As a Army Drill Sergeant and someone who’s certified to give the ACFT this is what I have to say....first good for her for attempting it. Second she failed the entire ACFT, you fail an event you fail the whole thing. Thirdly she didn’t keep her back straight during push ups, she turned around while dragging which is a termination, she didn’t touch her elbows during the leg tucks, and there was too much time between events. Not her fault that she didn’t do the events correctly she just wasn’t properly informed how to do them.
May I ask, because my hubby wants to join the army, and I was wondering, is this a test that he should be able to pass as soon as he joins, like to see if he's fit to join, also do you have any tips on how he can physically get ready for basic training and such so he passes and gets in, thank you so very much
@@marinac9854 not necessarily, you will work towards it but it would definitely help to do it before
I thought she had too much time (breaks) between the events as well. I’m glad they did not get rid of the 2 mile run! Those push-ups look crazy...I’m going to have to give them a try one day.
I only saw one rep that she didn't touch her elbow on the leg tuck
@@donpedritomarin7901 what Drill is referring to is that you need contact on both sides at the same time, and most of those reps the Marine's left side wasn't even coming close
nice counting on the push ups: "32....43...." lol
Lol. Austen, confused himself with "43 seconds left...."
Hahaha i got this😄
bruh thats what i said 😂😂
I thought i was the only one that noticed and came to find this comment😂
Oops, we got him.
When she said she was 99 lbs and he just looked at the camera. 🤣🤣🤣
I was 140 (5'10") when I went into the Army - no way she was 145; what was he thinking? lol. I was 165 when I finished OSUT.
@@grondhero She looks short, maybe 5'1" to 5'2". 99 lbs sounds really correct due to her height and apparent physique.
@@74Darkman yea she short as shit that why I was like she might be 99 pounds or 100
She has nearly no muscle mass. Good lord, beating her...I did construction work all my very long life and I bet at 70 years old, I could tow/lift more weight than she. Running: nope, too many leg injuries and surgeries over the last half century. No need to run when you have a gun.
@@emsnewssupkis6453 But of course, but what would be the point of that comparison? That is why it is a good measurement to use such a small person in the test.
I am 47 and i would also do very well on that test, some results would be maxed out and the others would be upper 75%. eg. i would probably do the 2 mile run in about 15 minutes and so on. Deadlift 220 lbs is really easy to be honest. I would most likely still pass the Ranger PFT.
Then again, this is a test for evaluating the average Joe. I think the girl did really well.
That has got to be the best looking Marine in the whole Corps
Plot twist, that female marine, is a male marine.

@@AEON. If she is a Marine that is where she belongs.
As a 100% disabled Army veteran, I applaud her for her efforts great job Marine!
Legit disabled? Or army disabled
What does your being disabled have to do with a chick doing an Army fitness test on CZcams?
@@chriswalker1646 There is no Army disabled. The disability rating come from the VA and they don't give a damn about what branch you served in. To get 100% rating from what i remember you have to be pretty f'ed up. Mentally or physically. I know some 100% ers in my VFW Post and they're really F'ed up they deserve that 100% plus more imo.
There's no such thing as a female Marine. They will never go through the physical and psychological torture that the men do. I'm so disgusted with the US military these days. I'm ashamed.
You have the license plate too don't you?
So no one noticed how he jumped from 32 to 43?? 🤦🏻♀️
After he said 45, which was really 35, she took a break. When he started counting again he said 44. I counted 38 total.
I noticed that too, but he took off 10 and said 46
I just caught that he said the time and then changed her reps she has done to 43
Did he score her pushups at the end? I missed it if he did.
I did noticed that. Is this guy is an Army or what?
Coming from an actual Army soldier, everything was done wrong. It wasn’t the right bar for the deadlift but that can slide I guess. The ball for the ball throw is supposed to be 10 lbs. The pushups were miscounted. Both hands must be on the rope at all times for the drag in the sprint drag carry and you can only back pedal. And for the leg tucks, both knees must touch your elbows. And I don’t know how accurate the 2 mile was. We usually just run 8 laps on an actual track. And you forgot to add her 36 push-ups to the total score
He is Navy dude, the only thing I expect him to "administer" correctly is the navy fitness tests.
If she gets 30 push ups shes combat ready.
@@mjolnirswrath23 thank you for your father's service.
@@mjolnirswrath23 Its called entertainment!!
@@mjolnirswrath23 Bless him!!!
Me eating chicken wings for the third time this week and myDD214 in my back pocket: “ that looks easy”
😂😂😂😂
It is. It really is.
same here brother happily 1 month out with DD214s everywhere lol 😂 eating what i want sleeping when i want hells yes. Also not being in the military anymore with the nonsense going on is a godsend.
Hell yeah! Great post!!!! Lmao!!!
I was thinking the same thing.
The ACFT standard is to complete it in one shot within 50 minutes or less. It looks like she took it broken up and throughout the day. However, she is a badass either way and I truly believe that if she took it the correct way with my Soldiers she would knock it out the park. She is pretty damn awesome
This girl is amazingly strong especially given her tiny stature. She’s a little beast !
