In an effort to help ensure that everyone is accelerating their First F and provide some baselines for our fitness levels here in Memphis, we hold quarterly fitness tests. The test is modeled after the new Army Combat Fitness Test with some modifications. We will aim to hold the test on the first Saturday of each quarter at the Barracks along with several AOs throughout the following week.
