My Air Force Academy PT Test (CFA)

My examination test for the Air Force Academy. NOTE that this is NOT the same as the regular Air Force PT test, which consists of a 1.5 mile run, push ups, sit ups, and a waist measurement.

That gym looks awesome. I train primarily with calisthenics (with gymnastics stuff thrown in) for upper body and squats and deadlifts for lower body, and that gym looks like it has everything I need. Edit: didn't see the rings at 1:24 before I made this comment lol

this is so crazy! I didnt expect you to be stationed at JBER, I was just watching your videos because I'm thinking of enlisting. (I started watching your old videos) but, I had no idea you were stationed here, because I live in Anchorage, as well. haha, small world?

This is great. Thanks for putting it together. The IBS on that camera is awesome. What do you use?

You did pretty good. Lol I was shocked you only did 58 push-ups and can do 13 pull ups. You must was feeling the burn!! Great job man, you're gonna make a great officer to mold those young enlisted into independent leaders of the own! I ship Next month on the 18th as enlisted. Hoping to become a chaplain assistant once I reach E-5 in four years.

I have my test this week and I’m nervous. Only things I might do bad on are pull-ups and mile run. Can run like a 8 min mile which isn’t the best and maybe 6-7pullups cause I’m just coming back from a shoulder injury. I can do 60+ push-ups thought

[@masongreen2874]

Hello i need to ask you a serious question. so I'm trying to get my school to do JROTC ( I'm a freshman ) there interested and i was wondering if you can do a video on how this can benefit students and the school over all hopefully you can do this if you have the time thank you and have a great day and like help me cause idk how to explain to my superiors how its good really can you help me please ill really appreciate it :D

[@withered-amythest-rose8656]

The only think im confident on for when I want to join the academy is the mile run. In my 8th grade year. I was doing 7:15 minutes for my mile run. That was my fastest time. My sleepwear was 7:30.

You guys find out your MOS during DEP? I'm in the middle of enlisting in the Navy; my scores are really high on the ASVAB so I just need to take one more test (NAPT). I'll hopefully be a Nuc if I pass the NAPT and pass the medical part of MEPs as well as TS. I already took the piCAT, verification test, and the Cyber awareness test. There are SO much test!

[@EmoLoveMinecraft]

my full day physical and be sworn in, but I was wondering if you knew anyone in the Tech side of the Air Force: Cyber Surety, Computer Systems Programming, Cyber Systems Operations. Really want a little more info than the three sentences the Air Force has on their site. Thx for any info in advance.

This is the Candidate Fitness Assessment (CFA) to get into the Academy.

[@TBeauty_]

where do you find the pre-candidate questionaire? I cant find it anywhere.

[@ida4587]

What shoes are you using? I am currently researching for shoes to bring to BMT. Btw that's a great theme to cover on an upcoming video. 😎

[@miernikmedia]

He's wearing Nike Air Maxes in this Video but aren't really running shoes in my opinion. They fit you at BMT for shoes that fit your foot if you don't bring shoes that are correct to BMT so go to a shoe store specifically a running shoe store and get fitted according to your foot.

[@551223]

Don't take it too seriously, AF basic is a joke. We barely even ran. I got slower leaving basic than when I went in

[@55inchSamsungTV]

551223 I find that hard to believe tbh. We did a looot of running but I guess it depends the time of year you went to basic. I knocked my run time down to around 10:15 by the time It was over.

[@ida4587]

Gabby Miernik Thanks for your answer. I just bought myself a pair of Brooks Glycerin 14 at a specialized store where they measure my feet. I hope to take them to BMT after I break them in. Now I am looking at videos of how to run properly and breath properly because I am a noob at this but I am doing better each day. Doing interval training for starters until I can run that mile and a half easily.

[@551223]

I went in Oct, we barley ran maybe twice a week, once we didn't run at all. I went from running 8:43 to roughly 8:50...I stayed the same basically. Also got warhawk

I want to join the usna. Where can I see the grading system they use if anyone knows? I have my test in a twoish weeks with my gym teacher and nervous about pull ups and pushups test. I've been doing 100 push ups a day, but do not have anywhere at home to do pull ups any suggestions?

