to that and were "level 2" certified...but were garbage on the ground and pathetic on stand up. And that's coming from a recreational martial arts practitioner...pretty much if I could beat them, then they really suck... 😆 🤣 😂 😹
You guys make very informative videos. In the intro screen, “without being detected” should probably be replaced with “without being identified.” If someone can hear you, you’ve already been detected, but they don’t necessarily know who you are. Keep up the great work!
Beware with the USMC PFT. Some companies at bootcamp have already fully transitioned to planks, and do not allow you to use crunches. This info came from someone who graduated last Friday.
Weakness man.
Changes to pft standards:
Pull ups
Push ups
Crunches/plank
Squats
2 mile run
-Little to no equipment.
-Can be done anywhere.
-Can be trained at home without spending cash on acft gear
-easier to grade than acft
-not acft
Hey General Discharge, could you do a video over the Air Force's SERE specialists? I passed my PAST and got a contract to become a SERE specialist.
Have fun living in the woods lol
some thing I think people might want to know about is language tests, what they're good for career-wise, their associated pay bonuses, and how that process works in each branch
So the marines are the only ones with a standard?
Yeah crayon eating standards😂
Try doing any of them and maxing it out. For example if I aim at the minimum on a 3-mile and a maximum on a 2-mile I can guarantee you that two mile would be a harder run.
100 %
@@Jordan-hs5db was gonna join but. . .
@@xObscureMars 10 year marine here, I call bullshit.
A video idea, Military Contractors what they do and how to join
Can you do one on engineers in the branches. Especially civil/construction
Yeah, the Navy test doesn't seem so tough. Am glad Army and Marine PT tests are more comprehensive now. Realism is the way to go.
I didn't know "hand releases" were considered PT. I thought they came after a massage 💆♂️ 🤔.
You should make a video about CIA Protective Agents. Or Air Force DAGRE or Tiger/ CPET teams
Great vids as always! Have y’all considered a video on Marine DI school? They go through a lot to receive the honor of making Marines.
Thank you for this video. Things have changed since I was in the Marine Corps; our maximums were 20 pull-ups, 80 sit-ups (full sit-ups, no crunches) in two minutes and I forget the time for the 3-mile run. If we maxed the first two, we could almost walk three miles briskly and still score a first-class rating.
Thank you
The 20 pulls ups in how many minutes same for sit ups and 3 mile run... what score will be high rating score ?
Pull ups are key 🔑!!!!
Can you make a video on the United States Army; TRADOC? I've been researching all over the internet for the right information and nothing is popping up. I know what they do and what they are responsible for, but I mainly want to learn about the structure of ranks to roles, and how Brigades, Regiments, Battalions, Companys, etc are set-up within TRADOC.
The fitness test really varies in each branch.
Would have been good to add in the times for the runs
**seeing the changes to the pft for the first time** “look how they butchered my boy!” This is what the MC was getting weak when I EAS’d.
i love the Air Force’s PT so much it’s so awesome 👍🏽
How I Think That The Standards Should Be Dor Every Branch:
•Pull Ups or Chin Ups:
-6 Minimum, 20+ Maximum In No Time Limit
•The Same Standards For The Next 3 Exercises In 2 Minutes Each, 65 Reps Minimum, 120+ Maximum:
-Air Squats
-Push Ups
-Sit Ups
•3 Mile Run
-24:30 Minimum
-18 Minutes or Less for a Maximum Score
You should make a video about how to be a drill Sargent, DI, MTI, and RDC (basically the different kinds of drill Sargent’s I’m the military)
No doubt, marine corps, coast guard, then Maybe army?
Six Branches of the Armed Forces and Military Services at all times, have this in common: Defense of the United States of America, and, the Physical Training ( PT) that encompasses Strength, Endurance, and Fitness for the 🔥💥 Fight..... Battlefield Ready!!🇺🇸🦅🗽💪
I wish Navy had four events pull-ups (Helps pulling yourself up over a wall), run with ammo cans (for reloading), swim Olympic size pool 4 laps and carry someone to safety.
