Dad wears the same ring, blackjacks?
I THOUGHT FOR PUSHUPS IT WAS 71
Wtf how old it’s this video?
Marine Corps has the toughest training
didn’t want to talk about the CFT even though it is still a physical test or the swims that go on in the marines because he knows it’s the harder branch so he couldn’t talk about any of those huge factors because it shows the Army isn’t as trained
Airforce: Hey go sit down. Got it? Good
Unpopular opionon, but i would want the best of the best on the field, not the best man or the best woman, whoever can do the best gets to go
I can tell you this right now, in the Marine Corps, you better not do the minimum standard. I never even knew what the minimum standard was. You’re expected to do 100 crunches, 20 Pull-ups and 18 min 3 mile. You also have to do the CFT. So in my opinion there is no comparison with the other branches.
We ran 3 miles in the air force. I did it in 21 minutes. After basic they expected us to run the same speed everytime.
Marines has the hardest
This comparison is wrong , marines is 60 minimum push ups 60 minimum crunches and at least 5 pull ups
Why does women get so much less than the men
Air Force
FYI – The Coast Guard has a universal PF test. It consists of a 1.5 mile run, push ups and sit up which have to be done with a very specific technique. Each rate (job) within the coast guard go through rate specific training that requires individuals to meet the standards required to become that rate, however, during the annual PF test – the entire coast guard uses the same universal test. Additionally, individuals could opt out of the run and choose to do a swim test instead.
Marines ??. I just enlisted into the marine core.
get to the point
they must have changed it when i was in the army you had to run 2 miles in under 13 minutes 1984
I could pass the marine pft when I was 15
Former Marine and a current Boston Marathon Qualifier, the last mile of a 3 mile (5k) is a HUGE deal. At 1.5 and 2 miles I can ignore acid build up and only worry about blood oxygen. Generally there is about a 30 second per mile difference in pace for every jump in a race tier.
To infer a 5k is easier than a 2 miler because of a pace differences is highly misleading.
Women should be held to the same standard as men. If you want equality, be equal. If not, drain my sack.
So Women do less work in the Test, but get Paid the same as Men… is this what they mean by the Pay Gap ?
DAFUQ?! I went through Navy boot camp in '93, and had to do 55 PU in 2 minutes, 60 SU in 2 minutes, and run 1.5 miles in 11 minutes, and I was 30 y.o. at the time!
All branches have their different hardships. You have two different types of vets. The ones that act as if theirs is tougher than the others, which are assclowns. Then you have the ones that respect each branch.
i am so happy, thanks to this video i got a perfect score on my physical fitness test for recruitment to be a security guard at Walmart.
I've watched quite a lot of your vids and love em!!! I am proud to say I bought 3 shirts from you.
I think the corps has the hardest PT test cause every marine is a rifle man or machine gunner . not only that but the marine's are the first ones in and the last ones out.
Seimper fi hoorraaa !!!
The body fat is way lower for the Marines…18 percent for Men…..the Army I believe is 26 percent for Men…
The Marine Corps also has the swim test and Combat Physical Fitness Test..he didn't go in deep…the Marine Corps tests are harder…..we also have to stay in shape or get kicked out. Our Boot Camp is 3 months for Men. You make the call…..USMC.
I wanna serve in the Marin Corps. God I'm gonna die
Navy’s 1.5 mile run is 12:15 but you’re right on everything else, Navy prt is pretty easy i don’t get how people fail
Very low standard for women
TOO EASY… and im 34 lol
Is the run a dead sprint or is it like you just have to finish in time
Is the run a dead sprint or is it like you just have to finish in time
In CAP (Civil Air Patrol) we have to run a mile in under 8 mins. Depends on what rank you are.
These tests are all surprinsingly easy , so I guess nobody just "passes" it's about the score
The Marines have really lowered their requirements, in 1981 when I went in we did pull-ups, situps and 3 mile run.
Starts at 3:00 minutes, you’re welcome.
If certain tests are more difficult, is that a subtle way the branch tries to weed you out? I mean obviously unfit ppl shouldn’t be serving. But if a branch wants to get rid of ppl couldn’t they make pt insanely difficult?
ACFT is gonna run for a year and gone
What’s with the combat top?
This run elevation for the army apft, is this online or what is the source you got this from ?
I am joining the Marines, Gona start working on that.
Howdid that hooked chary stories weed??
Navy Corpsman have to do Marine PT when attached to Marines for deployment.
In the Navy if you only score satisfactory (minimum standards listed here) you will still be put in the FEP program and expected to improve 2 out of 3 events or you face discharge.
