US Soldier vs the Marine Combat Fitness Test 

Done for fun. Not an actual test

@@BobGeanis that’s why he said “FYI” he didn’t say this isn’t how the test is done

When I was stationed with a guard company in Hawaii at a naval base long ago we used to do the Marine Combat Fitness test 3 mile run in utilitys, combat boots, light marching pack, cartridge belt with two filled canteens, and a M14. It wasn’t that difficult. It was all mind over matter.

Watch this 100 km run by Indian para sf.. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oG6rSdYVZQw.html

Just an FYI, picking a "Intel analyst" to run a pt test for comp is an advantage lol

Yeah I think every branch should undergo the same physical fitness standards as the Marines

@@sds6303not really depending on what task any branch should undergo specific training that best optimal training routine

@@sds6303 all of these tests have been changed in the last decade or w/e probably because the old tests are boring if nothing else. I think Nico should have had a separate course b/c I'm sure it was chewed up by the army guy. 800 meter is a difficult run and it's even more difficult if you don't pace it right. I wouldn't expect anyone not used to track and field being able to gauge it to maximize speed/energy on the first run.

They should've asked a Navy corpsman.

@MyGodIsBest like getting out of a sinking ship I'm sure is a piece of cake under all circumstances.

Honestly should be part of real test because when you close with enemy, they may try to wrestle you or struggle when you put the cable ties on them.

That's cheating

@@DimeandKirk it's not cheating if it's allowed. Nobody said it had to be strict press, you just need to move it from below your chin to full lock out. These guys were trying to use their legs, they were just inefficient with the movement.

That would be interesting

Thanks man! Always a good time when you're there!

He has a hell of alot of heart. And I respect that.

Ya forsure. Very impressive

He in better shape than 80% of today’s Sailors 😅

Respect for the 2 min under fire and the 102 AL; not as easy as it looks

Most of their Ammo can lifts should not have counted

They really failed THE CFT lol

Bro them proctors def aren’t real s-3 mine woulda said 0 every day of the week

Right

I mean they did get a pog to do this 😂

Hardly any of army or navys counted. Army never fully extended his arms

thank you!

That’s every pt session, we always root eachother on, it’s why I hate but love pt at the same time lol

Knew one. SSGT. William R. “Bobby” Hill Recon Marine, Parris Island DI, Great Marine!

Right now you make a point for sure. The army has gone woke. This is very sad. Sure hope this will change. Overall, the training for basic infantry, empathize physical strength and endurance. However, this is weakened as well. Advanced training is for the building of skills, advanced weapons, navigation, communication. Now, the special forces training ( Green Beret ), has a selection process that determines which candidate has the psychological make-up that suites the missions a green beret will perform. During this phase a psychologist will carefully observe each man and determine the ones that will be selected for acceptance into special forces training. In general having brains and bronze with great people skills and moral fiber, communication ability is a good sign a person might be selected.

@@ralphriffle1126 How is this a bad thing, having a psychologist evaluate candidates? And did you mean brains and brawn? When did you serve?

@@ludosad621 the mission requirements are such that normal mentally will not work. A person with above average skills, self actualized, able to learn new languages, able to demonstrate the skills to befriend, lead, educate people from all levels of human existence. He must be able to carry out his mission regardless of extreme conditions, for extended long periods of time. He must live among the people he is working with, earn their respect and trust, he must become one of them. That is the mission of the Green Beret

​@@ralphriffle1126I think I misread at first, and for some reason thought you were implying a psych-eval was a bad thing for the SF types. My mistake!

Would be cake even the fattest of out of shape marines do better then the army guy did

"The department of the navy crucible"

They were in pt attire so ya it should be good 😂

Damn, you ran it in rats too? Respect brother

They were pillow blocks

@@thatguymike131 lmao rite. You'd know.

@Chockyglocky 0 yea. Never had a 300 PFT though. Always maxed pull-ups and sit ups, run I could never get under about 18:40 lol

@Chockyglocky 0 wish I would've went Recon when I was in. Oh well.

Ya i was like no it’s 35 lbs always has been. Went and looked it up and it says 30lbs everywhere. Is this some sort of myth that just stuck with many marines to do 35lbs? I still max out but it’s interesting as I’ve always done 35lbs

Pretty sure NO branch is gonna send their creamiest puffs to another branch's CFT.
