In-Processing:
Once you enlist in the Basic Training Fitness Program, we will process all general paperwork. An Initial Strength Test (IST) will be conducted to determine your level of fitness and establish a starting point.
The test will include push-ups, sit-ups and a 1 mile run/walk. This will help to determine your upper body strength, back and abdominal strength and aerobic fitness level. A Personal Fitness Test (PFT) will be done every two months to measure and record your progress.
Be ready to workout in a platoon setting and last but not least, a date and time to “Report for Duty.”
