This can be a helpful public-service announcement, so thank you for sharing.

At the same time, scores that pass should not be confused with scores that are competitive. If you complete the CFA and believe another opportunity would yield a better score, then take that opportunity.
 
To any future readers, I found this in an USAFA post. the first set of scores failed, the second set passed. these are NOT my scores, just to clarify.

"here were my first scores:
FAH: 13 seconds
BB throw: 58 ft
pushups: 22
sit ups: 39
mile: 753
shuttle run: 9.4 secs

a month later, i retook the CFA and got these:
FAH: 21 seconds
BB throw: 58 ft
pushups: 28
sit-ups: 52
mile: 7:35
shuttle run: 9.4 secs"

gabby1723,

Best of luck to you. Sounds like you've got a great attitude.

If you feel comfortable sharing, I for one would like to know how you did....

I ended up not doing that great. I got these:
Basketball throw: 30 ft
FAH: 15 sec
Shuttle run: 11.5
Sit-ups: 61
Pushups: 21
Mile: 7:54

The situation that I did my CFA in was not ideal and I don't think I was fully able to exhibit my physical performance. Regardless, these are my scores. If I have to retake it, I will. (I hope not, but I'm going to continue to train :) )

It seems like the things that would cause me to fail would be the pushups (I did like 30 in all, but the teacher I had run my exam didn't count like of them 10 because they were just shy of 90* angles, which is fair but definitely unfortunate) or the shuttle run (which we did outside on the football field, and I wasn't used to running on the turf). The basketball throw is low, but I practiced this and improved it by over 10 ft from when I started. I'm also small and that is not an upper body strength exercise that is relative to size like push ups or pull ups. Everything else I think is within reasonable range. I also have some athletic support at USNA, which helps.
