If you fail the running part of the Physical fitness test, will you have to keep taking it until you pass?
Recently I took the Physical Fitness Test. I failed the running portion but passed everything else. Will I have to keep taking it until I pass?

Under what circumstances did you take this PFT? What was your max time, and your actual time?
Thomas asks…
Can an overweight person who can pass the U.S. Marine Corps Physical Fitness Test still join the USMC?
Can an overweight person who can pass the U.S. Marine Corps Physical Fitness Test still enlist in the USMC? For example, if a person’s Body Mass Index (BMI) is around 30, but they can still meet the physical requirements of the U.S. Marine Corps, can they still enlist or become an Officer?
admin answers:
If your body fat percentage is within the guidelines then you are fine. Even Schwartzenegger had a BMI of nearly 50, but a BF% in the low single digits. If you are above weight and above the BF%, you are out of luck – and it doesn’t matter if you are an olympic athlete… You HAVE to be within weight or BF.
Betty asks…
Are you allowed to retake the physical fitness test for special forces again?
I signed up for the Canadian Army, I currently fit the regular forces standards, but i am planning to join the JTF2 later when I am older and a more experienced soldier as I am only 16 at the moment. But when joining the JTF2, do they take your original fitness test into account, or do they retest you to see if you meet their requirements?
Yes I am aware of how difficult it is to get in, I expect it to be very challenging and demanding.
admin answers:
Canadian Forces members must take the fitness test every year (every 2 years if you get an exempt rating). Plus you will need to take a special fitness test during the application process for JTF2. I hope you understand how difficult it is?
