Found this nifty Air Force Physical Fitness Test Calculator (http://military.plainfacts.net/air_force_fitness_calculator.php) online and thought I'd share it here.
The AF has quite the peculiar PT test in place that is based on 100 points.
You can get:
50 pts on the 1.5 mile run
30 pts based on the circumference of your abdomin
10 pts for 1 minute of push-ups
10 pts for 1 minute of sit-ups
Notice the abdomin check. Regardless of height, this part is scored the same. Whether you stand 6' 4" or 5' 4", you are required to have a certain sized abdomin for your max points.
Luckily, I'm a fairly good runner so I make up most of my points there.
I actually decided to try myself at the AFPT standards last weekend.
I'm 6'1", 155 lbs, 32 inch waist, 26-29 years.
I did 40 pushups in a minute, 60 situps and ran the 1.5 in 8:42.
That gives me a 98% because of the pushups.
My wife has had to do like 6 AFPT tests this year between the ANG, Field Training, ROTC, etc. She routinely scores 96-100. But then again, she likes running marathons and stuff. I think she has another test coming up this month.
Although I think the program works for the AF, I don't think that it would work well for us in CAP. Different objectives with the program and all.
Thanks for sharing UK!

I don't like you very much.
But of course, I was about 170 lbs in my mid-20s too. I'm 6' 2" and packing 215 lbs of chewed bubble gum and have a 36" waist, which I'm thinking may be 37" now.
Last year I got an 84.4 by getting:
10:36 on the run.
43 push-ups
53 sit-ups
36" waist
I'm shooting for 85 this year (next month) because I think I increase my speed to <10:24. We'll see.
Wow so I guessed about what I did on my last APFT and put it in. I dont score the best on the APFT but got a 80% on the AFPT. haha can I change services now please???????

...but got a 80% on the AFPT.
80%? You're at least 10 years younger than me and your service has higher physical standards than the AF. How come just 80%?
Cause I am not PT stud!!! I cant run is my biggest problem. Oh and I am gaining the alcohol reserve right now in preparation of my upcoming deployment
