I think for candidates, lurkers and new posters we need to stress clarity here.
If you fail 1 portion of the CFA, you failed the ENTIRE CFA. 0 points. You can have maxxed every other aspect, but once you fail one portion it is total FAIL.
~ There is no you get 100% for your Pull ups, push ups, sit ups, shuttle, mile, but 0% on BBall, and avg it out. 0 on BBall means FAILED.
On the Air Force Academy website it says "Although the CFA is Pass-Fail, it is imperative that you perform to the best of your ability on each of these events:"
Sometimes we read what we want to read.
Frenzy,
This is meant no offense, but you keep bringing up USMA and the FFR saying you can take it multiple times. That is USMA.
The way I read that as there is a key word:
it is IMPERATIVE that ...
IOWS, one and done is our rule of thumb. Don't submit unless you want us to keep the score.
If you look on USNA and USMA websites there is something that they do not place on it, but USAFA does. SAT 490/ACT24 E typically equates to being deemed non-competitive.
My point is every SA is different. USAFA is also known to take a strong look at that CFA because they know at the altitude at CSprings many cadets struggle the first week.
Finally,
I hope Flieger or CC steps in. Stealth might also know this answer.
Right now since Jest just returned from SLS, I am guessing his slide show is current.
