All of the developed world use press ups. Only America uses push ups.

americans suck at war lmao

All it is is a test to see if you can go to basic training

i see through your ruse faggot

Did anyone else actually have a really good time in boot camp?

I thought it was gonna be like full metal jacket or some shit but all the instructors and officials were pretty bro-tier t b h

America doesn't need physically fit soldiers they have top tier guns and nuke

>>35055494
strength isnt important
endurance is slightly important
obedience and carrying out orders are far more important

>>35055494
The apft is much harder. They take soft civilians whip them into shape. They whip it, whip em good.

This thread has good bait. People will undoubtedly believe it.

>>35055494
how old are you?

for 17-21 year olds, its 42 pushups, 56 pull ups and a 2 mile run in 16 min.

>>35055494
>17 sit ups in 1 minute
the US army is shooting themselves in the knee with all their sit ups. its a completely pointless exercise, save for the mental effort is takes to do lots of them (SEALs). they'd be better off doing a flexibility test or something like an L-sit test.

Well you'll have to lower your standarts if nearly 70% of the population is overweight and 35% is obese. I still would like to know your source OP since it seems a bit ridiculous.

Thats the fitness test to enlist in the Army not the fitness test you have to pass at the end of basic training to become a soldier.

>>35055734
what are the requirements for that?

>>35055494

Isn't this like a yearly minimum requirement for deskjobs within the army? Can't imagine recruiting from such low standards.

Replace sit ups with a 315lb deadlift. More reps/higher score, maxed out at 20.

>>35055745
Back when i was in it was a 1530 2 mile, 42 push ups and 50ish sit ups for the 17 to 21 age group.

Thats the minimum, when a soldier gets to their unit and scores low they get fucked with.

>they get fucked with.
what, by the officers or their peers? i imagine there's a fair amount of bullying in the army.

>>35055858

It's usually the NCO's that give em shit. Also, probably other e-3's, e-3's etc.

>>35055875

*e-4's

>>35055794
Mine was 1630, 40 push ups and 52 situps I think. I joined at 22.

Op most definitly not in the army

>>35055875
no idea what any of those things are but gotcha

>>35055914

NCO's stand for non commissioned officers. They go from the ranks sergeant(e-5) to staff sergeant (e-6). Senior NCO's go from Sergeant first class(e-7) to Sergeant major of the army (e-9). Sergeants and staff sergeants are the team leaders and squad leaders in a platoon and they will give you shit if your physical capabilities are not up to standards since you're under their team/squad.

>>35055858
Officers want their platoons or companies to have a high PT score average, so they fuck with the senior sergeants who fuck with the lower ranking sergeants who in turn fuck with the lower enlisted.

The lower enlisted get fucked with by stuff like bullying, the worst work details, and extra PT after work.
Extra PT is really a bad thing at all, but its fucking annoying since you dont get to exercise how you want and youve been up since 6am and you get done working at 7pm.

>>35055962
*isnt really a bad thing

>>35055962
the army sounds fucking shit to be honest.

>>35055976

I love it.

>>35055976
Yeah it is, the Army's fucking lame. The only good things I got from it were money for college and free healthcare and both are pretty shitty to be honest.

>>35056011
did i touch a nerve. sorry.

fortunately uni and healthcare are free in britain anyway. i thought for a while about joining up because the pay sounds pretty damn good but i am a bit worried about living with a bunch of dudes in the middle east on various bases for however many months.

>>35056056
No you didnt upset me. I dont regret being a soldier, it helped me grow as a person and i did some impressive stuff. It was just generally pretty fucking miserable and the benefits are shit.

>>35055571
You went to Ft. Jackson didnt you?

>>35055571

Nope, I went to Ft. Leonard Wood. I hated it but I embraced the suck. It's beautiful.

"The American English term push-up was first used between 1905 and 1910,[2] while the British press-up was first recorded between 1945 and 1950.[3][4]"

Here's the RAF requirement for officers, non-comissioned is a little lower.
LB column is preferred, G column is minimum.

>>35055494

That's not the PT test. That's the 1/1/1 recruiters use to determine if you ship to basic or not.

But even the real PT test, I agree. Military fitness in America is wack.

yikes thats sad,, we have higher standards in the navy as far as fitness.


navy bro here.

This isnt the standard once you're in.

Lel, if you show up to your unit and do the minimum, especial a combat arms MOS, then prepare you anus for devastation

>>35055494

They will take people who can do even less than that. The US armed forces are desperate for recruits and take what they can get...

>>35059164
this
Your starting requirements do not mean anything, they are pretty much all waverable.
In fact we had a guy recycled 3 times for failing his run, he eventually passed it while I was going through basic.

You will continue to do basic until either
>a. something breaks
>b. you can meet the actual standards

Push ups, sit ups, and a 2 mile run are the three things used to gauge fitness in the Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT). The number to repititions and the run times are configured into a point format. The value of these points is based on gender and age. 300 is a perect score, and 180 is the lowest you can get and still pass, but you must get at least 60 points in each event or you will fail the test automatically. The chart used to score is readily available on the internet.

Anon, you're confusing America and Greece again...

Air Force fag here. I'm in ROTC and apparently it was a big deal that I got 100 on the PFA (I was the only one in the wing to do this) but I don't feel like maxing it out is too difficult. Now the PAST test on the other hand...that's something I can't wait to do.

because you went to the gay army

Marine boot was far more intense and ridiculous than Full Metal Jacket honestly. Not saying only like 40% of recruits made it but the shit you see on tv/in movies is 100 times more tame than reality

And the DI's dont talk like Gunny Emrey at all. It's a weird fucking frog-like voice they use to sound intimidating and crazy

>>35057668
Thats the absolute minimum and nobody except the biggest shitbags achieve this score. They get hell for being lazy fatasses every day I assure you and with scores that low they dont have a hope to promote

Those aren't even close to the standards jfc. $20 says OP is European

>>35062533
Do you even read? Those are the requirements for MEPS, prior to basic training. Not that anyone actually follows them.

>>35059243
Minimum you autistic fuck. That's a 180 score. Any respectable unit, especially an infantry one, will expect your score to be 270+ out of the max of 300. Anyone worth their merit scores over 300 (there is an extended scale if you max all 3).
