Okay fit, I have enlisted in the army with the OCS option. My recruiter has told me I need to score in the 80% of the PT standards to make it as an officer. I have until March 16th to do so.

These are the 3 categories and what I need to achieve
Sit-ups in 2min - 68
Push-ups in 2 min - 67
2 mile run - 14:30

Currently I can barely run 2 miles in 18 minutes. Can do 25 push ups and only 25 sit ups.

How do I get to this level before the date?

I need some advice bros.

Recruiter told me to do regular push-ups then wide push ups then diamond to exhaustion for 3 sets every other day.

Sit-ups 3 sets to exhaustion every day.

Run sprints or 30/60's 30 second sprint 60 second jog to exhaustion every other day.

2 mile run every other day alternating between the sprint days.

Does this seem good?

The standards for situps are crap .Work on your push-ups because they hand those out like candy.

Go run at the park. Pretty simple really. Your 2 mile time is what most amateur 5k runners make

How the hell do I shave 3 1/2 minutes off my time though?

8 laps on a track is 2 miles

This means I'd need to shave around 27 seconds a lap.
What do?

Keep training. Run 3 to 4 times a week and do your push up sit ups 3 to 4 times a week. The only way to get better at the pt events is to train those specific events often.

2 miles isnt that big of a distance so do lots of high intensity interval training but be really careful. Make sure you warm up and warm down properly to avoid injury. Also try and get a 3-4 mile run in once a week at a chilled pace.

For standard sit-ups, do hip flexor training.

I'm in the Army OP. The first PT test I took in basic I ran 22 minutes. By the end I ran 16:30. With the combination of running every day and government hormone injected meat, you'll make significant improvements there. PU/SU score also went up.
