The Army physical training test has long been a measure of a soldier's fitness for duty and for combat. For decades it's been used as the benchmark upon which all other physical fitness has been evaluated. And for decades it has been hotly debated, modified and enhanced to best represent the current mission of the US Army. SGM Chris Mullinax has been charged with developing the Army Fitness Test; the newest version of the PT test that now replaces the Army Combat Fitness Test and its predecessor, the Army Physical Fitness Test. From the Pentagon's US Army Broadcasting Studio, and with a cameo from Sergeant Major of the Army Mike Weimer, Fran Racioppi sat down with SGM Mullinax to breakdown the changes in the test, why combat MOS's are being held to different sex-neutral standards, and how the grading scale is designed to enhance and enforce a standard that ensures warfighting is at the forefront of every soldier's fitness. As a career 75th Ranger Regiment leader, SGM Mullinax also shares why America's national security is reliant on Rangers, and why Ranger School remains the premier leadership standard in the military. Watch, listen or read our conversation as SMA Weimer updates us on the Army's Blue Book and how enforcing the fitness standard is increasing Army readiness.

We're always assessing our physical standards.”“I don't like to start from the minimum standard. That to me is not a place you start any conversation, especially warfighters.”“You should be trying to exceed any standard.”“You can't put competition on a pedestal.”“Right now we're crushing retention. Soldiers want to continue to serve.” “This is a hard life. This is not easy. You chose the path that needs a machete.”“We exist to fight and win. We are not a jobs program.” "Your ability to recover in between them is the true test of your fitness.”“When we have physically fit leadership, it inspires our ranks.” “Our ability to fight and win our wars relies heavily on our fitness.”“As I look at my time in the Ranger Regiment..clear set of standards.” “Things have evolved, but the standard is still the same.”“The most important part about Ranger School is you learn a lot about yourself.”“We're in a space right now where we're transforming as an institution.”“PT might not be the most important thing we do today, but it's the most important thing we do every day.”“We have to be ready. That's just the bottom line.”“Service is hard.

What are the signs of vitamin D deficiency? Vitamin D greatly influences the systems of our body from ensuring calcium supply to our bones to strengthening our immune system. We normally get this vitamin from foods, supplements, and the sun's rays, but when something goes wrong and we face vitamin D deficiency, our body systems may break. For example, sweating that seems a little excessive or not brought on by anything particularly obvious, however, can be a sign that you're lacking vitamin D. So what other signs show a deficiency, how serious is the problem, and what can you do to get more of it? Here at Bright Side, we've studied the most common symptoms of low vitamin D levels and we want to tell you what we've found. TIMESTAMPS: You sweat excessively 1:01 Your bones often ache 1:35 You have muscle pain 2:11 You get sick all the time 2:47 You can't seem to stay energized 3:26 When you get cuts or bruises, they take forever to heal 4:03 You notice more hair falling out of your head than usual 4:52 You can't shake the feeling of sadness 5:25 What can you do to get more of vitamin D? 6:26 #vitamind #vitamindeficiency #lackofvitamins Preview photo credit: FORT MEADE, Md. Sweat drips down the face of a U.S. Army Reserve Soldier from the 200th Military Police Command during a Spin class as part of a Performance Triad program organized by the command and hosted on Fort Meade, Maryland, May 9, 2017. The three-week fitness program took place from May 5-25 to help Soldiers who had either failed the Army Physical Fitness Test or had been on the Army Body Fat Composition program. The camp focused on the triad of overall health: physical fitness, nutrition and sleep, by providing education and personalized coaching to Soldiers in all three of those phases of life and more: By Master Sgt.

In Part Two of a now Three Part Series, Paul talks to Tyler Owens. They began Part Two by discussing what changed his mind to enter the military and joining ARMY ROTC at VMI his senior year. Tyler told Paul about the start of his military journey, a move to San Diego and how some blamed that move for his failed Army Physical Fitness Test (the last requirement needed to be commissioned as an Officer in the US Army). As you'll learn in this episode, there was a very good and scary reason Tyler didn't pass the test. He told Paul about the challenges of finally obtaining his commission, Infantry Basic Officer Leader Course at Fort Benning and his unique US Army Ranger School experience. Tyler finished this episode by telling Paul about his wife and their story, including first meeting her when he was only nine years old. Part Three is coming and they will wrap up the series by talking about more of his Army career, his overseas deployment and what he's up to now.
This year's best warrior competition for Army Reserve Medical Command was held at Joint Base Lewis-McCord, Washington, the 13th thru the 17th of April. Ten Noncommissioned officers and five enlisted Soldiers represented their respective brigades, with the goal to be selected as the best for either the NCO or enlisted category, and go forward to “represent” ARMEDCOM at the U.S. Army Reserve level competition held on Fort Bragg, North Carolina in June. The competition included standard events like the Army Physical Fitness Test, land navigation and weapons qualification, but also included mystery events like a combat water survival course, a medical lane and a timed obstacle course.
Jason and Rich discuss the recent news that someone in their area does not know who RENNIKS is. They also mention that somebody hit them up about trying out a new product, which they are excited about. However, they caution that the product is not a miracle worker. The speaker is talking about his YouTube channel, Surviving Dad Life, which is a channel about dads and outdoor cooking. He talks about how he's been taking a break from it, but he's recently started using a supplement that is supposed to help with mental alertness, energy, and memory. He's on day three of taking it and he's already noticed that he doesn't feel the need to take naps anymore. He says he's going to try it out for a while before he talks about it on his channel. The conversation is about a man named Renniks, who is a comic relief character on the podcast. They are discussing how he has become popular and how he is selling shirts with his face on them. They are also discussing how he is becoming more like a Jackass character on the show. The speakers discuss a woman who called the police because her neighbor was watering his marijuana plants and the water was running onto her property. They debate whether or not this is a valid reason to call the police.

