I am of the opinion that all military jobs should be classified as either:
Combat
Combat support
Support
And three physical fitness tests are needed, one for each. The least taxing would be support (push ups, run/speed walk, situps). If you can not complete this test, you are not fit for military service.
To this baseline, there would be added the new requirement of “sand bags”. This would require the placement of two sand bags, separated by two lines 50 feet apart. The sandbags would weigh 25 lbs. The test would require the picking up of a sand bag, running to the other line. Putting down the sand bag, picking up the other bag and returning to the original line. This would be completed 10 times and would be a timed exercise. This test simulates the repetitive up/down nature of many tasks within the military.
The combat level test would add two elements. A pull-up requirement and a squat requirement. Combat operations often require the upper body strength demonstrated by the pull-up and the leg strength required by the squat.
In order to remain “fit” for your duty job / MOS, you would have to complete and pass the minimum score for your jobs classification. If you can not pass the fitness test, you are allowed a short period to get into shape and test again. Two failures would require reclassification or medical evaluation.
No male vs female scoring - one test standard.
Kapernick couldn’t play but he taught her well.
Makes too much sense.
And you need to add a longer timed run task in the combat and combat support categories in addition to the sprinting with sand bags task.
