Our platoon ran the Combat Fitness Test yesterday, which is one of the many final obstacles that had to be completed before graduation. Now we jut have the Practical Application Test, Final Physical Fitness Test (PFT), Final Written Test, Final Drill, Battalion Commander’s Inspection and the Crucible. All in just 2 weeks.
My Combat Fitness Test score was good, but I personally think I could have pushed a little harder. I also wish we would have had some more Combat Fitness Test Training while in boot camp. I scored 286 out of 300 total points. My Movement to Contact (running in boots) was 2:54, ammo can lifts was 92 and my maneuver under fire was 2:35. Our lowest recruit score was a 238 and our highest was a 299. I came in 11th in our Platoon out of 74 recruits. Not bad, but I know I cheated myself on the run. I took it too easy on the first leg of the run.
We also got our “high and tight” haircuts today. you can barely tell with my light hair, so my wife most likely won’t mind it. The top is still like a #2…which is very short.

The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.
Just found out the kid got a 298. We had to look it up to find out what the CFT actually was.
Semper Fi!
Awesome! My CFT is at 292 right now. If it weren’t for my bad knees and feet, then it would be a 300. That’s what 14 years of basketball will do to you.
