combat fitness test

[shoenerb]

I was wondering if anyone got to do that combat fitness test yet?

[Cressler]

we did it at one of our PT's

[Hartford]

For those who have no idea what it is:

880 Yard Run. Marines will run for 880 yards while wearing boots and camouflage uniform (pants and t-shirt).
Ammo Can Lifts. Marines will lift a 30 pound ammo can from the ground, over their heads as many times as they can in two minutes.
Manuever Under Fire. Marines must move through a 300 yard course, and perform designated tasks, in the time limit authorized. The tasks include:

• Moving in a quick scurry for 10 yards, then a high craw for another 15 yards.
• Drag a casualty for 10 yards, while zigzagging through several cones. Then lift the casualty and carry him/her at a run for 65 yards.
• Carry two 30-pound ammo cans for 75 yards, while zigzagging through a series of cones.
• Toss a dummy grenade 22 1/2 yards and land it in a marked target circle.
• Perform three push-ups, pick up the two 30-pound cans and sprint to the finish line.

I've never done it at the RSS but I always see one ammo can that feels about 30lbs so I assume we could do it if there was another.

yeah we did it at the rss we just weren't in cammo's and boots obviously and yeah we used 2 ammo cans

I've run 2 so far. They're deffinately a challenge. If you havn't run one yet, you should try and get your recruiter to set one up.

Everyone should get to do at least one. Here is a good article with an awesome diagram of exactly what you do. http://marinesmagazine.dodlive.mil/2...-test/#more-24

Anyone have information or a link where the scoring for this test can be found? I've heard a lot of banter, but this is the first time I've actually seen what the test consists of (thanks to the people who posted a link to what it looks like, and how it is conducted).

If you go somewhere on the link i posted, you can find the scoring. There are 3 classes and a fail. it also shows the points adn what have you.

I got to do one at my RSS about 10 days ago and it actually wasnt that bad (except for the fact i had to carry a 207lb guy lol), i had alot of fun as did most of the guys there. we had 2 setup side by side and ran them as if it was a race. I got 110 ammo can lifts and ran the course in 2:08.

you should try to set one up with your station, it was alot of fun and a great pt exercise.
