Hello all im 25 years old and i have decided to join the national Guard next June of 08. so in that time i want to get ready and prepare mentaly and physically.So my questions are

Is Basic training all the same for each division of the military ie navy army national guard?

And what are the qualifications to pass the PT test for sit ups pull ups push ups and the run is it 1 mile or 2?

I just wanna make sure i can pass the pt part.


Thank you

No BCT is different for each branch of the military.. i.e Army and Navy have different standards.

The run it 2 miles

Since you are 25 this is what u have to do:

Pushups: you have to do 40 to pass
Situps: you have to do 50 to pass
2 mile run: you need to run at least 16:36 to pass.

Good Luck

Actually the standards are lower than that. Try this web site for more info: http://www.us-army-info.com/pages/pdfs/PTreq.pdf

The main site is pretty good:http://www.us-army-info.com/index.php

whatever u do dont shoot for the minimum to pass, pass to max....you will thank ur self later

He@t ... i would also refer you to the home page of this site and the Navigation Menu ... Prep for basic. This will answer some of your questions if you are going in the army national guard.

Thanks alot everyone for the help. I just needed to know the requirements for PT. i will train my hardest and try and get the highest score possible.. i have a long way to go.

Thank you MSG High there is lots of useful information on this site im glad i was steered the right way.


Thanx again guys
