PT Test in RTC
Im trying to get ready for RTC and I was wondering how they do the sit-ups and push-ups? Is it to cadence? Are you able to rest in the 2 minutes while you're doing them?

No cadence. You do as many as you can in 2 minutes. Your partner counts for you and then reports your score to the RDCs. You can rest in the up position.

For the bigger guys (or girls): When it comes to push-ups, hands can be placed directly beneath shoulders, or slightly wider than your shoulders.
I always thought my hands had to be directly underneath my shoulders and it was a bit hard for me to accomplish that. So if anyone ever had that idea in their head then that should clear it up. For me I have to go a bit more wide since my chest is a little too big for me. |

For the few AW's here... this is how you need to be performing your push-ups and sit-ups at NACCS... you're going to be in a class of 12-25 and will most likely have enough instructors present during your PST-In and PST-Out to have at least one set of eyes on you at all times. Don't be the candidate who gets there making your minimums "Navy-style" and suddenly risks getting dropped when you can't pass doing them "Aircrew-Style". I have a friend from bootcamp who was dropped from NACCS and re-rated because she failed her PST-Out by 1 push-up. She needed 19... she did 32... they only counted 18 as proper.
