ae_rollinson  – I am sincerely excited about this change. I’ve actually taken the test in multiple occasions and believe it is a better assessment of overall fitness compared to what we have now. That being said, there will be issues (as with everything).  My largest concern centers around the training the trainer.  Yes, the current PT is simple yet we still have several injuries. When was the last time you attended a “how-to-run properly” class in the Army?  Training will be a concern.  However, I think the test will help with preparing the force for the future environment.
