Читать книгу ACFT For Dummies - Angela Papple Johnston - Страница 34

No matter who you are or where you are in your military career, you’re held to the same ACFT standards as every other soldier in your military occupational specialty. The ACFT has gender- and age-neutral scoring requirements, which means females and males must achieve the same minimum scores on the test (although the test does have three physical demand categories that apply to different MOSs, which I cover in Chapter 4). Whether you’re an enlisted soldier, a warrant officer, or a commissioned officer, you have to meet the same standards as your peers across the board, based on your job.

Some of the ACFT events are more difficult for some people to master than others are. Regardless of your personal opinion on whether the ACFT is biased against one gender or certain age groups, the fact remains that the Army isn’t going to change its stance on grading any time soon — and it’s extremely unlikely to go back to pre-ACFT standards that varied based on age and gender. That may mean that you need to work harder than your battle buddy does to score well on a certain event.
