Just received this from my top choice Battalion
"All,
You have chosen the Rolling Thunder Battalion (Wheaton College or its affiliated schools) as one of your choices to attend next fall and take part in ROTC. Due to the very competitive nature of the scholarships this year, some new criteria has been added in order to be elligible to receive a scholarship. For the Wheaton College/Rolling Thunder program we are now requiring that all applicants complete an Army Personal Fitness Test (APFT). This is 2 minutes of Push ups, 2 min. of situps, and a 2 Mile run. This is different from the Presidential Fitness (1min, 1min, 1mile) Test many of you have taken. If you have taken the Presidential Fitness Test, YOU STILL NEED TO COMPLETE THE APFT!!!
To be elligible for a scholarship to the Rolling Thunder Battalion please fax or email us written proof of your APFT score. The test can be scored by (in order of our preference) a 1) local ROTC Unit, 2) Local Recruiting Station, 3)PE Teacher. Please understand that the PE teacher is a last resort because we have no way of guaranteeing they are grading to the army standard. Have your grader fill out the Test One column in the attached APFT form."
Thoughts?
