That in order to get an 11B contract I need to jump 8'25, it doesn't matter whether I won't sign on as another MOS.

I've never understood the practical application of a standing leap, although I guess in an infantry scenario you might be on a narrow ledge and have to jump a gap to a building or something

doesn't seem like a common scenario though

Kek, I'm 6'1 and can only jump 6'. I'm 195lbs and squat 600lb RAW. I've checked my form and watched a bunch of videos on it, and still can't get more than 6 feet and some change. Are you guys measuring from the front of the toes in the starting position to the back heel of the rear most foot on landing?
>>
>>30010731
Your form is shit. I'm fat and out of shape, and I jump 2.2m or 7.2'
>>
>>30010749
How, I'm watching every video. Fast arm movement down and spring jump as the arms come down, then fast arm movement up to propel me forward. Feet forward, glutes tight, eyes focused far ahead. How are you getting that distance? I seriously and doubting some of the scores here.
>>
>>30010760
By first extending my whole body, then compressing it, then extending it again as explosively as I humanly can, whilst attempting to jump as high as possible whilst still going forward properly. You should have a good enough grasp on your own body to be able to use it as a spring and take advantage of its momentum.

I'm 100kg of fat at 6' and I outjump you. I hardly have any muscles to speak of. This should not be possible. You're awful.

this.
dad was a recruiter and told me this shit when i went to recruiters.
if they come up with some reason you can't go do a certain MOS, when you nail every other criteria, they're going for something else and infantry is full.
keep trying anon.
wait a few months for infantry to open back up and keep yourself fit, when you go back you'll probably be waivered and be fine.

>just go to a different recruiter
>infantry is closed, that's why they're doing this

The amount of never served/outdated info in this thread is hilarious. 11x is open right now and anyone interested must pass at the highest OPAT tiers which means a 8'2.5" long jump.

If you want in that's the standard to meet. Can't make it? Too bad, fuck off. If you're in DEP I'd be making sure you can pass for when they administer you the OPAT in the immediate future so you don't get dropped. If you're in now better start making sure you're passing your OPAT tier because you're looking at two strikes and OTH in the coming months.

For those who are interested in 11x and can pass the OPAT there are slots available.
>>
>>30011467
>>30010243
Does this apply to 18x candidates?
>>
>>30011467

recruiting anon do you know much about 25s?
>>
>>30011487

Yes.
If you haven't shipped already make sure you can pass. You might not be required to do one or your recruiter might call you out of the blue in 1-5 business days to schedule conducting one. The OPAT just kicked in at recruiting stations last night.
>>

Just what you know, I wasn't a pogue

Where are the full standards at for the other events besides the jump?
>>
>>30011529

Got you. I'm Navy and was thinking about going from Blue to Green
>>
>>30011546

I haven't memorized them all yet. This just dropped last night. If you really want to know come in to your local recruiting office and speak to myself or one of my colleagues, we'll tell you all about the new OPAT over some Red Lobster.
>>
>>30010474
wouldn't an easier way to measure that be...having the recruit lift stuff up
>>
>>30011467
How about 12x Candidates?
>>
>>30011630

Each MOS will have a different tier of the OPAT as their minimum, I don't have them all memorized yet. What I do know is combat arms (11x, 19d, 18x, etc) all must pass the highest tier of the OPAT.

And to confirm: we are signing women as 11x right now.
>>
>>30011683

And this is the end.
>>
>>30011787

If you know anyone who is looking at enlisting 35 series or making a career out of it these days let them know they're in the above average tier and will need at least a 7'7" standing long jump. As someone mentioned before this is measured from the toe starting position to the heel landing position.

How fucked am I?
>>
>>30012333

See: >>30011467

You very likely will have to do it in the immediate future.

Get some measuring tape, mark a line at your toes for the starting position, measure 8'2.5" away and mark a line there for where you heels must go past, and do a standing long jump.
>>
>>30012333
Same boat, 11x shipping in August. I can not jump that far.

I smell bullshit. Just got done at the recruiters; there are no requirements to begin these requirements yet.

>>30012394

If they're Army Recruiters (not another branch or NG) give me their recruiting station number. The only excuse they have for not administering the OPAT to you is that they don't have the necessary equipment in yet.

>>
>>30012445
Can you link us to combat arms requirements somewhere?
>>
>>30012543

They're on my computer at the office and I'll have to check if I can post them, if this thread is still up by then and I'm able to I will. I don't know if OP's recruiters were in the right to let him have a copy of or take a picture of the standing long jump score tiers.

That said, echoing the video from earlier, combat arms will need to do one rep of a 100, 140, 180, and 220lbs deadlift, standing long jump to 8'2.5", shuttle runs, seated medicine ball throw. I don't remember the scoring necessary for those though.
>>
>>30010731

Pretty sure your not squatting 600 tiger.

