What’s a naval aviators 2 mile time?

[@anthonysmith-n8d]

I would like to attend Officer Candidate School (OCS), Warrant Officer Candidate School (WOCS), Direct Commission (DC), or Officer Training School (OTS). I have a Bachelor of Science degree and a Master of Science degree. I am a prior service member and I'm transferring to a new branch of service. I am 41 years old. My recruiter is saying that I'm too old to become an officer. What advice could you provide to help me pursue the officer route?

During my 1st ACFT running, I did 12'26" on 2 miles, then I kept running every weekend: Friday 7 miles, Saturday 10k, Sunday 5 miles; During my 2nd ACFT, I improved to 11'49".

How prepare were you going into basic , and how much did your time decrease from your first pt test in basic to your first pt test in OCS?

[@AlvintheDirector]

Jordan R I prepared for basic by just doing a lot of running before coming. I mainly did distance runs. I was no where near prepared going into basic as I was leaving. My time decreased by 4 minutes at BCT. In OCS I’m running an avg of 5 miles at around 39 minutes. Still not at where I want to be but it’s getting there!

[@slwilliamsjr]

I needed this information. Preparing my OCS packet now. Due to COVID-19, the process has slowed SEVERELY. However, I'm using the delay to get my cardio together. This information will definitely help.

do you run to your class and chow? how many times do you run in a day/?

[@AlvintheDirector]

jeena khatri No you don’t run to class and chow. We’d only have to run during PT on run days. But a lot of us would run in the evenings as well

[@khatrijeena]

@@AlvintheDirector are the ruck marches timed? how many ruck are there? in the company runs, will you be disqualified will you get no go if you fall out yet make in time?

[@AlvintheDirector]

jeena khatri The ticks aren’t timed, but you’re going to have to keep the pace and not fall out the rucks. We had 4 rucks and it’s going to be at the commanders pace. My recommendation is to train for 15 min per mile pace. And yes you can be removed from the class for not meeting times
