I expect the Marine Corps Reserve to be most ready when the nation is least ready. Changes to the Marine Corps physical fitness and body composition standards were published July 1, changing your PFT and CFT starting in 2017. These are the biggest collective changes to the PFT since 1972, and CFT since 2009, and allow for greater distinction between fitness levels and age groups. Become familiar with your new requirements and scoring methods, and take advantage of the next few months to continue to drive the standard. Semper Fidelis
