    I'm not positive. But with a little time to train myself, I believe I could pass that test.

    Even at my advanced age.

    You might be surprised. A friend (a CPT in the Army) thought it'd be easier only to find out it was't. That said, he doesn't like it because it's now a logistical nightmare to conduct an APFT.

    Hmmm. Resting between pushups. What a novel idea for endurance testing. :Wink

    It requires equipment.

    When I was in all we needed was a fairly flat path to run 2 miles.

    When I was in - we also had to throw (dummy) grenades for accuracy as part of the PT test !

    The way it comes back is that odds are, when you were in, there was still only one woman on earth. :Wink

    lol

    Well ... When I was in there were only two genders in the Army. And we could tell them apart.

    Yes, it’s funny how they refer to the categories as gender but list only male and female qualifiers.
