    physical fitness tests. look it up.

    Men have to do 42 pushups in two minutes. A stat was like 90% score much higher than that.

    Women have to do 13 pushups in two minutes. That is insane. And apparently only a few meet the mens requirements.

    A study was done at west point awhile ago. They go off of one test, and over 85% of men greatly exceeded it (I believe it was 20 or more), while only 3% of women succeeded it. That is crazy.

    Physical Fitness Test

  • Women 4'10" can join, males must be 5' or more.

    Back to the PT test....don't think they have to do the buddy drag.....I "think" in is a 180# person shaped sack..but I have never seen one or a picture. when I was in they got a break of front leaning rest, sit up and pull ups too. YOU could look up the current test...it is all over the net in PDF form.
