ROTC AFA

The ROTC Applicant Fitness Assessment (AFA) is a component of the ROTC application and must be submitted to your recruiter in order for the application to be complete. The purpose of the test is to evaluate your level of physical fitness.

There are three fitness events: push-ups, modified sit-ups, and a one-mile run. Applicants should attempt to do their best on all events, keeping in mind that the events are sequenced to produce a cumulative loading effect.

Each exercise ends when you can no longer perform a rep, or time expires. You may also cease work it you have scored the maximum for any individual event.

  • Push-ups

    01:00 minutes to perform as many repetitions as possible

  • Curl-Ups

    01:00 minutes to perform as many repetitions as possible
