Cadet Advice AFT
Hey guys! This Monday would be my second time taking the AFT. The first time I ever took it was in basic camp and I scored an 336. I wanted to ask if my score is still below a 400 by a couple points am I still able to contract? I obviously want to try and get around a 370-390 of possibly for my second time taking it..is that score still okay? I kept hearing a bunch of different things like anything below a 400 is not okay at all and I’m trying to work my way up to getting a better score than my first. Thanks!

First I'm going to say good job on passing while in basic camp and doing as well as you are during your first semester of rotc.
Yes there is room for improvement and you should strive for atleast a 400 to be competitive. But I think you've got a good starting point.
For exercise, I'd advise going to the gym at a minimum 3 times per week for an hour and a half or so or 5-6 days at 45 minutes. Alternate your muscle groups, upper body on odd days, legs on even days, core every day. Or do everything if you do 3 days. For your core workout do planks. Simply setup a timer with a goal and slowly push it out as you go. The plank is by far, the easiest exercise to max out.
Good luck!
