With the Army moving from Apft to Acft do you think schools will adopt the Acft as well or will they keep traditional Apft?

If the Army sets ACFT as the standard, the APFT will go away entirely. Anticipate that if this happens, it will go out as an All Army Activities Message (ALARACT) on how to do that and an implementation schedule. Then they will change AR350-1, 600-9, and the FMs and TCs for administering the test and the overall physical fitness program. They won't run the two in parallel except during implementation.

IMHO once they realize that senior leadership and recruit retention is dropping and the Army can't maintain its readiness, it will be used as a diagnostic and the APFT will remain. I have always been a 260-300 APFT soldier(last APFT 285) and I just want to pass. Civil Affairs Branch standards are probably like Armor/Cav and you need to run faster and do more than some branches. Before I could brag that I had a 300 in my APFT and you could put it on your OER/NCOER and even get an AAM from your BDE Commander, now the goal will be to pass and save energy for the 2 mile run.

I think eventually it will.. being a level 2 acft ncoic/instructor this test is 100 times better. I can’t do above my standard even at my age, sit ups have been proven to be horrible on your body. I usually maintain around a 250-270 on apft just because of sit ups. But it will not be up to the school house to say no we are only going to do apft it will be big army who says this will be the new standard. Like always it will be up to the soldier to adapt to the new standards or get left behind.