She is a failure though
Honestly though, shes not that strong. I've trained several girls who are significantly stronger and even lighter. Most girls her size could achieve this level in about 6 months of serious training. In a year, far beyond this.
Last week, a girl I trained pulled 80kg deadlift (around 175lb) and she weighs 36kg. She regularly pulls 70kg for reps. 2 years out from an acl tear too.
@@eschelar 36 kg?! How tall is she? jesus
@@dinnybam2057 She's about 4"10. Small Asian girl. Blue belt BJJ Competitor and instructor. Tough as nails and in very good shape.
LOL someone always has to say that she could be better
She made a very good attempt, but she would have been disqualified on multiple events. I can only assume it was because the directions weren’t made clear enough.
Nah man she is very attractive I can’t see anyone giving her a no go 😂😂
I saw where she tried to run forward on the sprint drag carry. What else DQ’s her?
@@rickycawston1335 wrong bar for the dead lift. She released her hand for a second after the second lift and before the third. That’s a DQ.
@@rickycawston1335 Only 3 leg tucks counted. All the other ones both her knees didn't touch her elbows. She did a very good effort but it's a lot easier when your knees don't touch the elbows. Her body was not on a straight line for a good number of those push ups, a lot of sag. She didn't start the sprint drag carry from the prone.
My NCO's have been telling us that if we fail any event we fail the whole thing, is that true?
Most people fail to realize in events like this, it’s down to the individual, not the branch.
That’s so true
Different branches have different requirements though.
@@bojanglesisgood7619 we had lots of marines fail ranger school
Joe Mama well if you’re talking Marine Grunts, that’s just purely unfair to every other branch lol
This is pretty damn good, not surprised though. Most women in any branch cant even do 5 tops of push ups like that. We are in pretty good shape, PT in every unit I went to was always pushed. Other branches will talk smack but across the board, they know 😁
Semper Fidelis
Running when you can't feel your legs is the worst. You constantly feel like you're legs aren't gonna support you and fall the entire time
Considering this was her first time to do all these events I think she did great. Give her a few weeks to practice and she would have crushed it
She would still be too weak to perform in actual warfare. She would force anyone bigger and stronger to do the literal heavy lifting, for example. Good lord, she weakens any front line troops, fatally.
@@emsnewssupkis6453 anymen*
@@robertthomas5274 if they had a female strongman I think that would suffice
Soldiers don't get a "1st time" pass
They don’t get a first time pass? Son I seen you all shoot the first time, believe me you ain’t breaking any records day one.
-need a hex bar (barbell not authorized)
-ball has to be 9” in diameter, measurement not to standard, needs extra grader
-come up as a single unit for the HRPU (no chest first), full t every single time
-sled needs to be drag backwards no turning when wanted, both hands in contact with each handle, no jerking
-both knees or thighs must touch both elbows or upper arm simultaneously
Among other things :)
Hex bar would be easier
She failed the ACFT. You fail one event, you fail the entire thing. And it must be completed in 90 mins from start to finish.
Bruh it’s 90 minutes to finish this test😭😭 idk how this is a combat test, no buddy drags, crawling, buddy carries the sprints is only like 50 meters and you got 90 minutes
@@tg2big95 90 minutes to do it all is shorter breaks They had reasons on how these transcribe to combat but in all honesty its easy to pass for the jobs that dont need it but its harder to max it which i doubt you and your crying emojis are capable of. The sprint drag carry is suppost to be the drag of your buddy Leg tuck is supposed to be climbing a rope pushups is pushups deadlift and the 2 mile speak for themselves Only thing that is completely pointless is the ball throw its supposed to be throwing an ammo can up but its backwards. Just dumb overall
Also, with the leg tuck, knees MUST touch elbows. Maybe her first rep she did that, but the rest of them, no way. The ACFT is no joke.
I think it’s clear she would pass even if administered correctly!
@@Gr8nessnMe070 she failed the SDC she needs training to pass.
From a woman Marine Veteran to another woman Marine - You made us look good! Thank you very much ❕❕❕
Good stuff man I know you watched it after recording and heard yourself skip from 32 to 43 then from 45 back down to 44 and ended on 46 😅 not gonna lie I’ve done it before training people LOL anyway she did 38! Killed it!
I was looking for this comment hahaha thought I was the only one who noticed 🤣
Wow, she is TINY! She looks like a child next to Austin. At first when she said she was 90lbs I was like WHAT!? Then I realized that she's like, 4' nothin' and it suddenly made sense.
Not Tryna be sexist but that's why 75% of the active army is male, but there are advantages cause she is a smaller target
@@acemarshals3211 dont excuse yourself, theres no way a 99 lbs human (specially a woman) is not fit for the military
wolololer she’s serving and that’s all that counts.
I don't see a issue if she can pass the tests what's the problem
@Huda Bershan i dont think woman are unfit for the military, but a 99 pound woman for sure is
As someone that has taken the Acft a couple times. A lot of what she did wouldn’t have counted. That being said.. good video
Alot of it did count.
