Hello all,
I'm hoping someone here on the forum can help me with a question I have.
I'm getting ready to take my Physical Fitness Assessment -next week- to complete my Air Force ROTC application.
On the official AFROTC website, it says that there are no minimum requirements for the PFA. I know what the requirements are for the PFT (the test one has to take if awarded a scholarship). I'm operating under the assumption (from what I've read on the forums and other sites) that one has to meet the PFT minimums on the PFA to even have your application looked at.
I'm not worried about the run or the situps, as I've been practicing them. However, I recently learned that I have been doing the pushups completely wrong, and when I attempted to do them the proper way, I found I could hardly do any.
I've been working very hard the last few days to try and improve them, but my question is, what should I do since I can't do even the minimum pushups required for the PFT right now?
Should I take the test? I know it's one of those you don't know unless you try situations, but if there is anyone on here who can give me advice on this problem, I would really, really appreciate it.
Thank you.