Y’all should do a video on the green berets CRF
Echo squadron of CAG(their air assets). Or TFO.
Please make a video about Navy SARC vs Army Special Forces 18D. Thanks
However it always good to challenge myself ty .
Can you do a video on Amry officers? Similar to how you did it on marine officers.
hey could you do some vids on Canadian law enforcement and military
What are the updates in 2024?
How to join intelligence operations
Hey can u do a video on Navy MSRON units?
What about the national guard? Is it same as coast guard?
Can you do an assessment on the SS?
That marines test don’t look like no joke
I should have joined the army
How can I apply to thr US Army from Ghana
Marine Corps poolee here, can you make a video to help memorize the 11 general orders?
just study them, and look up "11 general order diddies" they'll help somewhat. just say them over and over, when youre in quarantine youll practice it there too, and then off to bootcamp where you'll still practice them
Why happened to the swimming test at the NAVY ?
What’s the difference vs the women pt test
Seems like the marines is harder.
What's best for a boxer?
The USAF released a new update to their scoring chart on Friday: www.airforcemag.com/air-force-pt-test-scoring-alternate-exercises/
I have to make sure, the pft tests, are the test you take before boot camp, right?
You take them during and after boot camp
What do you use to disguise your voice? I want to narrate some of my videos and don't want people know what I sound like.
ACFT easier to pass but harder to MAX!
I've been training for the USAF A&S in hopes of becoming a CCT for nearly a year honestly this was laughable to me I'm 5'6 and when I started this endeavor I only weighed 105lbs I now weigh 160-170lbs. I can double the past requirements with no problem and normally do it with weights. I was always the smallest person In the room wherever I went and now people are like "man you got freakin huge" I don't understand why they had to make it so easy if you really want something work your ass of for it.
When you say max push up in 2 minutes how many should a early 20s female aim for?
20-25
Plank is the hardest thing. My record is 40 minutes and I can’t hold even for 1 H 😭😭😭😭😭
Cover the other two uniformed services.
I'm afraid my son doesn't want to tell me he didn't past the test! He's now talking about reasons why it's not a good idea to join the army. Sounds suspicious to me I'm only speculating from knowing his character . Question do people get embarrassed when they don't pass the physical?
I don’t think it’s embarrassment as much as it is discouraging. It’s a reckoning with understanding what’s expected of you and questioning yourself as to whether or not you can do it. It’s all part of the process of building a soldier though, normal. It’s mental as much as physical.
I was smoking allot of marijuana and tobacco before I joined the army when I was 19. The running and ruck marches kicked my ass at first. Had me doubting myself, but I stuck with it because I wouldn’t want to bear the thought of quitting and coming home unexpectedly having to explain what happened. I would throw up while running, feet blisters the size of coins, feel like I was dying! Marching forever in full battle rattle. Dripping sweat from head to toe. It may sound silly to some but never quitting even though it hurt and making it all the way was very mentally rewarding. Even an overweight guy made it in my class by the end, he cut enough weight and passed we were high five-ing him at the end of the run when he made it, it was an awesome time
Maldives Police Service basically has Air Force PT test 💀
Different standards for doing the same jpb -- quite discriminatory,
Different hairn standards for the same safety is unjust.
Does the USMC have airborne divisions?
No.
Air force got to be the easiest unless your CCT, PJ, TACP, 24th STS..
✔️
USMC
Lol am to Old 🤣
Hey future!
Old guy here. What's a plank?
Imagine being in the front leaning rest position, but instead of pushing yourself up with your hands, you are on your elbows. The exercise is to stay in that modified front leaning rest, rigid and straight throughout for maximum amount of time. It works your core, the minimum standard for the Army’s PT test is a 2:09 minute plank, maxing out at a 4:20 plank.
Is a way to slow down time 😂
@@Thatshow100 Thanks. Always did calisthenics and running in school, but that was a new one on me.
can you join the rangers while be in the air force
No
You can go to Ranger school as an Airman and wear the Ranger tab upon completion.