Stop bullshitting and start running, jumping, running stairs, running pulling a shute, and more jumping.

>>
>>30013894
At your height and weight you can't improve it. Your ability to recruit explosive power for jumps is pretty much already maxed out.

If you were a fat ass and lost weight you would see an improvement but as it stands it can't really be trained aside from ensuring you have proper technique.

Watch from :39 to 1:00 as world famous strength coach Mark Rippetoe explains.

i am shock he put in realistic run times

>>30014039
The only way anyone is gonna believe a jabba like you is if you post a youtube clip or webm of you making such a jump with measuring tape clearly visible. Fatties always exaggerate their output and underestimate their input.

That's nice. Anyone can troll.
The Army did not coincedentally adopt a random list from a small website, and use their exact numbers.
The guy responding also conveniently forgot all the other numbers.
The guy responding also claimed he didn't know if he could share the numbers with people, after confirming one of the numbers was supposedly "legit".
Bogus.
You know what? It's not hard to call up a recruiting office and just ask.

I kind of figured as much, and I did some more digging and some article written with TRADOC on Militurry.com said there will be tier 1, 2, and 3 physical scores
Infantry is likely to be a mix of 1/2, and shit like an option 40 or 18x is likely to pull all 1s

That said, I seriously doubt a 1 is the near impossible 8'2.5" that was brought up
>>
>>30014297
The guy pretending he's a recruiter also claims it will be an other than honorable discharge if current soldiers can't meet the new standards.

>>30014342
what are entry level recruits?
>>
>>30014234
kind of curious how you made it up that far. started out being only able to do 10 really slow, im up to 30 fairly quick only slowing at the last 5. got any tips? could you elaborate on the breathing?

>>30014234
also how much do you weigh? and how many did you start out with?
>>
>>30014372
Before MEPS and at MEPS fags iirc

And honestly
Just apply logic to it

That number would literally mean less than 1/100 applicants could possibly pass an 11x preliminary

He's trolling
>>
>>30014342
Recruits that haven't picked a job yet.
As opposed to recruits that have been in the Delayed Entry Program for 8 months.
The OPAT is a one time thing. The DEP has you do their 1-1-1 (half the APFT) more than once depending on the station. The OPAT will just be a check on a list to see what jobs you're eligible for, if it even rolls out. I just called a recruiting office myself. The Sergeant that picked up said he's aware of the OPAT, but they're not even administering it at this time.

Do your max, then 8 hours later attempt again. Work different muscle groups for 2 days. Do that again. Rinse and repeat. Inhale twice for every exhale. Not one big breathe.

>>30014552
Likely, yes. Disregard most of /k/, as usual.
Also, anyone concerned should just pick up the phone and call a recruiter. A little late in the day to do so now, but there might even still be some in the office.

You are both stronger and faster than Rich Froning. Congrats you can now get gold and 100,000 dollars at the next crossfit games.

Likely yes

Listen mate, practice for your APFT and your OPAT. Both of them. I remember how bad I wanted that fucking 11x. Go for it anon

Long jump seems more important for infantry than situps, tbqh.

>>30014705
What? Are you that faggot who posted those outrageous numbers or not? Cause if you are you werent just asking you were bullshitting and lying. Which means you are a faggot and will most likely never join anyway. Again, drop dead.
>>
>>30014736
Yeah probably wont join. Too many meatheads that cant do 200 push ups but still pretend to be tough. If the people are anything like you, I would hate it.

I'm 5'7", 230 lbs, 29 inch inseam, and a sedentary office worker.

For the opposite reason why faggots come here and tell lies on the internet.
>>
>>30014798
that is because there is no fucking reason to do 200 pushup because you only have 2 minutes to test. So unless you think you can perform over 1 1/2 pushups a second for two minute kindly go suck start a shotgun.
Hell even the man beasts that all they did was PT could only get around 140+ and to score it the counter had to have a clicker to not fuck up the count .

I have never taken a military test. Probably takes me at least 10 minutes to max.

As I said you can prove it to me by winnin 100grand at the cross fit games. Ill watch em on tv. With those numbers you will win for sure. You do want a free 100,000 right?

Then why are you considering the military? Why are you posting here?

so let me get this right you jump on a Mil board post max and are shocked when people call bullshit and you not even using the same testing method that everyone understands to prevent confusion. fuck hell i need a drink and to go fuck with joe. congrats you have just caused a smoke session to start just to see what i can get out of the PT stud

12B is overstrength in the active component last I heard. I can guarantee you National Guard and Reserve units have slots in any engineering MOS.
>>
>>30015013
1) No it is always dumb
2) was just poking with the idea. Also why no sports teams.
3) look up the barkley marathon. Hardest race on earth. Only completed by sperglords.

