You will need to be able to do 42 Pushups, 53 situps, and run a 2 mile in 15:54 to pass Basic Training. These are only the minimum required to graduate.
THE MARINE CORPS IS THE TOUGHEST BOOT CAMP OUT THERE AND ONLY THE TOUGHEST SURVIVE. THERE IS NO IF ANDS OR BUTS. Responses to this will vary depending on the service. Typically and traditionally, Paris Island, South Carolina for the USMC is considered one of the toughest. I will say, the Marines are very tough, but the Army is right up there with it, and the Air Force, is becoming way more like the Army and the Marines in that their PT is just as challenging, they learn the EXACT same stuff the others do, tactics, rifle usage, etc. The same amount of stress is put on them, and they carry the same attitudes that you Mighty Marines do. Marines probably have the toughest boot camp with the Army right there with it, followed by the Air Force.
I have in the past used WalkerBrosFitness.com. They have classes in Clapham, Wandsworth and Liverpool Street. Or if you want some PT they will come to your gym.
I don't know whether they sell Army pt shirts, pants, etc., but I did come across a cool store called SoldierCity which sells Army training clothes. Me and my boyfriend just got a couple of pairs of Army pt shirts and pants, and I got my dad (a retired Army veteran) some Army shorts for his summer workouts. We were all really impressed with the quality and service we got at SoldierCity.
No.
Physical Training
Most Army rangers have an average PT score of above 270. Special forces must have above 280
The answer is NO! There is no such thing. You do PT as soon as you arrive at your unit.
No, because it's okay to do PT after you eat.
No, that is a myth. There is no regulation that states a Soldier cannot do PT after a Phase II physical.
Your chain of command could, but there would be a reason for this to happen. If you were overweight or unable to pass your PT tests, then you'd be expected to do additional PT.
No. The male and female PT tables are labeled that way for a reason. When the current three-event PT test (which I don't agree with as it doesn't really test the physical demands of a soldier; the Canadian Army's PT test is much better) was developed in the late 1970s, the female standards in all three events were far lower than the male standards. That changed when every woman in the Army maxed the situp portion of the PT test.
No, you don't.
