Key takeaways
- The current PFT uses pull-ups or push-ups, the mandatory plank, and the three-mile run or an authorized row. 12
- A full-test total must reach 150 and each event minimum must be met. 1
- Combat-arms PMOSs use male age-normed scoring and a 210-point PFT standard from January 1, 2026. 3
- Push-ups have a lower maximum score than pull-ups. 1
What are the current Marine PFT events?
The PFT contains an upper-body event, the plank and a three-mile run, with rowing available only under the order’s conditions. 12
Scroll sideways inside this table if needed. The page itself does not scroll sideways.
| Component | Input | Important rule |
|---|---|---|
| Upper body | Correct pull-ups or two-minute push-ups | Choose one; scores cannot be combined. |
| Core | Plank time | Crunches are no longer an authorized PFT alternative. |
| Aerobic | Three-mile run time | Use approved altitude tables when applicable. |
| Authorized aerobic alternative | 5,000-meter row time | Not the Navy’s 2,000-meter rowing event. |
Push-ups are capped at 70 points in the upper-body event; pull-ups can earn 100. The plank is required from January 1, 2023. 12
How do the general and combat-arms PFT standards differ?
The general full-test passing score is 150 with all event minimums met, while listed combat-arms PMOSs have a separate 210-point requirement using male age-normed scoring. 13
Scroll sideways inside this table if needed. The page itself does not scroll sideways.
| General full-test class | Total points, after meeting event minimums |
|---|---|
| Third class | 150–199 |
| Second class | 200–234 |
| First class | 235–300 |
These class boundaries do not erase the combat-arms occupational standard. A combat-arms Marine at 200 may have a general second-class score yet remain below 210. MARADMIN 613/25 applies the change to the PFT; do not automatically apply it to the CFT. 34
What is a verified Marine PFT example?
A Marine using the male age-21–25 table earns 70 for 14 pull-ups, 70 for a 2:28 plank and 70 for a 23:00 three-mile run at standard altitude. 1, tables 2-2, 2-4 and 2-5
The total is 210: a second-class score that also reaches the combat-arms PFT point requirement, assuming those are the applicable standards and every event is valid. The plank table is age- and sex-neutral: 1:10 is the minimum 40-point row and 3:45 is the maximum 100-point row. 12
For the next class in this example, 235 − 210 = 25 more points are needed. That is a point gap, not a promise that a fixed number of extra repetitions will add 25; each event’s table must be checked.
Can I choose rowing or claim a partial PFT?
Rowing and partial tests require the specific conditions and approvals in the order. 1, chapters 1–2
Marines aged 46 or older may select the 5,000-meter row. Younger Marines may use it for a qualifying medical or postpartum reason with the required health-care recommendation and command approval. A medically excused event is not a self-selected zero or an automatic full-test pass. Partial tests have different requirements and should be reviewed by the command. 1
The standard PFT window is January 1 through June 30. A calculator does not decide a make-up deadline, exemption, promotion restriction or occupational reclassification. 13
