The Tier 2 tests are new, so only the standards for Air Liaison Officer (ALO 13L) and Tactical Air Control Party (TACP 1C4) Airmen are currently available on the Air Force Fitness Program website. The tests measure muscular strength, endurance and power, and cardiorespiratory endurance. The USAF tests battlefield Airmen on the Tier 2 physical standards every year to make sure they have the fitness levels the need to do their jobs. See the MSPS checklists and the NAVMC 3500 (series) Training and Readiness manuals for your MOS for specific details. Visit the Marine Corps Physical Fitness website for more information about the MSPS. Since a 0313 LAR Crewman likely won’t ever have to breach a door, it isn’t one of the 0313 MSPS tests. For example, one of the 0311 Infantryman tests is to breach a door with a battering ram. The MSPS is only given to Marines at the Schools of Infantry at Camps Geiger or Pendleton, or to those who want to change to a GCA MOS, with a different battery of tests depending on what job you want to do. Like the Army’s OPAT, the MSPS is a set of tests that assess muscular strength and power. Find more info about the OPAT in SMOM 17-041. For example, 31A Military Police Soldiers are automatically granted a gray physical performance level because the 31A physical performance category is “significant.” You only need to take the OPAT and earn a black-level score if you want to reclassify MOS into a “heavy” physically demanding MOS such as 11A Infantry. For prior-service Soldiers who entered IET before, you’re automatically given the highest performance category for your MOS without having to take the test. Recruits need to take the OPAT within the first 90 days of IET. Performance below the gold standard, white, is considered an unqualifying performance. Performance on the OPAT is graded as black, gray, and gold, and qualifies you for MOS categories with physical demands rated as heavy, significant, and moderate. The OPAT consists of a standing long jump, seated power throw, 1-rep max deadlift, and an aerobic interval run. The OPAT is a series of 4 tests, given only in Initial Entry Training (IET) or if a Soldier wants to reclassify MOS into a more physically demaning one, which assess muscular strength and power, and cardiorespiratory endurance. The idea is to identify members early in their careers who will be physically able to perform the intense physical requirements of ground combat arms (GCA) jobs. The Air Force has Tier 2 Physical Standards. The Marines have MOS Specific Physical Standards (MSPS). The Army currently uses the Occupational Physical Assessment Test. The change was made in an effort to maximize deployability, reduce training costs, and ensure all Military Service Members can perform at their best. I washed enough of them damn trucks as an 0811.In the last few years, the Army, Marine Corps, and Air Force started conducting job-specific physical fitness tests that use the same standards for both men and women. But, if MT is the only thing they will let me back in as, I will gladly take it. I would however like to move to the 03 field. Those who look down upon you will praise you for getting them out of harms way. MT rescues in some instances, it reinforces units, and "transports" obviously. For instance, a supply guy could be hanging out in a CP tent back on post, but if he's mounting your gun on your truck and crap hits the fan, he is just as likely to meet hell as much as an 03. You will be considered a pog, but that doesn't mean you won't get into trouble. I'd have to say that it's a lot more dangerous than being on foot because you're sitting in a 15' x 8' x 12' target. Different scenarios call for different reactions. So, you learn the strategy of defense within that vehicle. Again, 2003.Īlongside with being a rifleman, you are a truck driver. The life expectancy of a Motor T Marine in combat is 3 seconds. The life expectancy of a grunt in combat is 8 seconds. The only difference is that they go through MCT instead of SOI.