Exactly
Is it me or did they change location
@@alexissteiner8585 "Failing to maintain a generally straight alignment during a repetition will cause that repetition to not count." Her head position changed during several repetitions where she is looking forward versus looking at the ground. All those reps in which her eyes looking forward would not count.
@@Flightrisk2 And the leg tucks I only counted three. Elbows failed to touch thighs.
Army: "how can we make it easier for our soldiers to get hurt while doing their daily activities?"
Army: (creates the acft)
Thankfully you get a lot of rest between these activities. Believe me, it helps.
@@narata1541 yeah, well I got out before this became a thing. They were talking about what possibilities they were gonna use for it while talking about some new yellow clothing.
@@nucleogenexaffiliate I work directly with them and it’s embarrassing how weak the army has become.
That girl is tough, proud to see she has chosen to serve...Respect!
Massive respect for that Marine.
And of course, now that she actually knows what the test is, she could train some specifically for that test and totally crush it.
Let's see if she can actually do it in the 90 minute time limit instead of her like 4 hours. She didn't pass a darn thing
She was not a Marine. A pole dancer YES!!!!
@@Skinner117 Yes, she could have. Again, not the Marines fault. How about you come do the Marine CFT with the same VERY basic instruction and see if you pass.
I visit Putin's Russian military sites at RT news. Watch the men train! The women are in the military as back line support. The men do the fighting. Nothing to sneeze at, either.
@@CrowBarActual lol she's fitter than a LOT of females in the army, I'm sure she can pass it if she gave it a second try in the same day.
Failure of one event is failure of the whole ACFT. She still crushed most events and the sprint drag carry is like getting a fight gone bad. This test is harder then it looks and has taken a lot of soldiers by surprise with its odd events but physical toll. Mad respect for marines also. Devils know marksmanship and PT very well.
@Lima 2 Actual You sound like an Army pog that struggles with the new pt test. I've been out 10 years and can easily pass the test. Maybe you should spend more time training than watching others on YT.
The long grass didn’t help in the drag given her size and weight... most demos are on turf or short grass... respect for the marine; solid work on the test!
@@OfficialPhdPepper break in form, as she considered going forward.
There are a lot of regulations and rules to the ACFT that unfortunately they missed, but she did a damn good job. Even though she technically failed, she's obviously fit and healthy. Good video 👍🏻
I was gonna say the same thing but then I realized this video was 2 years ago and acft was changed again
many of the later push ups wouldn't have counted.
bro if y’all can do this and not be dripping sweat by the second push-up, wow i’m amazed
Somebody high up in the Army really likes Crossfit too much. That medicine ball toss is dumb. It is a complex explosive skilled movement that requires practice to get good at. So that means the Army will have to buy millions of medicine balls for normal PT. I can see that exercise leading to a lot of injuries in the back, neck, and shoulders.
If you get injured doing the ball throw then go home
@@liveking12 lmao
@@liveking12
Right. Because we're going to play China in dodgeball.
Yes, this would injure people. I'd joke that its more like a how to know you can't throw a satchel charge far enough over cover for you to live to talk about it test.
ye they really be trolling, just do a military press, 10 times better
She didn't even pass it, and the grader should learn better. There's a 90 minute time requirement not the 4 hours she got.
For real. Wtf giving them breaks. The whole point is to see how well someone can do back to back.
I mean, they also had to film a video too
@@avatar098 the guy filming had nothing to do with her completing events. She could easily move from one event to the next as if she wasn’t being filmed just like we do. It’s bit like the camera man had anything to do except hold a camera. Your excuse is nil and void and she failed anyway.
@@jeffwalker1322 are you actually stupid? They easily could've had the camera man follow them through the exercises. Its been done before, smooth brain. Continuous shots with no cuts is a thing. And if she did this poorly with the 4 hours she got, no way in the world is she getting the same scores under a stricter time limit back to back.
You no longer even have to pass it! Think I’m wrong? Look it up!
Count went from '32' to '43' on the HRPUs. Gave her an extra 10 - Impressive performance none the less.
The ACFT is much better to my mind than the old PT test. Much more interesting than push-ups, sit-ups, and 2-mile run.
Back in 88, I believe I scored a 250 with 44 push-ups (can't do them worth squat), 91 sit-ups, and a 12:12 in the 2 mile run. Using the new track at Fort Ord really made a difference in my 2 mile time as the normal runs I'd do on Reservation Road resulted in times around 14:40 consistently.
She did great overall, but for the leg tucks she needs to make sure she touches her elbows to her knees, or they wont count them at all. I only counted about 3 leg tucks
Alex Navarrete that's good , that's passingl
She also needs to have her fingers and thumbs extended and joined during those HRPs. And that ball is not the authorized ball for the ACFT. The Drills would've stopped her pushups at 18 when she started arching her back, that is unauthorized and can be counted against you. At 3:46 he says "32" then he skipped to 43 in the next second... For the SDC she is supposed to start in the "down" position of the t pushup. Not prepped and ready to run.. on the side shuffle she switched sides, that is unauthorized. Also, after the third leg tuck she never touched her knees to her elbows, automatic failure.
