Army tests best training

>Literally a joke branch besides the Airforce
What is it's physical test?
Why is the airforce the best branch in every country? I swear man, in brazil the army recruits go to the amazon to build roads while airforce recruits travel the whole country and swim in lakes

It's 2 minutes for 72 pushups, situps are fucking gsy so who cares, and running two miles in under 16 minutes if you're talking about the US Army.
Just run and bench press a lot. Pull ups for functional strength. And bring a tampon.

I was in the same boat as you, and ended going Infantry. I'm glad I did, because we literally had platoons upon platoons of dudes with the 18X contracts. The vast, vast, vast majority of people have no business having them and it's unrealistic to expect that you'll be able to pass selection as a bum off the street with basic under your belt when experienced, multiple deployment soldiers with Ranger school under their belts are washing out of it. It's basically a scam to have you join with a five year enlistment instead of a three (which most infantrymen have intially). Towards the end of basic, our drill sergeants basically broke it too most of the joes that they didn't have a prayer of passing selection, and most reclassed into airborne. The only way it would be worth it is if you planned on joining for five or more years to begin with; this would at least guarantee you'd get airborne and you'd be a PFC to begin with. Hope that answered it, and good luck.

That's fucking easy, just jog like 2 times a week and do some push-ups whenever and you're fine

Push up/sit up ladders, alternate days of interval sprints, long runs, and recovery. This is pretty much exactly what you'll be doing in basic training.

You should probably be aware that they're changing the APFT to something else and I believe they have already started doing it for most TRADOC. That's assuming you're in the US of course.

Armor is cool ;(

If you want to get good at pushups and situps and have good cardio...
Do pushups and sitsups and cardio you fucking retard.

This board really has become pure cancer.

Your best bet is to give your first safety brief with a horseshoe of dip in and try not to shit your pants.

Those are some really, really low requirements

The key is not to be fat. Hinders your push-ups, sit-ups and running.

So
1) Get leaner
2) Do push-ups and sit-ups everyday. Running you could do every second day on a treadmill at your gym (easier to test yourself and get near max pulse). Make sure to do a few real runs outside to practise proper running steps