We are good at repetition. Very good.

>>30015042
If it has a time limit it isnt much of a max, is it?

>to be an 11b you need to be a l33t parcouring oper8or

maybe OP just sucks, maybe this is a massive troll thread, or maybe the OPAT won't be a gay as it seems to be.

It seems less like an organized fitness battery and more like a gameshow. a hella gay gameshow.

What these people who put this shit together seem to be forgetting is that the old army fitness test could be completed in under 30 minutes with no setup. You'll need to put together a fucking Ninja warrior set to do the new tests and it'll take hours, if not days to complete all the events if done in order a group at a time. Probably will be a massive pain in the ass boondoggle that everyone hates, then quietly gets swept under the rug and replaced with a slightly modified version of the old standard.
>>
The test are supposed to be gender and age neutral.
The actual standards have not been released, and recruits wont be tested on it until June 2016. OP is a troll.
>>
>>30015054

Crossfit encourages improper form

They usually don't even have good form for pull ups
>>
>>30015090
Honestly I dont do public events. Id be petrified in front of a crossfit crowd.

>2 mins max
Stop nit picking
>>
>>30015092
>good form for pull ups
Cause they arent doing pull-ups. Thats the whole point. Its a variation not a strict form bersion.
>>30015092
>Crossfit encourages improper form
It actually doesnt, the reason why so many poeple get hurt is cause they simply have bad form,
Watch the top athletes their form is perfect. Just like yours im sure. So again please go compete you lying faggot.
>>30015113
How is it nit picking? Thats what they do.
>Id be petrified in front of a crossfit crowd.
Isnt 100,000 worth it though?
>>
Alright /k/, read yourselves some fucking facts.
>http://www.defense.gov/Portals/1/Documents/wisr-studies/Army%20-%20MEDCOM%20USARIEM%20Task%20Assessment3.pdf

Control+F "long jump" and go down to the charts.
When the Army did the study for this shit, a standing long jump of 8' 2.5" was unachievable for over 90 percent of test subjects.
Does anyone honestly think that we could fill half the slots of our current infantry branch if we made 90% of applicants ineligible for entrance?
You do not, and will not, need to jump over 8 feet across the floor to join a combat arms mos. They have not released their numbers, and no one knows them yet. The test might not even be implemented.
Any other dumb worries? Anyone?
>>
>>30015084
this

will probably have shit like the long jump be scaled by height and the score be a ratio of height to horizontal jump or you'll have nothing but lankey fucks in infantry.
>>
>>30010243
You can still get 11x even if you suck at long jumping. It's up to the recruiter whether or not you "pass" any test. I know of plenty of people who went in with an 18x contract that couldn't even pass the apft. Just be persistent about it and make it obvious you don't want any other mos. Good luck and I hope you get it.
>>
>>30015129
You have no idea how anxiety can push a person. I do that many push ups so that I dont pull my hair out.

>>30015178
>ou have no idea how anxiety can push a person
Nope and i dont want one. Sorry you are a sperg who will never get 100,000$ cause he has mental problems.
>>30015184
No thats how i did it
>>
>>30015129
The top athletes have shit form, just like yours I'm sure
>>
>>30015090
But it's not June. The army doesn't do shit till the day of.
The opat will be gay, easy shit that will stop literally no one. Only way to make it gender and age neutral
>>30015131
It's a troll thread man. /k/ is easy to troll

Im ok with that. You should appologize for being so abusive because you are jealous of something I do privately.

while true was still going to fuck them up this weekend. they think the platoon does not know about how the cherries are getting their beer. so all this did was move it up a few hours. i had planned on smoking them when they were hungover and then going for breakfast. now i get an extra session in.
>>
>>30015352
Woman.

>>30015901

Have them all do standing long jumps, it'll be an obscure type of fucking and they'll need it when the OPAT comes to town.
>>
>>30010243
When did this test come in? I enlisted as 11C March 9th and didn't have to do that shit

if 90% of the population includes women maybe yeah, you fucking manlet
>>
>>30018486
Read the fucking study. 90% of the male population is incapable of an 8' 2.5" long jump. It's closer to 93%. For women it's... Well, just look at it. Hah.
>>
ITT: People who don't understand the long jump. None of you fuckers can do a standing long jump to that standard. Most of /fit/ can not. The army will not use that asspulled number.
>>
>>30018537
>None of you fuckers can do a standing long jump to that standard.


I just read the thread and thought, "Pffft I'm still in Infantry shape. I'll see how hard it is to jump 8'4"."

Walked outside of my office just now and taped off 8'2.5"

Jumped 7'8"
Jumped 7'9"
Jumped 7'8" again but can't even stick the landing
Jumped same another 3 times


LMFAO hory shet good luck on your jump, champs!