I know y'all are Marines and you're not used to the ACFT, but I also heard you reciting the actual regulations which sort of eliminates that excuse... why do you need to cheat and give her more points on these events than she actually got? Furthermore, if you wanted her to take the real ACFT you would follow these regulations as they were put in place for a reason. Not trying to be a drill but come on! Do it right! Ans if you can clearly see that shes screwing up reps then have some integrity and just keep repeating the number until she does it correctly.
A 60lb hex trap bar is used not a 45lb straight bar. Both are used for dead lifts but both feel extremely different when picking them up.
Frank Frank Amen Amen Amen Amen thank you. I was like the heck. I’m sorry it makes me upset when someone who clearly isn’t in the Army tells another branch how to do army stuff and screws it up
@@Lydia_Ranki I know! It's like c'mon guy stop misrepresenting us🤦♂️ this wasnt absolutely horrible, but usually it makes the Army look pretty sloppy. Thanks for the comment. I hope you have a lovely day!
She should try the ACFT in with what her MOS in the MC is- say she’s a fueler or a desk worker, because the ACFT changes depending on the MOS. Infantry soldiers have to do much more than a 42A or 92F, but a 92F has higher standards than a 42A. If y’all did this already, I’d love to know her MOS!
That is true im a 88m and i have to do the most because im "Heavy"
Marines are standardized across all MOS’s, but we have two different fitness tests and some MOS’s require a third test
11B- We have to do the black standard which is 420 minimum
35F, I only require moderate (the lowest) and I tend to finish mostly I'm the heavy section
42A got moved up from moderate to significant because of postal operations
She is one beautiful warrior. You go Angel. Good job. 👏👏👏
Great job by this impressive fitness soldier. She did not even sweat wow. I hope she makes some instructional videos on how to train to get this good specially for the run. Again great job!
They gave her time outs. No sweat=no efforts.
This is what happens when you allow a CrossFitting officer in charge of your PT test
I mean, as a test of fitness, this is clearly better than the APFT
@@kyled3235 It’s better than the APFT other than the ball throw, the ball throw is really dumb
What you get hurt lol
@@chocbear8394 the exact opposite cuz I don’t do CrossFit
Dead lol
They got the smallest Marine possible to take these tests?
She's big where it counts! :)
to let everyone know, their are no excuses if you don't pass..
It is like getting a small female U.S. Army soldier to take the U.S. Marine Corps physical fitness test.
I served six years in the U.S. Marine Corps and another six years in the Ohio Army National Guard so I've taken both U.S. Marine Corps and U.S. Army physical fitness tests. The U.S. Marine Corps physical fitness test is a lot harder than the U.S. Army physical fitness test.
@@shiwakuseven5859 They have only started the new tests recently two years I think. So far only one person has scored a perfect score of 600. The corp PT test is just pull ups or push ups ( your choice) crunches and a 3 mile run, So no way the Marine Corps test is harder
@@shiwakuseven5859 what pull-ups, crunches and an extra mile on the run compare to the army’s lol it isn’t that hard.
She’s impressive as hell! Great job CpL!
all i can say is, well done to her. she is already serving, more than some people who have never served sitting back saying she didnt pass the test. the test is she is already serving, so back off....i salute her.
Great effort, but she failed. Back need to be straight when she rested, and knees did not touch her elbows...not gonna lie the ACFT is easy to pass hard has hell to max.
00:41 “What are you about 145 pounds” 😳
lol i was really far off i know
Lol
Austen Alexander kinda insulted her dont you think😂
Muscle weighs more than fat
@@ariellochner4479 No it doesn't. It's denser.
Loved it!! Don't judge a small.person , sometimes they surprise you, have more heart than a tall person!! 99 pound marine, much respect!! This a woman to fear and give respect to.
All I could think about is how much I don't want to do this..then realized I never planned to it's just 12 am and I'm trying to fall asleep
He's really recruiting for the Avengers 💪👍
She didn’t pass...u can’t fail any of the events. She failed the sprint drag carry by getting a score of 0. I don’t think the test was done correctly considering that I have taken it plenty of times. She did well though. I’m 31 trying to keep up with 21 year olds and I do 52 hand release push ups. It’s tough. Specially those leg tucks.
After the drag your legs just don’t want to work properly for the rest of the sprint drag carry but the rest of the test is a breeze for sure (coming from a 23 year old 😂)
@@ck2721 Everything feels fine and dandy on the Sprint Drag Carry until you get to the other end with the 90lbs. After that, your legs become noodles
im 33 and ate shit right after the drag... damn feet just wouldnt work. ha i find the leg tucks to be the easiest for me though, not sure why.
