To be honest I have no idea what the minimum standards for a PFT are. I make sure that myself and everyone that I'm in charge of can run a first class. It's just never been an issue. However I'm...

Check out Marine Corps Order (MCO) P6100-12. This has everything about the PFT except a breakdown of Min/Max by age grouping. You can google it and get plenty of answers.

3 pull ups 60 crunches and 28 min 3 mile is the minimum I believe. Never ran below a 1st class so I may be off by a little bit. And that's for a male under 27. I'm not sure if the requirements are different once you run an "old man" pft.

Brewer-Thanks. I can handle the first two. The running is kinda dicey now.

Remember - a minimum standard is a starting point, not a goal.

By the order, we train for combat - not to run good PFT's. At least that was our mindset before I retired.

If you are engaged in a regular, rigorous training regimen, the PFT will take care of itself.

In other words...your training should be of such an intense nature that on the day of the PFT, you consider that your "light" day.

Now...get some!

I have been wondering lately if pull ups and setups are actually too hard on our bodies. Everytime I do pull ups I tweak my shoulders, setups used to be blamed for back problems, and of course running can wear out our knees. So is it a good idea for an older guy with no obligation to pass a test, to keep those skills? Is there a less damaging activity that could substitute for those?


Not so lean, but just as green, and a lot more mean.

Perfect 300 for a Female Marine is hang 70 sec on the bar, 100 crunches in two mikes and 21 min 3 mile run... I have yet to accomplish that a 21 min run. My current PFT score is 295 :banana: I need to knock off those few seconds from my run. Every 10 sec is a point.

3mile run,pullups,crunches,i believe that is the PFT.dont have times etc.FYI- the MC has just added the CFT-combat fitness test to everything else they do.it has been found too many Marines are getting hurt,pulled muscles etc.,so the Commandant added the CFT-still in the testing stage,but looks like a 3 event workout.look in the latest Mens Health mag and you will see it.i made up my own workout and its a tough one;besides all the other stuff i do in the gym
