1.5 mile run in 10:45
6 pull ups in one minute
45 sit ups/crunches (hands behind head) in 2 minutes
45 push ups in 2 minutes

The swimming is usually the hardest for most people, at 14:00 it is more about making the distance than the time. I swam it in 10:43 at a quick pace and was ready to quit half way through because I was sore from self administering the entire test two days prior to the real test(That was a bad idea). That was the hardest I've ever pushed myself before and I couldn't even stand when I got out.

I really want to be in combat control, you have to understand that combat control is the elite of the Airforce and absolutely insane. This is all based off what I have heard from people in the AF. Less than 1% of the AF is in CCT (combat control), and most people don't make it all the way through training. Combat controllers are killing machines. During training they will hold you underwater till you pass out, then revive you. During training and when you try to join CCT they try really hard to talk you out of it, they tell you that you shouldn't do it. They do that because the want to weed out the people that arn't dead-set on doing it. I havn't really heard much about it beacause not many people do it but anyone in the Airforce that I ask about CCT tells me that those guys are nuts.

I'm not trying to scare you I'm just telling you what I have been told. If you are really serous about CCT or any of the special forces jobs. I would reccomend you start training now. Go to a YMCA and try to complete the test (just don't try this 2 days bfore the real test). The swimming sucks.

Don't choose a job soley based on the money, choose something that you will and enjoy and preferable a job that will transefer to a civilian job, something that you can use when you are out.

Don't let anyone tell you what you can't do and just try your hardest man.

Best of wishes and good luck,

Honestly Ive looked over those requirements. The physical part of it is hilarious. 6 pull ups in a minute? The only part that I belive will be a "challenge" of some sort will be the swimming. Ive been swimming since I was 4. I truly believe im above average at that aswell. I think ACC will be a challenge for me, but im willing to do it and excited to do it.
