Looking at the Airforce PT Test I'd recommend doing a lot of Calisthenics if your goal is truly that. Most people will just train in the gym, and while that will make you stronger it may not make you better at the PT Test. For the running portion I'd recommend starting out slow since you should have a lot of time. I believe that if you ran every other day maybe starting out around the 1-2 mile mark and made your way up to 3 miles the 1.5 mile PT test will feel like a breeze. As for the pushups/sit-ups try having an everyother day sort of event as well this can be on the same day as the run or on the opposite day, just avoid over training! Your muscles need time to recover or it will all be a waste of time.

I would agree, don't injure Yourself by overdoing it, every other or every few days seemed to work out ok. It seems also practice the exercises You are training for on a PT test and don't be afraid to do other physical work as well. Build up to it but don't doom Yourself to failure or disability but overstretching the limits of endurance.