So you got 80 pounds or it might be 45 pounds. So it's 90 pounds and you do 20 meters, 20 back, set them down, and then it's a final sprint. And I think they should always keep that because it's more of a realistic combat scenario. You sprint 20 yards or 20 meters, you sprint back, then you have there's a sled that's got £90 on it, and you pull it 20 yards or meters and 20 meters back. Most of the stuff we do, we just did our physical fitness test last year, and I sand backed it and I passed it with ease. One of the events is now plank. I can't remember what time it was, but we were pulled up on the side of the road, and now we come around the corner, somebody looked up at us, and I took off running. My take is that people need to just mind their own business. It has a flat tire on the side of the road. What do you think is going on?.

United States Army Reserve Soldiers from the 167th Combat Service Support Battalion; 1st Battalion, 304th infantry Regiment; and 362nd Mobile Public Affairs Detachment took the new fitness test to experience it for the first time 3 March, 2019 in Londonderry, NH. The six-event test was part of an initial fielding phase in effort to expose U.S. Army Reserve Soldiers to the future test of record for all components of the U.S. Army, as well as a means to collect data on Soldier performance to determine initial standards for the test slated to replace the three-event Army Physical Fitness Test on 1 October, 2020.

I met Travis Wolfe a few months back when I spoke at the Kiddiepreneur Expo. His son, Travis, came up to me to ask questions about my books that I had for sale. He immediately wanted to go get his dad and bring him over because he seen we had a lot in common. Boy was he right! I got to have both Travis Wolfe and his daughter Aniya Wolfe over to my house to record episodes soon after. In this episode we talk quite in depth about what it is like to be a black cop in America with the current climate of tension going on. You really just have to give it a listen! About Travis Wolfe Travis Wolfe was born in (west) Philadelphia, PA but spent a lot of his life growing up in multiple towns in New Jersey. With both of his parents being addicted to drugs and his father also being addicted to alcohol, Wolfe, along with his siblings were placed into the foster care system by their family members. Wolfe bounced around between multiple foster homes and a group home between the ages of 8 and 12 years old, during which time he was a victim of physical abuse and rape. In between those years, Wolfe and his siblings had gotten out of the foster care system when his great aunt took them into her home; but Wolfe was placed back into the system because of his behavioral issues. By 1996, Wolfe's father had gotten clean and sober and had gotten Wolfe out of the system. His father introduced him to the teachings of the bible and encouraged Travis to live a holy lifestyle. It was through those teachings that he developed his spiritual foundation. In 1999, after a dispute with his father, he ran away from home and ended up in Lawnside, NJ with his great aunt, again. Between that time and 2002, He had been kicked out of 6 different homes of friends and family that had taken him in. In 2002, after making a decision to turn his life around, Wolfe graduated from Haddon Heights High School, with honors, and attended Temple University. In 2003, he co-founded a community service organization called GoodFellaz at the university which won the top student organization award “Best Organization” in 2006. Wolfe met his wife Diana Cherubin in 2004 at a Dunkin' Donuts on the campus. In 2007, he left Temple University to join the Philadelphia Police Department and In late 2007, he reapplied to Temple University and graduated in 2009 with a bachelor's degree in criminal justice. In 2013, at 29 years old, Wolfe joined the United States Army and graduated Basic Combat Training at Fort Sill, OK with honors and among the top in his class in Physical Fitness, scoring the coveted 300 mark on the Army Physical Fitness Test. He had turned 30 years old while in Basic Combat Training. While in the Army's Officer Candidate School, an Injury forced him to be separated from the Army. He received an Uncharacterized Discharge in 2014. Jan. 31, 2014, Wolfe was promoted to Sergeant with the Philadelphia Police Department. He served in some of the worst violent crime areas in the city. He is a decorated member of the department in which he still currently serves. Wolfe has done work with community organizations either by dedicating his personal time or as a member of the department. This includes work with the Special Olympics, youth organizations and mentoring organizations throughout Philadelphia and New Jersey. In 2015, Travis made the decision that he was going to “change the world.” He pursued this worthy ideal and opined that by empowering society to change their mindset and attain success in their individual lives, his ideal would come to fruition on a grand scale. Garnering inspiration from his life's story and personal life experiences; which include, being a victim of child abuse, sexual abuse and sexual assault (rape), homelessness, poverty, the foster care system and drug/alcohol addicted parents; his goal is to empower everyone from youth to senior to overcome their victimization, eliminate excuses and achieve greatness and success in their lives....
