YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - In this Military Matters report, a big accomplishment for the Yuma Proving Ground (YPG) Chaplain after achieving a perfect score in the Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT).

The ACFT is a six-event fitness test including a deadlift, two mile run, and more.

YPG Chaplain Major Ryan Pearse scored a 100 in each of the events, receiving a perfect score of 600.

YPG says Pearse is one of possibly two chaplains in the U.S. Army to earn a perfect score.

"I just said let me try, let me go hard, I got to give it 100%. And it took a lot. I trained very, very hard for a long time and I eventually got it," Pearse said.

Pearse served as a U.S. Army Ranger and has been with YPG for two and a half years.
