The Marine Corps Physical Fitness Program order, MCO 6100.13 W/ CH 1, has been changed with the new CFT instruction and scoring system. Marine Corps Training and Education Command A VISIT TO REMEMBER also provides CFT standards, guid- ance and other information on their Web site, http://www.tecom .usmc.mil/cft/cft.htm. During the initial phase-in peri- od, the CFT was pass/fail. There are now three new passing classes based on a 300-point scoring system. Similar to the PFT, the CFT is on a 1st, 2nd, 3rd class and fail system, under appropriate age and gender classifications. “It was [the commandant’s] origi- nal intent that the CFT be pass/fail during the initial phase-in period, with migration to a scored system after a period of time,” explained Mr. Brian McGuire, TECOM’s physi- cal readiness programs officer. “Of all the input we've received from Marines about the CFT, there was a consensus that the CFT should be a scored event. This isn't surprising knowing the competitive nature of Marines.” Necessity for the CFT is partly based on a realization that combat- related demands include a variety of movements and task done at high intensity. “Generally speaking, the CFT places a greater premium on a Marine's anaerobic capacity and functional core strength in compar- ison to the PFT,” McGuire said. McGuire added that the CFT will factor into a Marine's composite score and be reflected on the fitness report. The composite score conver- sion table, developed by Manpower and Reserve Affairs (M&R) can be Sgt. Sara A. Taylor found on the TECOM Web site.
