For all of you hoping for an appointment to 2012, please don’t stress too much about the CFA. Like hornet said, the point of the test is to make sure that you have what it takes to make it through basic and meet the physical challenges while you’re here. Much of 1st Beast is spent getting you into shape and acclimated to the altitude, and if you’re still having problems with fitness after basic, they’ll help you get to where you need to be, believe me. My CFA scores were absolutely horrible (no I’m not just being modest) and I still got one of the first LOAs sent out.

BB Throw - 40 feet
Arm Hang - 12 seconds
Shuttle run - 10 seconds
Sit ups - 40
Push ups - 35
Mile - 7 flat

That was almost a year ago, and now on the PFT events, I can max out sit-ups, push-ups, the run, get a few pull-ups, and get a decent jump. I don’t mean to give you a false sense of security, because you should still be striving to improve in all areas, but really just do your best and make sure you can pass at this point. Good luck to you all! And if any of you girls need help with how to get some pullups, message me and I’d be glad to help!
