Please someone whos been or in the Army answer this?

Okay before you go to Basic Training you have to take a PT test at your recruiter station. You can get a promotion IF you (forgot the exact numbers) do 50 pushups, 50 situps in 2 mintues and run the 2mile run in 15:45 (just guessing) right? Okay what about just making it to basic (not trying to get the promotion) how much push ups sit ups and do you run the mile run or the 2 mile run and what time do you complete it?? Or do you have to get the promotion to make it into basic?? Thanks in advance

Manifest Destiny	You get a promotion for : 1. bringing another person in with you" buddy program 2. having some college under your belt 3. HS JROTC w/1SGT or CO letter

redleg_army	You are talking about the "stripes for skills" program and it encompasses a lot more than simply passing the PT test. It amazes me we even give rank for doing what you are supposed to be doing anyway...but we are dealing with the entitlement generation.

Pound4Lb#1	dont worry about it bro, i think its like 25 push ups and 30 sit ups, and run time is a joke idk weak sauce. if your going to the big boys like the infantry as myself, i would reccomend becoming a PT stud because there going to work you. But if your going to be a P.O.G, dont worry about it

TAE90	I believe at Reception battalion, they give you an Initial PT test, which for males is basically just: 13 pushups, 17 situps (both within one minute), and a one mile run in under 8 and one half minutes. Easy as pie! You don't have to get a promotion before going to Basic.

Kristjan Joel	If your going to join the army, you better be able to do those with perfect score. Its the army men, you go into war, if your weak = you die.
