  • Is the APFT done before or after Basic?

  • @creepycody

    There is a APFT that you will take before you deploy... However, you only have to take what they call a 1-1-1. One minute of push-ups, 1 minute of sit-ups, and a 1 mile run. All score requirements are a lot lower than the actual APFT.  So it shouldn't be too big a problem. HOWEVER, you will also take the real APFT a few times most likely before you ship off just so they can monitor your improvements.

  • @SoldiersDiary247 What do you mean you take it before you ship off. Ship off to Basic? Or where ever you're deployed?

  • @creepycody Sorry, before you ship out to basic.
