In my day I could have passed it easily except for the swimming part, which we didn’t have.

Six pull ups? I scoff.

48 pound ruck? Never got that light by half.

Something about this whole article doesn’t smell right.

Heck, as I recall .. having been retired for almost 20 years .. is that those requirements are somewhat less than what is needed to pass the standard PT test that I had to do yearly as a member of the JAG Corps. And you can't get much more REMF than that ...

Although I do want to say that my first three years in the Army were as an infantryman in a Cav unit and I carried the M60 hog for those three years .. 1975-1978. And the normal combat arms PT test in those days was much more than that.
