Apart from the swim because I'm not a strong swimmer, the rest I could pass easily including the "competitive standards". Years ago when I was about 20 I was going to join the British Army. I didn't do any specific training for it but I beat everybody on every fitness test.
We didn't get tested on pushups and situps, but I can get to over 100 on each. Pull ups I can manage around 25. A 1.5 mile run I can do in about 8.5 minutes.

I did meet the competitive standards except for the pullups. I was going to ship off to SEAL training until I got into a spot of trouble and got kicked out of the program. The SEAL training is no joke.

Given a couple weeks I could easily get back to or above 100 push-ups and sit-ups. I don’t know where I am now, but I’ve surpassed those numbers many times. It’s more so a routine conditioning sort of thing. You have to practice it regularly. The mile and a half is easy to be competitive at. I’ve done marathons… The pull ups aren’t hard. I’m a good swimmer, but I don’t have a clue how much time it would take me to swim 10 lanes. That said there is a age max not on your list...
Given enough time I could hit the minimum standards on most of it. Not sure about the swim, I have never been the strongest swimmer and it has been a while since I have done any swimming at all… guess I should focus on that next, huh?
I can swim but im not fast, the run i could maybe pass since i can run a 6 minute mile. I could do the situps and the pullups, not the pushups at least not all at once. 35 is the most I've ever done in a row.
I've always been a strong swimmer. The other areas probably not. Especially a pullup. Can't even do one, I don't think.
The same - swim and run is a problem. By pull ups I'd make it into competitive, by sit ups could be both rather competitive, by push ups minimum.
No on the swimming and 1.5 mile run. A 7 minute mile for a mile and a half is impressive. One day maybe I'll be able to do that.
Yeah, I can do either standards besides for the swimming. Although it's really the mental test that matters in the end
Nah defo not since I can't swim. My hubby tho would probably be able to pass, he's pretty fit and can swim good
Years and years ago I could yeah.
Now a days the Marine Corp Physical Fitness Test is the max I can do.I could possibly pass them except the pull ups one Forsure that’s always been my biggest weakness
Nope. I am not a good swimmer nor an endurance runner.
If I was at my peak performance I could easily be competitive standards But I slacked off and now I have to rebuild my core and upper body
Don’t think any of those are possible for me, lol. Wouldn’t be interested anyways
Not a very good swimmer. The Navy still on that 1.5 mile? I think Seals can run a little longer.
I'm superwoman. i will make that exam my bitch.
Not currently. check back in one year
Nope, I can't run anymore.
