<p>12/4 days...we don't need a nine in there. ;)</p>
<p>you're right!</p>
<p>That's not too bad bluesuiter. We used to call the 12 plus 18th minute. Then we stopped because the upperclassmen can't add. :)</p>
<p>If USAFA can't teach them to add, who can? Score one for the ROTC guys.</p>
<p>12-Tiger Ten days until the weekend.</p>
<p>HuZzAh! and LUUUUUUUUUKE!!! :)</p>
<p>uh, no.
Have a great eagle eight night.</p>
<p>how 'bout you multiply that 8 with a 12/4 for a hardcore 2-4
mwahahahahaaa!</p>
<p>Ma'am, Rosa Parks' quote is as follows!!... "NO"</p>
<p>Don't forget Amelia Earhart's quote. Or Helen Keller's quote...</p>
<p>wait, what's amelia earhart's quote?</p>
<p>Basketball throw: 50'
Pull ups: 12
Situps: 81
Shuttle Run: 9.0
Pushups: 53
Mile run: 7:15</p>
<p>Those were my results, I am retaking it nxt week. mile and basketball throw I think are shaky D: what do you guys think?</p>
<p>yea, i don't know what that is.</p>
<p>In any case, mile is a lil shaky as is the throw just like you said. Just focus on those and maybe get just a few more pushups ;) (12 more if you can)</p>
<p>yeah, whats a decent basketball throw, that thing is so weird. I was sick yesterday so I think I can definitely get the mile below 7. 12 more is the max XD that would be nice.</p>
<p>definately work on the mile, pushups, and b-ball throw. see if you can get a few more situps as well.</p>
<p>From the CFA instruction for the USAFA</p>
<p>TABLE 2. Mean entering candidate performance scores by event and gender. M/F
BB Throw 68/40
Pullup 10/3
Shuttle 9.5/10.4
Crunch 74/72
Pushup 55/36
1 Mile 6:54? (listed as 6:90) /8:00</p>
<p>The minimum on the bball throw is 54' feet, you need to improve that. Everything else looks pretty good though.</p>
<p>3 things I have learned that DO help on the CFA (we preppies have to take it every quarter - just took it today)</p>
<ol>
<li>To prepare for pullups doing pyramid pullups really do help. It increased my score by 7 pullups since BMT.</li>
<li>Anyone can max situps when done "the Air Force" way - just go down until the tip of your shoulder blade hits(for me about middle of my back), then go up stretching your elbows to no higher than mid-thigh. Should give you at least 10+ extra compared to full real situps.</li>
<li>BB throw - try and curl your body about the same way you would do a real situp. The extra "umph" at the end of the situp will give you at least an extra 5 or so feet. I got 72' this morning.</li>
</ol>
<p>Yeah, doing "modified crunches" vs. full sit-ups makes a huge difference. I can add 40 to 50 over 2 minutes by doing modified crunches. (I am fairly decent at them to start with...my best was 134 in two minutes). Do these everyday! One set of 100-150 sit-ups per day will improve your score by a LOT (and they help with flutter kicks).</p>
<p>I went from 80 sit-ups to 95 just by switching form. Amazing! Also maxed pull-ups by practicing with pyramids. :)</p>
