@@primalhauler8484 i knew Swayne will pass, he's younger than me and definetely in better condition (but still he suprised me how well he scored). I will check the requirements and try it definetely myself but I'm not expecting flying colours like Swayne :D (actually I'm less worried of 1.5 mile than pushups :D)

Swayne you need to challenge Sam to do the MIA Terminal D "Late Pilot Run" - the full on sprint from Checkpoint#2 to Gate D60, with Starbucks in one hand and pulling a flight bag in the other. Minus 10 points every time you spill coffee or run over someone's foot with the bag. Great job guys! #USAF

I’ve been watching Swayne even before he was flying in Hawaii, never a disappointment on his clear and informative videos. Nice to see two very accomplished young men. Keep-up the inspirational videos.
you two are seriously couple goals!
Brilliantly done. Congrats to Swayne for crushing it. Keep the content coming Sam.

I cannot stress how healthy running or even walking is. Anything to keep the blood flowing through the body. It also feels really good when you are done with the run or long walk.

What a great couple! Congratulations to both of you, great work Swayne!
Great video! In AFROTC we conduct our PFA once a semester, typically towards the end of the semester-mock FAs are conducted at least once a month so we can see where we stand. Of course with COVID the Big A has postponed all FAs this semester. Our Detachment requires a 93+ for us seniors, I’ll be glad when I take my QFR and FAs after that only require a 75+ 😅
My son got the LOA from Army, Navy and Air Force Academy. We are seriously reviewing the choice which the Academy will fit to him. Thank you for your a lot of info. Your videos are much helpful to us.
Great job both of you, looking forward to future uploads!

Very impressive. Congrats

If you do not meet the minimum score on ANY of the 4 components of the Air Force PT test, you automatically fail the ENTIRE test.
We get 9.00/9.30/10.00 min for under 30 for excellent/good/satisfactory timing and we 1 min for those who cross 30 In India
Hey quick question; what kind of shoes are you guys wearing? They look comfortable as hell

There is a max number of reps? If I do more do I fail or is that the most anyone has ever done in that time?
One min? That's it. Geez how can u not pass.
11;36 for UK air-force on the run, but you guys do more press-ups than us.
If you are in any half way decent shape at all, you can pass the afpft. It's stupidly easy.
Dang, i joined jrotc this freshman year and i did a 1 mile in 11 min and half the push ups and situps

Another thing is he was allowed a big distance between his butt and the back of his shoes. When I did these at Scott AFB, I had to have my Butt within a fist of the back of my shoes. The shorter distance makes the task much more difficult.
