Physical Fitness Test (PFT #2) for all Squadrons
The BCT Squadrons had their official Physical Fitness Test (PFT) this week. The one they did earlier in BCT-1 was so that they knew what the test entailed and for them to evaluate their fitness, allowing them to work on their weaker areas.
As a Cadet at the United States Air Force Academy, they will take physical fitness tests each semester to measure their overall strength and conditioning. Proficiency is required in both the Physical Fitness Test (PFT) and the Aerobic Fitness Test (AFT). Cadets are required to take both the AFT and PFT each semester of their cadet career.
The test was the same as last time consisting of Pull-ups, Standing Jump, Sit-ups, Push-ups, and 600 yard run. The information chart is below.

The fitness-testing program serves many purposes, including:
- Promoting maximum fitness among the cadet wing
- Developing a foundation for a lifetime of fitness
- Recognizing cadets who excel in maintaining their personal fitness
Those members of the Cadet wing who achieve the maximum point total on either the PFT or AFT belong to the prestigious 500 Club. Those few Cadets who maximize their scores on both belong to the exclusive 1000 Club.
