If memory serves, chin-ups and pull-ups are different animals, contingent on hand position.

I could do 10 pull-ups, out of boot camp, 70 sit-ups, a 3-mile in 20 minutes, (And I was slow.) 60 push-ups. Did more than oone 6 mile run in NCO school. There was a running argument about doing the PFT in boots or running shoes.

There has GOT to be more to it. Falling out of a Chithook 3 times is just remembering to keep your knees bent.

12 miles with 100 lbs of gear, armor, weapon, ammo, and then running a live fire tactical problem, tho, is hard. (The SAS calls it 'tabbing' for some obscure British reason.)

I figure they would have to jam it all together into one long series, none of this eating a sleeping nonsense.

Chin ups are much easier.

The required minimum to go airborne in WW2.

There is. Those listed are the minimum, they expect you to do more. If it looks like you are trying to skate by on minimums well you may not pass evals.
