PFT 225 or minimum for each event

[spartan03]

In order to pass your PFT, is the score of 225 the only requirment? or are there minimums in each event that you must meet? For example, would 18:30, 100, 8 (total points 237) be a passing PFT? I thought I heard somewhere along the way you needed 10 pull ups and I would like to clarify.

To the best of my knowledge, yes you need 10 as a minimum for pullups. If you use Armstrong workout plan, you can gain your 2 pullups in 2 to 3 weeks.

You are OK with that score. 8 pull-ups is low, but not failing. You want to have at least a 250 to be comfortable. Pull-ups are where you make you money with five points a shot. 20 is ideal but if you get 12 to 16 you will be alright.
They just take a little effort to get good at them. You really don't have to get stronger you just have to practice. Five sets of five for four days and max set on the fifth.
It takes a little effort to get used to pull ups, but once you go to OCS, TBS, then the fleet you will recognize that they are part of being a Marine and it will soon be second nature.

You sly devil, you. But why search the internet for the real answer when there are AW members standing 24/7 by to tell you what the answer COULD be.

so, is the 24 minute mark a minimum for officers at OCS? As in you could have a 260+ but hit 24:01 and fail?

Yes.
