The only insignia authorized for wear on the APFU is the Physical Fitness Badge. When the physical fitness badge is worn, it is sewn on the upper left front side of the APFU T-shirt. On the APFU running jacket, the insignia is sewn centered 1⁄2 inch above the word “Army.” Soldiers are authorized to wear commercially purchased black spandex shorts under the APFU trunks. The length of the shorts must end above the knee or higher. The commercial shorts must be plain, with no logos, patterns, or obtrusive markings. Soldiers are not required to buy the spandex shorts. This is an optional purchase. Only pregnant Soldiers are authorized to wear the APFU shirt outside of the trunks. Commanders may authorize the wear of commercial running shoes, calf-length or ankle-length plain white/black socks with no logos, gloves, reflective belts or vests, long underwear, and other items appropriate to the weather conditions and type of activity. If Soldiers wear long underwear or other similar items, they must conceal them from view when wearing the running jacket and pants of the APFU.
The intent of the APFT is to provide an assessment of your physical readiness. Physical Fitness testing is designed to ensure that every Soldier is maintaining a high level of physical performance, regardless of MOS or duty assignment.

APFT Scorecard – Your Progress…
The APFT provides a measure of upper and lower body muscular endurance. It is a performance test that indicates a Soldier’s ability to perform physically and handle his or her own body weight. APFT standards are adjusted for age and physiological differences between male and female. The APFT consists of three events:
The events are performed in that order and on the same day. Soldiers are allowed a minimum of 10 minutes and a maximum of 20 minutes rest between events. All three events must be completed within two hours. Soldiers in BCT must attain 50 points in each event and an overall score of 150 points to meet APFT minimum standards. You should push yourself to achieve your maximum performance in each event. Soldiers in AIT and OSUT must attain a score of at least 60 points on each event and an overall score of at least 180 points to graduate. The maximum score a Soldier can attain on the APFT is 300 points. This should be your goal.
