How HARD is the New 2022 Air Force PT Test???

I’m so glad my CAP squadron is helping us to become fit and be able to do this test 😭

they are at MacDill, i just got stationed here

I'm a vet of the USAF, went through BMT way back in 1984. Now my son is in BMT, just started in Sept 2023, so he is going to be doing these tests. This video shows that, though he is in good shape, he's going to have to work quite a bit harder than I remember working when I was in Basic. Thank you for making this video, Kev, Jake and Eli. Well done. I would also add I hope my son finds other young men like you three to train with and befriend while in the Air Force. Excellent role models.

3 miles 18 mins; 20 pull-ups; and 100 crunches in 2 mins : is tougher, this looks and seems weak.

I aint gonna lie, the maximums should be the minimums, i was following along and I easily surpased the maximum.

I really want to join the army but dont know how to!

Can I join Air Force with 35Score?

So I don’t have to swim to join the Air Force?

I don’t know if this made me feel better or worse about my chances of passing. I’m currently dropping weight so I can join and my core and endurance is terrible.

I’m looking to join this is crazy

Bruh I messed up I should have changed branches I could ace this test coming from the army lol

The last one wasn’t difficult by any means. Ever understood how many young folks were failing left and right, at an age where you are tip too shape.

AF pt? not at all difficult. How many genders are listed in their regulation?

Hannibal Buress is that you from the Eric Andre Show? 😂🎉

By Marine Corps standards for the plank he would’ve failed, he kept Kipping. Interesting to see the other standards though

What if you fail 3 but not consecutive? Do you still fail?

A lot easier to pass now

weak

Good ole MacDill

I just retired from the AF at 55, and have done all the various AF testing such at the bike, the stairs, and the walk. The 1.5 mile run was useless, but did it every 6 months. I used to like the crunches with the toe bar. The new style pushups and crunches don't look fun. Nice that a practice PT test can count as official if done well, as it used to be a career killer if you failed a test in my day.

The training is set up different, for different age groups? For example someone 31, are their doing the same test

think i’d rather just do the 1.5 mile

Its so easy to get in nowadays what happened to them making you work for it

its' gay like yo grama

Bro with the glasses is Hannibal buress and I cannot be convinced otherwise

Answer: not hard at all

A USAF VETERAN 83-87…Boot Camp and PT training was obviously different way back then..the the discipline and training served me today in my workouts at 65…GO AIR FORCE ✈️

can't wait going in as soon as I graduate this year ready for it

Haha this is silliness. Again I was a PTL for years and this makes no sense.

It’s never been a difficult test, it’s the Air Force. I’m sure it’s easier than ever.

Nice to see the airforce is still weak.

I'm a retired AFSOC MSgt... Joined in 1991 and retired in 2012. I hope the military keeps its proud traditions and doesn't cave to wokeness.

Army marines we all fight

Thank You...

LMFAO! What the fuck is this?!

So the HAMR is just the pacer test?

I am glad to see the strength part. In the 80s we just had the mile and a half run. The Air Force so caught up on how much someone weighed, but no concern if they had any strength. Someone could weigh a hundred ponds. The Air Force said "great." That same person would not be able to pick up 25 ponds and had little to no strength. Taking weak airmen into war is not a good idea. I think PT is more important than body weight. Give me strong and in shape all day long.

so glad to see they’ve moved from sit ups to plank and the HAMR instead of endurance run. It’s more functional for tactical work and long term injury prevention

why do people say you only have to pass one to graduate bmt?

Never use "hard" and "Air Force" in the same sentence.

Great video, I was AFR for 6 years and always had issue passing my Fit Test.. I'm 41 now and working on getting back in shape to hopefully rejoin and finish that 20. This video gave a much needed insight to the changes, great job!

Hammer is just the pacer test bro, I can hit 50+ on that any day of the week

Airforce has the most difficult pt test. Lol

The shuttle run is so stupid to me. You can literally skip every other beap and only run half the time

For the HAMR if you miss the first beep, you might as well just stay at that end and purposely miss the second beep to catch your breath seeing as you’re already behind to make it, and then just resume running to meet the third beep.

The bike test was silly while I was in. I worked with someone who was an avid runner, but couldn't pass the test. On the other hand...I saw some that weren't in the best of shape pass.

When did they start doing variations of the push-ups and sit-ups? They had barely started the 1.5mile run, push-ups, and sit-ups while I was on my way out.

Good friends keeping you honest on those planks lol
