A few weeks unless you are miserable pile of shit

Bear in mind this is a bear minimum, they make you do long long hikes carrying a 40kg pack with little to no sleep for days at a time.

Be honest OP, have you had a history of mental illness?

A couple of months to get to that standard from scratch at worst unless you're fat, particularly unhealthy, disabled or lazy.

Training will be challenge but you will adapt and manage it unless you are a total pussy. I know several army lads and they are and always have been out of shape compared to anyone who actually works out and exercises regularly. They got through training just because that's how training works. You get built up to it. As long as you do as instructed you're fine.

It's not like the RM where you genuinely have to be fit as fuck.

Should females have an easier standard. Is that fair?

Are you an officer?

>>42463746
Nope.

>>42463806
Is it really that simple?

>>42463853
I don't believe so.

Bump (sorry)

The run is all of the work really.
The sit ups and push ups can be done in a month or less, just do three sets of push ups and sit ups before/after getting up.

The run will probably take six weeks of running two miles every other day.

>the beep test

Fucking hell I remember doing that shit in grade school. I was shit pre high school, but for some reason, my endurance randomly increased by a great amount and I was always one of the last people remaining without fail, and i'd only be moderately winded by the end, as opposed to being dead at ~50 laps before this. What the fuck happened?

Why are the female standards lower than the mens? I thought women are just as tough as the guys?

>>42463853
Standard also changes for age.

>Press-ups

Holy shit though, 44 for men 21 for women.

I want to fap to the footage of women in a trench accidentally setting off a grenade and failing to jump out because they have no upper body strength

Yeah, it's just the run and the beep test. 10.2 is pretty high, 10.1 is the bare minimum for what's needed for special forces in the Australian army. So just run a lot

>>42463989
No but I'm considering applying, I watched a 3 hour Sandhurst documentary.

>>42463593
Jesus christ no wonder cops are fat

>>42463593
Jesus these standards are fucking insane

>>42466410
They're not insane at all, there is also a belief in certain military circles that an officer needs to lead from the front, ergo must be held to a higher standard of fitness than his men.
