DS retook this week and almost maxed the test. Thanks to everyone who helped!

9 days from the APFT. DS has been doing 300 sit ups a day and timing himself for 2 minutes. Any advice that works for you guys for the sit ups or performing well overall about a week from a PT test?

Thank you to everyone who gave advice. I know he will be working hard to pass this next test because he really wants this. He is just disappointed, especially since he is a contracted cadet. He will find the motivation to do well.

Thank you for your kind thoughts. It can be easy to say just to do more proper sit-ups, but this failure is really affecting DS. Hopefully, he remembers that these things happen as you said and he will be able to perform next PT test.

Obviously, he is going to work on his sit-ups and form. The problem is, he has never been told his form was incorrect before and honestly believed he was doing them correctly. He is not making any excuses, but he is just nervous about the next time he takes it since he has never failed before...

Thanks!

Thanks!

Hi, I recently had my eye exam and failed the binocular section of the test due to my condition stated above. So, I will likely need a waiver. I haven't officially been disqualified yet, but I probably will be. I'm very concerned and stressed about this so I was wondering if anyone has some...

Hi, I had exotropia when I was younger and had three corrective eye surgeries and now have almost perfectly aligned eyes according to my doctor. (my last eye surgery was 8 years ago). I do not have any current problems with this, so will it be a problem with DODMERB? I read the Army ROTC...

Thanks for the help!

Hi all, I submitted my deposit for Norwich University and am now officially enrolled in the Class of 2021. I'm excited for my rook year, but a little nervous. Any advice on what to do, bring/buy, how to prepare for rook year would be so helpful. Thanks!
