Current Events > How long do you have to hit 60 at AIT?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Do you have to hit 60 by the end or by the start? For Run, pushup, situps.

idk

But I was in the NAVY and the PRT is laughably easy

So unless you're a fatty don't sweat it. And even if you're a fatty dont sweat it

You'll find that cheating on all PRTs is very easy once you've been in a while and unless you're a go hard, you're just gonna do the bare minimum anyway

^okay i should be good

most people who do that do it on purpose to get the honorable discharge

even if you cant pass the physical requirements, its laughably easy to cheat.

all you have to do is suck your stomach in when taped and the rules are liberal enough that whoever is taping you will allow it

when doing the push ups/sit ups, all you have to do is literally look at the guy counting for you and say, "how many you neeD?" this kind of gives that person the idea that, "im not a navy loving snitch adn will cheat for you"


even if they arent cool like that, the min requirements are laughable. like 40 sit ups and 30 push ups im not even joking. i was always done within the first minute

the only thing that you could possibly fail is the run and thats pathetic if you do. you get like 14 minutes to run 1.5 miles

^ wtf, minimum is 40 pushups, 50 situps, and 1636 2mile. No you cannot cheat..

1. I was in the NAVY, it's separate from the ARMY
2. The minimums go down the older you get. I ran my last PRT at 26 y/o which put me in a higher bracket, giving me more slack
3. Yes you can.

By the end.

I went to a fairly long AIT (7 months) and basically they would just make the people that were failing to hit 60/60/60 on their PT test do extra PT in the afternoons after classes and they weren't allowed to wear civilian clothes or go off base either.

Either way 60/60 is laughably easy.

And a 16:36 2 mile run is easy, too.

You'll be fiiiine.

I failed 0 PRTs during my entire time in the service.

Its easy if you are doing PT 5 times a week but I saw plenty of people fail the run when because of deployments, shift work, or details they were on they weren't required to do PT in the mornings for a long stretch of time. They almost always ended up working their way back up to the level where they could pass it.

And of course there are the people that ride profiles and end up just digging a hole for themselves. Can't run because of a profile then at the end of the profile they can't run because they are fat and then they feel like they are going to die in a formation run so they go and get another profile and on it goes until they get discharged.

I went through a 9 week AIT in 2001 and you had until the end to meet the requirements. If not, you can be placed in the FTB (Fitness training battalion, or properly nicknamed, the fat tubby bitches) until you can pass your PT test. If you sit in FTB long enough and cannot pass, they can begin to out process you.

Again, this was my experience from 16 years ago and in the Army, things could have changed between then and now, and every branch could be different.

Well, it was always easy for me.

I literally used to get wasted the night before 3 mile runs in my C-School and kill it.

Shit, my buddy Salyards lit up a cigarette in the middle of a PRT once. lmfao

And I didn't start working out until I got to my ship. Even then, I barely did any cardio.

I mean I saw some of the fattest, most out of shape people pass the NAVY PRT. It was a rarity to see anyone fail.

Sailors are tough tho. We weren't like you ARMY people huffing and puffing and giving up on a 2 mile run.

Is that why the Navy has the easiest PT test of any branch?

The NAVY also has better looking women than the ARMY and better deployments.

The reason the NAVY is so much more fit than the ARMY is obvious.

1. Smarter people are thinner
2. Deployments allow for a lot more work out time
3. Gotta be in shape to get a boat boo ;)

And obviously the Marines is the "least fat"

NAVY and Marines are the same company basically, and obviously whatever they're doing is better than what the ARMY/Air Force is doing

Eyeroll

Shut the fuck up. Navy training vs Marine training is nothing comparatively. Stop insulting the Marines.

Hey, we had some Marines on my first deployment and I used to insult them all the time.

"Boat Marines" I'd call 'em.

I even dunked on one right in front of the CMC's office and sent him crashing into a display glass. It was all in good fun, though.

Now, I knew some actual combat Marine guys in C-School.

They'd whip our ass in wrestling but couldn't touch me and all my drunken friends in backyard football. So don't act like they're SOOOO above the NAVY because they're not. Dudes suck ass at backyard football.

i hate when someone insults the marines :(.

Whatever. I served with Marines so I can do it if I want to.

They talk shit about the NAVY so it's whatever.
