The leg tuck is officially dead and other changes coming to the Army Combat Fitness Test

Looks like we might have finally got something going here... Not gonna lie; won't miss that leg tuck (says the old guy with a bad shoulder) Also, gender and age considerations with the scoring is the right thing to do. Not sure what the scoring standards will be after the initial role out, but happy to see we have a test of record finally!

From the Army Times article I just read, I saw this little spot that is now confusing me:

"Those deadlines will come sooner for other parts of the Army, though — initial military training courses and other professional military education with graduation dates after Oct. 1 will require a soldier to pass the ACFT."

Does this mean that thus far the ACFT has NOT been a requirement to pass PME? I haven't been to a PME in a while nor have I had to send a Soldier to PME, either. So, I really don't know.

MSG (Join to see) - So we got some clarification and if you are attending PME prior to 01OCT2022 you just have to have a favorable 705... But you may still be taking a ACFT at the schoolhouse. So it seems like you June school dates should be good with the DA 705. Any PME after 01OCT2022, regardless if Reserve or Full time - you will have to have a passing ACFT on record and take one and pass it at the school house.
