22 HIMs showed up to The Swamp today ready to work. And work is what we did.

I need to thank Cobra Kai and WWL for the idea. They reached out to me early in the week to see if I wanted to join them on the APFT challenge. In typical F3 fashion, before investigating what that is I signed up. (Sorry Pax. My F3 motto is always commit before you research, otherwise you will say no.) So it was set and I can save my wienke for another day.

After a quick disclaimer we moseyed to Gander Mtn with some high knees, butt kickers and knees to chest thrown in.

THE THANG

Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT) consists of the following:

2 min Max Push-Ups – A demonstration was necessary for a proper push up  (chest to partner fist). Also, rest position is up, no knees. If you go to your knees then you are done,

2 min Max Sit Ups – Another demonstration was necessary for a proper sit up and rest position is up.

2 Mile timed run – No demonstration neccesary

Push ups and Sit ups were done with a partner (Glad the run wasn’t a partner drill because Photo Bomb would have killed me)

T-Claps to all the Pax for their hard work. This was a much tougher challenge than it appeared on paper, but all Pax brought it and completed the test. I have included the results below for future reference.

Also T-Claps to Gears for doing the record keeping and timing the run. This would not have been a success without your help. Get healthy for next time.

Lesson Learned – Next time we will start the Test closer to COT. We had a fairly long mosey from Gander Mtn to COT after the test was over. Sorry.
