PFT (Physical Fitness Training) for any service is a necessary part of life. Staying "fit" makes for a sound and clear mind, improves your abilities, keeps you sharp, makes for a more healthy productive person.

Fitness should be a routine for you and once started with continuation your days will become incomplete without this. You will find a group to join which will build team work and friendship for a life time.

Every 6 months you will be required to do PFT and pass. Determined by your age minimum times for running an established distance, push ups, and sit ups are scored and graded. If you have established a daily or every other day routine this will maintain your ability to do well on this test. Always set a goal to achieve "Outstanding" and you will do fine.

Good Luck, stay positive, improve your life.
