Basic Training will not be enought to get you where you need to be for OCS. Not only that, your Drill SGTs will know that you are in an OCS track and will develop additional attention - and definitely unnecessary - towards you.

If so, no, a record test cannot be given to an officer prior to attending BOLC—you can be given a diagnostic test, but not a record. So it depends on your status; I don’t know your status so I can’t provide a better answer.

It is a requirement to take not pass prior to basic. And it is abbreviated as well, not the full on APFT we currently take. 1 min SU/PU and 1 mile run.

Your goal is not only passing it, but doing well on the PT test because you are competing against other folks.
