Health is the absence of illness, injury or disease. Wellness is much more than the absence of illness; it is health-promoting behaviors to achieve your full potential. In other words, wellness is the pursuit of your best possible health and well-being. It is a conscious choice, self directed and self motivating.
By: Megan H. The Army Promotion Point System Army promotion points are something of a mystery. Nothing is clearly spelled out and there always seems to be loop holes and shortcuts that no one bothered to tell you. To get promoted to Sergeant (SGT) or Staff Sergeant (SSG), you need to gain promotion points.
APFT Promotion Points Authorized. Soldiers recommended for SGT can get a maximum of 160 promotion points. Soldiers recommended for SSG can get a maximum of 100 promotion points. The minimum promotion points for passing scores are as follows: SGT â 40, and SSG â 15. The Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT) is based on a 300 point scale. There are 3 different events involved in the APFT. These include a 2 mile run, 2 minutes of push ups, and 2 minutes of situps. Each of these events is worth 100 points. A passing score is a 180, with a minimum of 60 points in each event. To qualify for APFT promotion points, the soldier must achieve the minimum passing score. Soldiers are not eligible for promotion without a passing APFT score.