Well they have till 2022 to pass lmao
I find hard to believe the fat bodies that the Army scrapes from the bottom of the barrel can pass thisQ
My last ACFT was 320/ Don’t remember my APFT but she did pretty good saw some things that would make her get stopped but other than that she did well!!!👍🏽
she lost her form for pushups at like 27, she would've been disqualified for the drag in the sprint drag and carry because you can't turn around like that you are supposed to set the kettle bells down in a controlled manner she just threw them. and she only had like 3 leg tucks where her knees touched her elbows. it really isn't her fault cause she wasn't explained how to properly pass the test.
Man,.. this new test is something else! I am a 20 year career old school Army veteran, we did of course the APFT. The push-ups, situp and two mile run.
It all totally smoked you then, do those push-ups breaking 80 would swell up your upper body and then you go right into situps feeling top end heavy doing that, now your thighs are smoked going into the two mile run for at least a 13:30.
This whole new test is really cool! I really like this new combination of events! Great job Army!
She did really good, but it wasn’t even close to standard. I’d like to see her do a real ACFT to standard
Lisha Fairbairn facts
lol easy
I'd like to see her on only fans. Lol
@@mikeweidman5006 😂😂😂
None of this was conducted to standard the only go was the two mile run.
This is coming from an army Ranger, retired raider, combat hunter, deer hunter, crocodile hunter, marine infantry, Olympic runner, golden globe champ, mortal combat champion, mma fighter, navy seal, and crime fighter, all I can say is that at least she went up there and did her thing.
I love how it says she passed overall.... going off this grader she failed the SDC so she by that she fails the whole event.... Have a DS like myself grade this with the correct equipment and set up and time frame and see how she does.
Good effort though.
I always find it odd they don't bring in a representative of the branch to show them how their PT test actually works, so they can try doing it correctly.
I would've failed half those pushups. Back was bowed and not straight. And she paused in the arm extension for a quick break. That would've terminated the event.
Yes, "technically" you're right. If you're in the military you know damn well how everyone performs and conducts their physical fitness tests regardless of branch.
@Joshua Bressel No, the SDC isn't really that tough, it kills your legs, but the Leg Tuck is the killer for women, based on current testing results.
Great attempt by that Marine, but she failed the lowest standard for the ACFT
It also looks like there was WAY too much time between events.
Not to many leg tucks that would count but still probably would have been 12
@@aaronlubrant7860 I counted 3 correctly performed leg tucks, and I'm a level 1 grader. Her left side wasn't even close to touching for most of that event
Yeah, didn't want to be that guy But she got counted a bunch of push ups and leg tucks that wouldn't pass in a official test. Making it clear that when he said you only have to get the minimums to pass is somewhat true but its MOS dependent. She did they absolute lowest standard. Theres heavy, significant and moderate. She failed at the moderate level with many extra accommodations and more time between events. One hell of a try tho!
180 points to pass but he isn't a soldier nor is he qualified to grade her on Army standards.
@@michaelhenry6712 *360 points
6 events, minimum of 60 points in each event to pass
I love how he just adds 10 to her pushup count like no one would notice rofl
True
that or he just lost count
I always lose count so I have to use a counter lol but yeah he def added 10 HRP
They often cut out some of the counting
I think he lost count and went to 43 when there where 43 seconds left... in other words he confused himself.
Put her on the USMC Recruiting video.... half the country will sign up in a week
Hey Austen, great video and excellent content. Btw I’m in the Army Reserves, I’ve taken the ACFT countless times and just here to note some small errors in the ACFT presented in this vid. 1(Deadlift) it’s not just about lifting the weight but also controlling it on the way down (don’t drop the weight, many soldiers have failed this test due to that (hex bar recommended but optional)). 2(T Push Ups) Always maintain a straight body (move your body as a single unit). 3(Power Throw) Try to use a smaller medicine ball (have a person actually mark where the ball lands while you grade her). 4(Drag,Sprint,Carry) PLEASE don’t drag the sled with one arm in front of the other because it won’t count, when carrying the kettle bells don’t just drop them because that also won’t count (drop them to where the kettle bells are still standing upright). 5(Leg Tuck) Overall it’s the most common exercise that many soldiers fail but just make sure through every rep BOTH elbows and knees touch together. Overall I think the marine passed, gave this a 👍🏽. Hope this becomes helpful. If you need any examples of the ACFT just search them up on CZcams (there’s a lot of them).
There’s a lot of Marines in my apartment complex. I see them individually working out constantly, running and lifting weights. This is in addition to all the fitness training they do at work. They push themselves hard to be in the best shape possible to be ready to defend our freedoms. They are the Best of the Best! Corporal Ramero
As a female who did construction work, after hours, I would go to the local gym and work out to tone up specific muscles like the chest muscles which are the weakest for women. On weekends, I fought in full armor in the SCA years ago. Lots of fun but broke my arm one day, had to stop that, it interfered with work.
@Billy Jackson I am 70 years old though pretty fit, still. But never could I do what a Marine does. It is impossible.

She's the type of female you want in the military. Her drive and willingness to push, to grow, to be better, are what is needed in the military in general, from both sexes.
Fairly good video... Although being an ACFT instructor (as of last week)
There were several flaws.
1) Just one failure... Is a failure. So she failed according to your chart.
