Pardus,

It's a 17 -21 (y/o) male scoring. 49 Pushups, 59 Situps, 6 chin-ups, and 5 miler in under 40:00.

It's 45 lbs dry on a hardtop. I expect for everyone to pass the RM, it's not difficult.

This is turning into one of my favorite threads, interesting to get a peek under the tent of something I would not usually be privy to. Even more interesting to see some of the standards and ask myself if I could still do that today.

Chin ups. Push ups, Sit ups, 2 mile run. They still have the 5 miler left to do, but it's separate from the RPFT.



45 lbs.

I thought 45lbs, thanks for clearing that up.
I have to say, I'm surprised anyone going to Ranger school would fail the initial PT test.

Out of curiosity, the chin ups, palms in or out?

 

[8654Maine]

So 3/19 failed the PT.

What was the percentage of males that failed the PT?

 

[Worldweaver]

Palms in, if I remember correctly

Did you read the article? Do push ups Doc! Males failed at a higher percentage, 16% vs 20% IIRC.

Thanks.

Thanks.

I'm glad someone else saw that. Hence, the question.

So what do folks think about this?

I'll do push ups anyways.

Chin up = Palms facing you

Pull up = Palms facing away.

Do push ups......

Push ups, is that palms down or knuckles down?

 

[digrar]

Knuckles dragging on the ground is your go isn't it?

 

[x SF med]

In your case, palms up....:wall:

I don't about across the Army, but the women if any are there from 1AD that made were carefully selected, trained and mentored before going to RTAC. I'd trust making it through the first few hours would be on point with a very carefully controlled experiment. As a decently strong dude I know how body felt post two weeks in French Guyana so, I'm unsure of where they'll be at the end of RAP week or Darby phase.

Also, saw this the other day: http://www.washingtontimes.com/news...omen-afte/?utm_source=RSS_Feed&utm_medium=RSS

A lot of dudes fail the PT test. Mostly push-ups.

2 of the 3 that failed Land Nav, failed the retest.

6 failed the road march.

8 left in the course.

Some pictures and more information... Interesting that they don't mention any updates since a bunch have been dropped already.

Anyone have the update for week one?

[Ooh-Rah]

Last I read in Army Time there were 8 remaining after week 1.

[Ranger Psych]

Yeah, 140 some odd tried pre-ranger... 8 so far actually in the course now. Only slightly higher attrition than the usual student population.
