Talk:Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
im pretty sure the minimum score for each event is a 50, not a 60. look it up on their website.
It's 60 per event to pass once past Basic Training and Initial Entry Training check FM 21-20 for the scoring requirements and tables. Ajkr925 01:38, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sit-Ups requirement
This article contradicts itself.
"Your fingers must be interlocked behind your head and the backs of your hands must touch the ground. Your arms and elbows need not touch the ground. On the command “go”, begin raising your upper body forward to, or beyond, the vertical position. The vertical position means that the base of your neck is above the base of your spine. After you have reached or surpassed the vertical position, lower your body until the bottom of your shoulder blades touch the ground. Your head, hands, arms, or elbows do not have to touch the ground."
So which is it? Is it judged by your hands hitting or your shoulder blades hitting the ground? --Srwm4 21:08, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
- The STARTING position is with hands in contact with the ground, each sit-up after that, only the shoulder blades must come in contact with the ground. I see no contradiction. Ajkr925 03:30, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
