I got an email this morning regarding the NROTC MO Scholarship application from the Executive Officer for my state. I was informed that my official PFT date is set for October 3rd, “followed by a professional interview.” I have a few questions regarding the PFT and interview:
- Because of COVID-19 will the crunch portion of the test be switched to a timed plank?
I ask this because when I’m training and testing with the local poolees we time for planks, instead of count for crunches. I’ll continue to train for both, but does anyone have any insight on how the PFT will be administered with coronavirus.
- I max out every portion of the PFT, but the 18m 3 miles. Any tips on how to train to hold that 6 minute pace? I’ve recently been training for long distances (5-10 miles) but not so much speed. Is there a breathing technique or a sprint routine to help with holding 6m paces?
- “Followed by a professional interview.” I assume this would come somewhere in the time frame of a couple days after the PFT. I’m generally a good interviewee, but can always be better. Any suggestions for the interview?
I plan to bring questions, a nice suit and haircut, hold eye contact, and keep hand movements to a minimum.
I realize this is a ways out however I’d like to be as prepared and fit as possible. For anyone wondering my current 5k times: They Fall anywhere from 19:00-21:30, much appreciated.
