<p>Could you please report back what the new targets are for the Candidate Fitness Assessment, by event? The website has the max numbers by event, but not the median (which used to be the target).</p>
<p>Or, if they are scoring it on a 500 point scale, perhaps you could give the bands?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>They just rank it “no risk” or “overall risk”. Thats all the information they give you.</p>
<p>Some candidates also received “at risk”. These were given out to candidates who failed 1 or more event. (Failures shown with an asterisk next to an event). “Overall risk” apparently means that none of the individual events were failed (because there are no asterisks), but the overall performance of the test was not good.</p>
<p>Other than that as jq said, no other info was given.</p>
<p>OK, then, what performance level in each event constituted failure?</p>
<p>idk. I had a “no risk” with:</p>
<p>65ft b-ball throw
6 pull ups
9.2 sec shuttle
50 sit ups
32 push ups
6:37 mile run</p>
<p>jq722 are you male or female?</p>
<p>^^^ ??? since i did the pull ups and not hanging arm pull I am a male</p>
<p>good point — didnt think of that</p>
<p>Actually, it’s changed this year. Women can do pullups in lieu of the dreaded flexed arm hang. One pullup is better than the max time for flexed arm. Our D vastly prefers pullups.</p>
<p>Thanks for the info, jq722. Anyone else?</p>
<p>Did they change the shuttle from being a 6 round trip to being only 1 round trip?</p>
<p>Up and back twice. Or (4) 10 yard legs.</p>
<p>Whoa, that is almost nothing like what we did. We had to do 6 round trips of a 25 yard course. What time do they want you to have for the completed run?</p>
<p>9-11 second territory. Mean entering at USAFA last year was 10.0 males and 11.5 females (according to USAFA website, but it sounds way too slow for females).</p>
<p>9-11 seconds for the entire run? We had to complete, for guys, under a minute.</p>
<p>i think the optimum (max points) for shuttle run was like 7.8 seconds. Its a 10 yard thing where you go back and forth 2 times.</p>
<p>Overall the SLS never gave us any breaks in between any of the CFA events. I was just going from one event right to the next. I am pretty weak on the mile to begin with ~6:50 usually, but I performed terribly at the SLS because it was 90-95 degrees, and by the time I started the run I felt like I had already run a mile. They were very strict with form for all the exercises too.</p>
<p>I got a “overall risk” =(</p>
<p>59 ft. bball throw
8 pullups (friggin DQed 2 of them)
9.1 sec shuttle
55 situps (should have had 60+ didn’t count a bunch of them cuz my hands moved)
48 pushups (more DQS!)
7:50 mile (w t f ??? i did so horribly)</p>
<p>Basically I beat jq at every event except the bball throw and the mile. I didn’t fail the mile (8:00+ is fail im pretty sure) but still got overall risk. My sergeant told me that even tho I performed fairly well in every other event, the mile is probably very heavily weighted, which would explain the “overall risk”.</p>
<p>I’m definitely retaking it back at home with my track coach. I can pretty much improve on every single event without all the DQs, and hopefully I can pick a day where it is below 80 degrees to run the mile.</p>
<p>“Basically I beat jq at every event except the bball throw and the mile”</p>
<p>Basically did the same at pull ups, sit ups, b-ball throw, and shuttle. You beat me with push ups but with an 8 min mile, it didn’t help. But yea, just work on that mile and you should be ready to go.</p>
<p>btw: wasn’t your mile 7:57?</p>
<p>What is “jq”? And what is it by event?</p>
<p>“jq” refers to me. That answers your first question but i can’t quite understand your second.</p>
<p>yeah my mile got really messed up. im positive i can run a 7 flat or less, so hopefully that will bring it down to no risk.</p>
<p>and by the way jq, 8 pullups compared to 6 is actually a 25% difference =P but yeah, ur right everything else was pretty much equal.</p>
