LOA and CFA

[usmahopeful]

I just received my LOA from USMA. It said that I must turn in my CFA . I took my CFA last month and got these scores.

throw-76 ft
pullups-10
shuttle-8.9
pushups-62
situps-78
mile-8:17

I was wondering that with my LOA, do I need to retake my scores or just leave it and turn them in?

I believe with an LoA, as long as you pass the CFA, you should be good to go. Those scores look fine, but you can probably do a lot better on that mile run. You should try the CFA again.

What was the date on the letter?

Are you male or female? That affects a lot.

I agree with the previous post suggesting you attempt to improve your mile time. However, if your scores are sufficient for admission, I guess it's not truly necessary. Better scores just make you more competitive.

If you are a male, I would DEFINITELY improve your mile time. That's a failing mile time if you're a guy.

I'm a male. Based on the posts, I will improve my run time. I know the average is 6:43 but does anyone know a passing time?

Thanky you,

Shoot for the 6:43 on the 1-mile run.
The minimums are not published.
Even us FFRs don't know what they are!

Bingo!

Remember that you mile time doubled plus about 20 seconds is your expected APFT run time. Anything over a 7:40 or so is really pushing the boundary.

Couple more questions. Does having a LOA improve chances on becoming nominated by a MOC? And was there a case where a candidate got an LOA but got denied a nomination?
