PT test at basic
I was at a dep meeting this week and a lot of people didn't know the minimum to pass the PT test before battle stations... "Males will be expected to run 1.5 miles in under 12:15 perform 54 curl-ups and 46 push-ups in 2 minutes. Females will be expected to run 1.5 miles in under 14:45 perform 54 curl-ups and 20 push-ups in 2 minutes. You also must be within approved body composition measurements for your height and weight."

You forgot age, those numbers change depending on your age range
|
From my understanding age is considered after basic..

Okay thanks I'll have to Google it then cause they don't say anything about that on the website.

That site's information may be technically correct but it's obviously incomplete, and it's even more obviously propaganda aimed at fresh, gullible high schoolers. They can crow all they want about how the "demanding exercise program will continue rain or shine, in extreme heat or bone-chilling cold", but it's immaterial because your PT will all be done indoors where it doesn't matter (except the 3-mile Pride Run, which absolutely will be cancelled for extreme weather). And it's hardly demanding.
http://www.navy-prt.com, while not an officially endorsed Navy page, has everything you need and more about PT scores. EDIT: This is the link I meant to post. I was very confused when people were talking about the one above not including the 18-20 age group. https://www.navycs.com/navy-fitness-assessment.html |
Yes age is considered at RTC also. I ran a 12:25 mile and a half when I was there 3 months ago you have a set limit on sit-up, push-ups and run time depending on your age group

Lots of good information here: http://www.navy-prt.com
Male standards by age: http://www.navy-prt.com/malestandard/malestandard.html Female standards by age: http://www.navy-prt.com/femalestanda...estandard.html |
Someone in our division would have TTO'd just hearing the words 3 mile pride run.

Do you have to score "good" on all three areas of the PFA or can you score "satisfactory" on one area and higher on others for an average of good? I am not yet good at pushups but great at curl ups, so I am wondering if you just have to have an average score of 60 or have to have a minimum of 60 on all three parts? This is for RTC that I am asking as that requires the good while other tests after RTC only require satisfactory.

satisfactory (adjective)
1. giving or affording satisfaction; fulfilling all demands or requirements. By definition, the "satisfactory" score is passing. (Obviously you WANT to do better, but you do not technically HAVE to.) If you fail any section of the PFA, you fail the whole thing. You could max out push-ups and curl-ups, but be one second behind "sat" on your run, and you would fail even though your average score would be (I think) in the "Excellent" field. |
I basically had the same question also. If i did 'outstanding' in two parts, but only did 'good' in the third part, what category would i fall under?
And I'm 18, that website only goes down to 20. Where could I find the score for me? |

https://www.navycs.com/navy-fitness-assessment.html (I only just realized it, but this is the link I meant to put in my first post! Fixing that now) the minimum for each category is shown next to its point value. So if you did 102 curl-ups and 86 push-ups, but barely made 11:00 on your run, your point average would be (90+90+60)/3 = 80, which is a low Excellent. If you got 108/91/9:46, which are the top ends of the same categories, you'd probably scrape Outstanding overall. Regardless, let me repeat that your average doesn't mean ANYTHING if one of the three is a fail. You will fail overall in that case, every time. |
Yea I figured if you failed a specific part, you were done for. Just didn't know if they averaged it all out or gave you the lowest score you earned from one of the three categories if you hadn't failed.

Is it right that you have to score "good" in recruit training to pass but after that you can score "satisfactory" and pass?
According to this sight that is the case... http://www.military.com/military-fit...c-training-pft |
If it is true, I'm a little annoyed by the Navy's grasp of the English language. But if you can pass with a "Good" in boot camp, there's no reason why you should ever slip below that in the fleet.
