Welcome to Airman Vision. Today we're going to be talking about Air Force fitness requirements. Fitness requirements for the Air Force vary based on age and gender. I'm going to be sharing specifics of every category in this video. But to make it easier on you guys so you don't have to go through all the parts that don't apply to you, I've made chapters on this video so you can find the specific category that fits you. But before you click on that chapter, I'm going to be talking about some basic information about the Air Force PT test and how scoring works. This is going to apply to everyone and once I'm done with that, I'll let you know when you can click on the chapter to find your specific requirements. One of the biggest tips I have heard from people is to prepare for the PT test before you get to basic training. A lot of people will show up at basic training. They haven't prepared and it just makes their time at BMT a whole lot harder on themselves than it needs to be. So if you guys are looking to join the Air Force or maybe you're in depth, we have a BMT fitness prep guide on airmanvision.com. The link is in the description below. I personally have been doing the BMT fitness prep guide the past few weeks as I am getting ready to go to basic training and I finally got my ship day. I leave in a little over a month and I'm so excited and I'm really glad that I have been doing the fitness prep guide before because I have not been working out prior to starting the fitness prep. So if you guys are someone like me, you haven't been working out or running, this prep guide is perfect for you or maybe you're someone who has been working out a little bit consistently and you just want to get on track with improving your PT. The link is in the description for you guys to check it out and get prepared before going to BMT. So let's talk about passing requirements for the Air Force PT test. The Air Force PT test is made up of three parts, a mile and a half run, push-ups and sit-ups. The PT test as a whole is 100 points. You have to meet the minimum requirement in each category and get an overall score of 75 just a pass. Now the Air Force actually used to require a waste measurement as a part of the Air Force PT test but has recently been removed. It is still going to be a requirement for the Air Force but is not going to contribute to your score of the PT test. So like I said, you have to get a minimum of 75 just to pass your PT test but of course the better you do in each section, the higher you can score on your PT test. Now the Air Force PT test requirements are the same for active duty guard and reserve but when you are in active duty operational air force you're going to take a PT test every six months. I'm not sure if this schedule is the same for guard and reserve so if anybody is watching this that is in operational Air Force guard or reserve feel free to comment on this video to let everybody know so we can get that information correct. So active duty at least you're going to take a PT test every six months but if you score over a 90 you get rewarded by only having to take your PT test once a year. So this is the new Air Force PT test score sheet. I'm using this one as an example right now just so I can break it down but we're going to get to all the specifics in just a minute. So in the first section we have cardio respiratory endurance this is going to be your run and in the second section we have muscle fitness and this is going to be your push ups and your sit ups. At the bottom of each section you will see a number that has an asterisk beside it and this means that this is the absolute minimum score that you can get in this section to pass that category. You may also hear about people talking about maxing out their PT test and basically what this means is after you hit a certain number you can't get any more points. So in this example you see that 67 or more push ups get you 20 points so you can't get more than 20 points so there's no reason to use more energy and do 68 or more push ups when your PT test score is going to be the exact same. So maxing out a section in your PT test just means getting the highest score possible. Do not shoot to hit only the minimum score. If you only get minimum scores all across the board you will not have enough points to get a 75 on your PT test. So my tip would be strive for a 90. Do a practice PT test. See what your baseline is and then you know what numbers you need to set as your goal. I have improved tremendously on my PT test since doing the BMT fitness prep guide. So let's use the numbers from my last PT test to give you guys an example. So I ran my mile and a half in 14 minutes in 33 seconds. I did 25 push ups and 54 sit ups. Now looking at this page it looks like I'm going against the advice I gave you guys just a little bit ago which is not going over the max if you don't need to but they just recently updated the Air Force PT test and my max used to be 54 but it has since gone down to 50. So we can see that the runtime gives me 54 points. My push ups gives me 14.4 points and my sit ups I hit the max at 20 points. So I got a total of 88.4. So I'm already passing my PT test but I want to hit a 90. I already max out my sit ups so I just need to make some improvements on my runtime and my push ups to get above that 90. So again we want to strive for that 90 because if we get that then we only have to do our PT test once a year and we're only helping ourselves out. The next reason is if you're striving for those numbers and you take your PT test and you just happen to miss them you are still passing your PT test and you don't have to worry about being closer to the bottom of those sections because you're already striving for higher than what the minimums are. The Air Force PT test requirements are broken down by gender and also by five year age increments.
