PT standards for Marines minimum. But even bare minimum is hard in US the obesity rate leader, not factoring in height and weight.
The medical stuff has gotten way more complicated and they can track anything that was reported to a hospital.

If you are diligent and smart enough to train to get your run time and fitness to that point youre likely diligent and smart enough to pass an easy military test.
The people who are trying to join are not that and thats what im trying to point out.
ASVAB is a military test they use to see what jobs youre qualified for and if you meet minimum standards
Being low test scores isnt a permanent disqualifier, they can waiver you in if you ride the line. something medically most likely. Probably too much water in the brain
I knew someone who did recruiting and they said that kids would pretty regularly not pass the practice test and/or get single digit scores. They also said that every now and then theyd get someone who couldnt read at all.
The standard for all the branches if pretty uniform also failing the asvab isnt uncommon because how fucked education and our society is in the US. I know were dunking but its legitimately a problem and we should pity that so many kids are even too stupid to join the military
You need to be able to run a 3 mile in a short period of time, i dont think most of us can do that here.
I think you need to spend more time around american kids who arent the rich, white ones on reddit or here. They've been failed by our country and society so bad.
Ive heard people getting single digits its worse than you think
One of the biggest problems the military has is that too many kids fail the ASVAB, I GUESS thats what happens when you defund education to enrich the elites oops

I dont think its mandatory unless your school makes it mandatory. I went to a shitty poor high school and we didnt do that, despite being there target audience
