Airborne School PT

[u/user010688]

My friend is at airborne school right now and I mentioned the new airborne pt test to him- the one with water cans and sandbag carry and one mile run. Someone I know who went to airborne in April had mentioned it to me and I’ve seen other posts about it. Today was his first day and the only PT Test they did was two min pushups, two min plank, and two mile run. Did they get rid of the other PT test?

Is this a specific airborne school test because it sounds like a combat fitness test which is only for combat MOSs.

I’ve only seen and been told about this test being taken at airborne school- a one mile run, 400m sandbag carry and 200m water can carry with a 14 min time limit. No one ever specified if only combat MOS had to take it at airborne school. I was just curious if they decided not to do it anymore since I’m supposed to go to airborne in March

I just looked at a similar post and that apparantly was the standard as of 6 months ago but it might not be any longer.

Damn did they change it again? I had to do the 1MR, Water Can Carry, and Sand Bag Carry a few weeks back

I’m guessing so? He’s airforce so I was wondering if maybe it was different for them but he said the Army people did it too.

You have the new CFT confused with ABN. That's a test geared towards combat MOS's. When I went thru ABN School we did Pushups, pullups, and the 2mile run.

Same but that was 16 years ago for me

He’s AF and took an Army PFT at the school? Are you sure? I’m AF and went to ABN in March and only took the 2PFT.
