Last year before R-Day my son received a letter stating based on his CFA scores he would be required to do "X" number of pull-ups on R-Day or he could possibly be dismissed. I guess they have had a real problem with false scores or the fact that someone is not strict enough in the techniques, so I can understand the videos, but the ones done at the academies would have been completed correctly. I don't understand why it is not done like the DODMER and it is scheduled with someone that is trained to give the CFA's. My father said they use to do it about once a month at the National Guard Armory back in the 90's, but they no longer do that. We actually had a difficult time finding a place to do it, because my son's school does not have a pull-up bar in the gym, it is in the wresting building.