2) The ACFT is rated off of you MOS, moderate, heavy, significant (yellow, silver black)
3) Dead Lift is done with a different bar. Yours was way harder. 155lbs is actually 62 points not 60
4) Sprint Drag Carry... During the drag, the weight is actually on a sled, She got really screwed there. And she's not actually allowed to turn around at all. She would have passed with weights on the sled.
5) Left tuck... She only touched her knees to her elbows ( both at same time ) a couple of times. I will give her 3 so that would be
6) Push up 30 is 70 points ( your counting was way off!!! lololol
7) 2 mile run... a 14.59 is 90 points.
Just FYI
She wouldve got disqualified for using one arm to drag the sled. Granted its not on a actual sled with handles but yeah. I have to take this Acft every month when I have drills. My best sprint drag carry was 1min 41 seconds
Even in BCT we didnt use an actual sled. It was similar to what they used in this video.
@@aidenallred2672 you didn't have a cloth base with 2 handles mounted on it with something securing the weights down?
When I did mine, it was a rope with a mat the weights were sitting on. 1:32 💪
The female corporal take in the army combat physical fitness test did a great job. Although I do have to make one correction, she did not pass the ACFT as she failed the sprint drag carry (The maximum time to complete it is three minutes.) you have to pass all the events in order to get a GO. I was really impressed she ran 2 miles as fast as she did because after the sprint drag carry your legs are totally smoked. Overall she did a great job for someone who has never taken that test before nor practiced. Again, great job Corporal.
I can’t believe they changed the entire pt test for the army. I was in back in ‘93 to ‘96 - (11b 10th mountain) and I glad we didn’t have to do this shit. We did enough running 5-6 miles a day plus all the road marches up to 25 milers. Seems like yesterday when I was in but it’s been freaking 30 years ago. Crazy how time just flies.
Grader: one minute left
Her: WHAT 🥵
Same girl same.
She actually failed the test. You are not allowed to fail any events.
A few other critiques, hand release push-up starts in the down position. Sprint drag carry starts in the prone position, almost no rest when transitioning between the first 5 events then 10min rest before 2-mile run. Passing score is based on your MOS, or unit standard, There are three levels that are considered “the minimums.” Maximum score overall is 600.
There's no way she would've failed the sdc with the standard equipment. That sled looked janky and didn't play to her advantage. Nobody ever fails the sprint drag carry
Jacob Byrd she weighs 99lbs, she’s nearly dragging her body weight.
@@nickbryan217 am I basic there was a girl who would 90 lb she did it then did the two mile run but wasn't able to complete it cuz she can't feel her legs
@@nickbryan217 Bruh its called the ACFT. Not the oh my buddy went down and im only 99 pounds with full kit so sorry.. I can't drag or carry you out of fire or to medical aid because you weigh more than me with full kit.
dragging your body weight ouch haha she did a great job that looked rough.
9lbs less than her body weight actually.. She isnt a combat marine. How could she pull her combat brothers, hell even sisters out if danger
It isn’t easy, I’m in the Army myself and done the ACFT several times, and let me tell you, it’s the worst in mud, because that shit cakes up all in the front and you’re dragging like 20 extra pounds of just mud
Yeah now let’s see her drag HIM out of danger and see how far she makes it.
I’m at boot camp rn, I’ve done this test about 5 or 6 times, it’s a lot fun but it’s pretty damn challenging, a great fitness test for sure
Basic training*
@@brentonwillis5682 I was in AIT at the time and I use boot camp to refer to BCT and AIT because non military members wouldn’t know the difference, so I just use the term boot camp as to not have to explain it to civilians
@@tdragon8 Navy, and Marine corps call it boot camp. "Basic" sounds like something recruiters came up with to make it sound simple. It sounds better than hard miserable beat-down camp.
@@qua7771 I say boot camp because that’s something civilians understand easily, plus AIT isn’t Basic, so needed a general term at the time.
@@tdragon8 I was joking around. I was Navy. Did you get weekends off in AIT?
Half the Army won't be able to pass the new ACFT.
Nah they'll be fine.
They made us take the ACFT in Basic and AIT as graduation requirements it wasn't bad at all .
True
Yeah it’s lax
For basic they only have to pass the minimum standard which is pretty easy. At my AIT, the ACFT wasnt really a graduation requirement. You took one at start and if you passed gold, you were good. If you didnt pass, you just retake it like 3 weeks later with another class and they would mostly pass but one or two would still go through. (It was a heavy MOS too).

Way to go Marine, nice job!
Insane vid
She needs to work on the push ups and leg tuck some didn't count. She did a good job. I went to Basic Leadership Course and the ARMY are serious about not snaking when doing push ups. Your body needs to be straight from head to toe. Leg tuck, the knees and elbows should be touching.
You are 100% right on all of that
@@zoomdirt2 Well, is her first-time doing ACFT. So I give my Marine Corps Sister one. Orahhh!!!
Her body was straight for the vast majority of those pushups. What are you talking about? Only about the last 5 or so didn't count.
