In OCS and TBS, how are the different genders ranked by PFT? I know what the requirements are for each to get a 300, but really, the females have an extra 3 minutes to run and still look good on paper.
If I run in the 18's, will I get extra points for being way beyond my 100 points on the run? Will running with the lead (male) pack reflect on my evaluation or should I save my effort and just jog something under 21:00?
The reason that I am asking is because I am hoping for a flight contract. It is a long complicated road for me, but I want the challenge. I have worked on AV8B's for 11 years and my dream has always been to fly. One of the details is that I will have to gain 20 pounds for the ejection seat- not an easy thing for me to do. I am afraid that if I bulk up my run time will be slower. However, it might take me quite a while to gain that kind of weight.
I know there is much more than the PFT as far as overall evaluation, but I need all the advantages I can get. Any input?
