Someone recently told me that the Spaceforce doesn’t recycle if you fail the PT test on week 5. Is that true? And if so would you be able to get back in or it’s a one and done thing?

Right now I’m running 2 miles in about 27 minutes. I’ve improved from where I started, so I know there’s progress, but I still need to hit around 20 minutes to pass the PT test for basic training.

I leave in 26 days.

My push-ups, sit-ups, and weight/height are all basically where they need to be — the run is the only thing holding me back.

Current training:

• Running 2 miles in ~27 min (run/walk)
• Trying interval training but progress feels slow lately; 3 mins run 2 min walking and 5 min walk warmup

Be honest with me — is getting close to 20 minutes in 26 days realistic, or am I setting myself up for failure?

If anyone has been in a similar spot and still passed BMT, what actually helped you drop your run time fast?

I leave in about 38 days for bct and I really need help to improve so I don’t fail out. Right now I’m at about 1.23 miles at 18 mins which Ik is terrible how can I improve it and has anyone been in my situation and still passed.
