I have a question regarding the PT test because I have heard 2 different standards.

I have heard that those that will be going to AIT after WTC only need to score 50 in each event and those going on to their duty assignment have to score 60 or more in each. Then I heard that everyone has to score 60 or more regardless. Which is it?

My goal is to score 75 or more in each event either way but I would still like to know which one it is.

I don't know why this keeps getting misunderstood. Going to AIT...50% / Going to your unit...60%

Regardless of what anybody tells you, that is the way it goes here at Fort Sill, OK. Trust me, I work here, I grade your PT test, I ensure you have AIT or UNIT written on your PT card to ensure we know what standard to grade you on. I don't mean to seem irritated but that question has been answered literally over 100 times. Not your fault, Quaymar, but people put out bad info and don't really know the right answer.

Quick question about Boots. Can I purchase my own boots ahead of time and be breaking them in before arriving at WTC and would I be allowed to wear them ? If so does anyone know what brand/name boots are considered acceptable ?
Thanks for your help.

I question Soldiers asking about dental work needing done, or any medical proceedures while training. (Soldiers don't take offense... it's just a common problem causing you to be delayed, or found unfit to train.)

WTC is designed to get you up to speed on skills and training tasks so that you survice the first 100 days of combat, and know what IET Soldiers learned in BCT.

It's not for free medical care. If you arrive with prior existing medical problems... you may find yourself being discharged. If your dental issue is a small concern... YOU MAY have time to get that work done, but the training is the priority.

While inprocessing, you will have a medical/dental screening to establish you're fit for training. If you need some type of work completed before entering the training pipeline, you may find yourself delayed and not shipping with the rest of your buddies.

Twiggy77 - If you're Active... they will do minor work, but this could delay your training. If it needs to be done, the dental exam will let you know.