I’m from Georgia and I’m a highschool student and just wondering how is it possible to take the test from Colorado if I get accepted in Georgia from the Air Force academy ?

[@nikki5368]

Did anyone else get a "Forbidden" message when adding his snap ?

[@striperman1957]

It looked like you used a sit-up bar to hold down your feet during sit-ups. Can a sit-up bar be used? If so can the type that hooks on a door be used? My son is getting ready to do his test.

[@connors6178]

I'm way late but for anyone who looks at this in the future. Yes, a bar is allowed. Someone can hold you feet as well if you don't have a bar. I'm 99.9999% sure of this, although it doesn't say so explicitly in the PDF instructions for USAFA, the image does have the test administrator holding the tester's feet.

[@kcole99]

They don’t hold your feet for pull ups? And how did you train for pull ups I couldn’t do it

[@grantkelly611]

What was your best shuttle run time?

[@TexasCountry1337]

Man. I'm leaving for BMT in 2 1/2 weeks and even though the pt test is rather easy I'm still stressing over it. Mainly the push-ups. You make them look so easy dude lol any pre BMT tips from anyone that I can succeed at pt and not fail?😂

[@RihnoMayhemGaming]

33 push-ups is the minimum, so you should be fine. You will be doing PT 6 days a week, so everything should take care of itself.

[@Jerry-zf3ip]

tbqh I'm surprised they included most of those pull ups. Some kipping from your leg plus doing the head tilt to help get chin over the bar. I'm not hating at all - my own form (as could all of us) could probably use some work. I'm just kinda surprised they aren't more strict.

[@echooutdoors2149]

Haha yeah in the candidate's booklet they state you have to have a parallel chin fully over the bar and be told to go back down.

[@DurgalurJay]

Jazz Lynn stress fractures couldn't work out or nothing just sit in a dorm and stare at a wall got paid though so can't complain

[@justinnguyen3091]

That's pretty common. My biggest tip of BMT if you wanna make it through is DO NOT get injured. If you do, you basically have to suck it up unless it's life threatening. I know a lot of people that had shin splints and I'm pretty sure I had a bit of that myself but my main tip is that you have to have good form when running and don't do that little runners jog people do to fake running. That's what causes a lot of impact because you're not transferring all that weight. You're basically stomping the ground with all your weight.

[@IvanOfficial01]

Durgalur Jay That sucks man, I remember when I went about a year ago and had stress fractures and shin splints, I just sucked it up, crazy how if I didn't I wouldn't have made it. Best of luck to you though!

[@TheMorningGlory91]

I remember when I went through I developed a horribly agonizing shin splint and sucked it up for a good 2 weeks until it finally went away. I'm glad I didn't go to medical because I didn't know you could get discharged for it

[@cdwoods8591]

Question about the CFA. I have been reading up on it and I noticed you didn’t meet some of the goals listed here www.academyadmissions.com/admissions/the-application-process/fitness-assessment/# Are these not the minimums for the CFA? Because you got into the Academy but I noticed you didn’t make all of these.

[@zhenwilliams7428]

I wonder the same thing. The requirement for the basket ball throw is 69 ft., the push up is 62 and sit up is 81. He met the pull ups 13. But his basket ball throw 61, push up 58, sit up 72. I don’t mean to be rude. Just want to know if you have to meet all the requirements. I watched the CFA test video, it’s a pass fail thing.

[@firefly7578]

is there something to hold your feet down for situps during the CFA?

[@samsmotzzz2171]

I think he was using the situp bar to hold his feet, and you're allowed to have someone hold them.

The average for a male is a 68 for the basketball throw, 13 pull-ups, 8.7 second shuttle-run, 81 modified sit-ups, 61 push ups, and a 6:31 mile. For females it's 42 for the throw, 4 pull-ups, 28 second flexed arm-hang, 9.6 second shuttle, 80 modified sit-ups, 41 push-ups, and a 7:38 mile run.
