just thought the same.
I can do that now and I’m much older and for a supposed special forces this is pathetic.

I do 3 sets of 60 push ups every day and run 5 k in less than 23 minutes.

When I was in the military we would have laughed that this test they have today.

Yep - same here. I'm 62 and use my Bow Flex 3 days a week and also walk/run a lot. 8 minute miles is not difficult to keep up for 5+ miles and I usually do a single set of 70+ push ups to finish my workout. While some of us old timers are the exception to the rule, it seems odd that we may be fit enough to be special forces material.