I've been out of the Army for 15 years now. I have to say, this testing appears to be a lot more practical and a better assessment of physical fitness than the old pushup, situps, 2 mile run APFT.
I absolutely agree with you and I've been out 31 years now.
this new PT test is stupid
@@larrywimberly4930 Care to elaborate on what exactly you think is "stupid" about the test?
what was wrong with the pushups sit ups and 2 mile run it worked fine for many years now it looks like a cross fit class
I disagree with the assertion of it being a better assessment of fitness.
1. That overhead throw is not a measure of physical fitness. No only from the physical aspect but from the fitness for duty. That activity is not only something you don't do, but something you should almost never be doing.
2. The hanging curls are a measure of various competing strength maneuvers, not fitness. That isn't terrible, but there are some inbuilt reasons why that type of testing was removed. First, it is biased toward lower body weight, but particularly for physically demanding MOSes you need more body weight due to the increased muscle requirement. Second it is primarily dependent on *static* grip strength, rather than dynamic. Again that isn't physical fitness. Even a rope climb is better than this because it is a dynamic grip strength event. Regarding physical activities, static grip strength is quite rare. When you need grip strength it is almost always dynamic.
3. Deadlift does not measure fitness but strength in lifting heavy objects. Certainly applicable in terms of capability, but not in physical fitness. In order to get into that territory it would need be a lower weight with higher reps. But that aside, those weight targets don't make sense given military guidelines/restrictions on what constitutes a "2 person lift." They are having you lift more than you are officially allowed to lift on your own. Furthermore, this pushes training to a more powerlifter weight training to be able to even know what range your 3RM is, let alone how to do it. This is not an event that you can just do general fitness training for and walk into.
Side note on that last sentence: the point of a general physical fitness test is that it is general, not that it requires very specific training.
If they really wanted to test physical fitness they would not be doing the test this way. Instead they'd be doing things like heart rate monitoring during the run to check for things such as hart rate variability, how quickly the HR recovers post-run, and how high the HR gets and for how long. This would give an objective measurement of cardiovascular fitness. There are similar things that can be done for aerobic capacity.
A key problem here is fundamental. They are trying to make a "one size fits all", not look like they are lowering standards, and not look like are intentionally setting a bar women can't handle. That is a recipe for failure. Instead, they should use something more like the older one (2min setups, 2min pushups, 2mi run) as the general, but have an additional one per-MOS where you can develop proper criteria for what the job entails.
Of course, that means that certain jobs will have significantly higher difficulty to pass their fitness test, for obvious reasons. However, that would also mean the some of those would in the aggregate be more often failed by women, and that would look bad.
That the test is having a "high" failure rate does not mean it is a failure. That it fails to test what it alleges to, that it fails to represent activity while representing itself as doing so, and that it actually pushes training for it away from effective specialty training and into a cross-fit gym, that it it makes it look intentionally biased due to the much higher failure rate among women, these are why it is a failure.
Awesome job
She did awesome! I love it!
It's tougher than you'd think. Learning the rules and distances would probably help too but damn shes tough. Good for her.
Just to let you know since I got to experience the acft the graders are strict some of those push ups wouldn’t count same thing with leg tucks and would’ve failed the entire acft just because she failed the sprint drag carry but overall great performance I love it
She struggled to drag the weights in this which was the only reason she failed. Had she been given the proper sled it would’ve glided along the grass much easier than just having bumper plates on the grass. I do agree on the leg tucks though, although considering how most women can’t even do 1, it’s pretty impressive
She also didn't start the SDC in the prone position, she also threw the KB'S instead of placing them. And yes they set her up for failure with that unapproved sled. As far as leg tucks she did well overall. And the deadlift is difficult to assess here considering that we used the hex bar which weighs more and requires more stability and balance and control than the straight bar. A few items to consider here. But overall not bad. She could pass the ACFT.
@@ThatGuy-nv7cx That was the proper sled, I was actually surprised by that. We used that slide during basic and at my unit .
It’s not official until 2023 so Army soldiers have time to train
Cora Wardleigh no its official 1 October 2020.
When she was dragging the 90 lbs all I could think was holy shit, she’s literally dragging her body weight
I really like how on the end she fails a category but still gets a pass. I really hope someday in the future I'm not a guy that she has to carry across the battlefield that's wounded because she can't carry 90 pounds 50 meters.
Some push-ups can't be counted. Failure to keep generally straight line.
None of the DLs counted
Re-read the instructions. You don’t have to move as a single unit, that’s old APFT thinking that will bolo a bunch of Soldiers. Also the sled was missing from the weights for the drag
@@meecebloke yes you do, lol. Try doing those push ups in the ACFT and watch how many count. T-push ups are quality over quantity.
meecebloke sadly they won’t count it unless your entire body moves up as a single unit. I’ve missed multiple counts cause of worming mine
A general straight line? Not a perfectly straight line, but I’d say she actually kept a ‘generally’ straight line, yes?
Signing up to be a US Marine in a few months I still have a lot of training to go through to get to where I need to be at
keep it up!
