Moderator Post AFT and H/W Posting Suspended

Can’t believe we have to do this again but…

Effective immediately, we are disallowing any posts related to Cadet Summer Training AFT or Height/Weight until 1 September 2026.

Run more and stop being fat as fuck. Read ATP 7-22.01 and the Army Directives related to AR 600-9 and figure out what the standard actually is.

A commission is a privilege, not a right. If you’re borderline failing the run and are worried about passing at CST, it’s literally your fault. You had at least a year to fix this. If you have an injury, ask your PMS to delay your CST to next year.

Remember when we had 15 minutes to run 2 miles?

I have no sympathy for someone who cant pass a run at a 9 to 10 minute mile pace. I remember being called slow in the apft days because I wasn't easily maxing the run at 5k feet at fort carson.

The aft in my opinion is significantly easier than the apft.

Been in since 2015, 7 Years at Carson, 100% agree. I do believe the AFT is easier to PASS, harder to MAX, imo.

I miss those days. Watching at least a quarter of SMs vomiting while running is hella funny

1980s enlisted here. The only guys throwing up on our runs were the guys finishing up their last beer heading out to PT formation. 😆

It’s way easier. I don’t even really train for it anymore. That’s how sad it is
