Is a 261 on the Marine physical fitness test good?
I scored a 261 on the physical fitness test yesterday and I thought that it was pretty good. Does it increase my chances of getting in to OCS?

It’s a first class and good. Once you’re in the category though it’s best to do better. Marines are always about improvement and not settling for the minimum. From what I know OCS looks for PFT scores around 270-280. Just two more pull-ups, 20 more crunches or 1:30 better on the run time. But what do I know, I’m enlisted.
It’s ok, nothing outstanding, but not terrible either. Keep working.
Are you a Marine? (nod your head) then you know if it’s pretty decent. You need to look up the specific programs for becoming an Officer, and find out what they require and think about how it relates to you…or better yet, talk to a career planner on your base. There are 8 different officer programs to get you to OCS, and you need to find out yourself instead of asking on yahoo answers, most of these people don’t know that, and no disrespect at all to Former Marines, but regulations are changing for those things, and someone who doesn’t actively see the changes won’t intentionally steer you wrong, but might not know things have been updated. I had to go from website to website to find anything that I thought might have been credible, and in the end, I still don’t trust what I read online, because most of them give a necessary ACT score of anywhere from 40-45, and I took the ACT as one of the smartest people in my class and got a 26, not to mention the smartest person I’ve ever met only got a 36! So what I’m saying is ask someone who WILL know the answers, not people on here who MIGHT know the answers, because this is too important to just ask on forum.