Run, run, then run some more. None of that treadmill stuff either, run outside on the pavement or track as much as possible. You definitely don’t want shin splints in boot camp or even worse, a stress fracture. Also, gain as much muscle as possible between now and the time you leave. You’d be surprised at how many Recruits can’t even finish the O-Course the first time they run it which is sad cause it’s really pretty easy, but if you’re weak and out of shape it’s 💯x harder. Good luck! You’re joining a great branch, take advantage of the opportunities and don’t do anything stupid to get a dishonorable discharge. Again, you’d be surprised at the crap Marines do to get themselves kicked out.
@@flanagamer will keep that in mind I'm willing to work through the difficulties any day if I have to push myself beyond my limits to lend a hand for the u.s, reach swat and to become a marine I'll do it no matter what!
I like to join the marines but, tbh idk. The uniforms look better which is a plus, it’s tougher than other branches but I think I’d handle it good, maybe bc they aren’t as nice 😂 as a drill Sargent in the army
Michael Engelmann Boot camp isn’t hard and what you wear shouldn’t determine your branch 💀 that should honestly be the last thing you factor in
Beautiful, fit, strong, tough and DEADLY! What a badass! Angel so much cooler than Austen
Shout for her doing this test some of our ladies would never attempt this🎉🎉
Yes she did most of these wrong but half the exercises she hasn't even done and is not used to them she was great
This isn’t an accurate representation. No hex bar. Wrong medicine ball. Appears the time in which the event was conducted wasn’t as quick as it should be. Would like to see one to reg
You gotta keep that deadlift steady too, no dropping
Agree, it was not. From the wrong weight on the deadlift to the medicine ball and so much more. If you are going to put it out here at least do it correctly.
Also both knees did not touch the elbows on every rep, the events are supposed to be back to back with specific time between each event.
I bet you most of the Reserve and Guard units won't have the right equipment either. She did really well compared to Soldiers I know. I'd love to see her in 10 years.
@@PinstripeJim my guard unit has all the right equipment every unit ive seen in FL has an abundance of equipment we were ready to conduct the acft this year until they pushed it to 2021
Link and Rargh Then we fight theme song at halfway point 😂 she killed it !
Didn’t expect the events to be as strict as the actual standard she did great for the information she was givin. The ACFT is grueling!
Calm down guys..shes only 21, still in process...she need more experiences, more physical pressure, more mentality pressure, more core muscle build to adapt more pressure environment, more pressure test
The problem isn't here. The problem is the people not telling her the proper way to take the test.
She failed completely, but nice attempt. You should have had a certified tester/ grader to ensure correct movements.
She is a 99 lb pound female. I respect her attempt. She outcompeted the vast majority of females in this.
I'm sure a raider is unqualified......said nobody 🙄

She said crush the acft. Some of the fittest soldiers in the army find it hard to max the test let alone crush it. And before u trolls ask me how I would know, use ur head to figure that out
Facts. Ive taken the ACFT 3 times already, the test is definitely hard to max out but it’s an easy pass for anyone going for the minimum.
ARMY: Let's see if MARINE can pass armys new badass physical fitness standards!!!!!
....brings out 90lbs Admin Marine who's favorite flavor isn't blue crayon
The red ones taste the best.
LMAO
but she has huge chest muscles.
Yeah it makes no sense at all. I only clicked because I saw a hot female Marine in the thumbnail lol
Unpopular opinion, I prefer orange crayon 🖍️
for the HRP you start on the ground, also with that there is no “authorized” rest position, instead it’s continuous motion so you can slow down when putting your arms in and out. just so yk
She got like 9 leg tucks. The rest didn’t count because both knees did not touch the elbows
Some of the push-ups and the sprint drag was a failure as well .. so she failed the whole thing
She only needs 5 leg tucks.
@@mydcunited correction, you only need one to pass. I would know because I’ve taken it twice in the last 5 months
@@jyzf I was assuming she was doing heavy
Well done Angel !!! All the best from Scotland 😀.
The sprint drag carry be crushing regular soldiers, she did damn good. You really need to prepare for this test, and its way more fun then the old one. Its like an olympic event, especially if your unit gets rowdy. GETAFTERIT
Truth of the matter... the old Marine Corps PFT from my day (90s) is far more challenging in grading stamina and cardio. By design, it also allowed participants to gradually build strength so that each individual Marine could max out more efficiently. The Marine Corps used to allow kip on pullups but it was left up to each individual unit standard. 1/6 Hard didn't allow the kip for actual PFTs. You maxed out period. It was scored on a 300 pt system and my max was 275. It wasn't a surprise that most Marines could bust out an 18 - 23 minute 3 mile run on any given day. I knew a Chief WO who did a 300+ PFT with a 14 min flat 3 mile run. Dude was Superman.
Half of her push-ups wouldn’t have counted. Her body wasn’t a generally straight line from her head to her toes. She was using her knees to get get up. She only did 3 good leg tucks. She didn’t touch the elbows with her knees.
Who cares, I was admiring her "form"!
