The APFT is the US Army Physical Fitness Test. It consists of three events, pushups, sit ups, and a two-mile run; however, at the time I retired from the army in May 1983, soldiers age forty or over were required to do just the run. Passing score on the test is 60 points out of 100. A woman age 62 or over needs to run the two miles in 20:00 or better to get 100 points. Sixty points requires 24:55 to 25:00. (BTW, these times for a man aged 62 or older would get 60 and 13 points, respectively; a man that age needs 15:42 to max the run.)
I decided, instead of my scheduled three mile run, to see how well I would do on this test today, so I ran two miles. My time was 24:23, which was good for 65 points. In fact, that time is a passing score for a woman aged 52.

Don't let GW get wind of it or you may be busy for the next 15 months.

I have been safe from recall ever since my 62nd birthday. They would have to change federal law to recall me.
But considering that it is GW, you pay have a point. But he wouldn't want me back on active duty because I take my oath to protect and defend the *constitution* very seriously. I also take seriously my oath to obey *lawful* orders of those appointed above me.
-- Crossing the starting line is 90%. Crossing the finish line is the other 90%.

Trust me, they don't want that puss in any uniform except a macdonalds apron.
