>peace time reqs
because as we know the standards for military recruits grow more strict and selective in wartime
These derisive Pepe’s make me smile, someone post the elephant pls
Found it
...are higher than wartime requirements because they have lower headcount allotments and therefore need/want higher standards to filter potential recruits.
In wartime you take anybody you can get.
>America
>At peace
>ICBMs set to be launched within the next year at current pace
>peace
How many pull ups do you need to launch an icbm?
KEK
peacetime requirements are higher than wartime requirements. In wartime you get people like pic related
>you will never serve in the dirlewanger brigade
why bother
>Opa, were you a hero during the war?
>No mein Jungen, but i served in a batallion of heroes.
>A PhD holder (in 1920s Germany, when that really fricking meant something) who maintained a high-level of fitness by skirmishing with communist warbands is indicative of lowered standards
You couldn't find a single man in the entire modern US Army who is the equal of Dirlewanger
>wounded 6 times in WW1 alone
>Kept on fighting
What the frick was his problem? Did he seriously get brain damage from shrapnel?
>What the frick was his problem?
Teutonic Spirit
You absolutely can find pedophiles in the US army
But can you find renaissance men and scholars like Dirlewanger in the US army? Dont think so
>enter the king of pinoys
imagine being a rider of the apocalypse in his brigade. il never experience this, life is suffering.
Everyone knows the official military is not the real military anymore.
The real military is the shadow mercenary military and those guys aren't weak or homosexuals in any way shape or form.
The US military is nothing but a dog and pony show.
Mercenaries are the modern wests real fighting force.
>yeah but they are just foot soldiers what about advanced tech systems like space and air force
Global mercenary hacker cabal
Everything official in the realm of power, from war to politics, is all meaningless fake bullshit made to trick normies.
If they're loyal to the US fed they're traitors to the US people
You're an idiot.
The USA has fought in nearly every global conflict including the Ukraine war by using Shadow Contractors and PMCs. They are surrogate soldiers.
The homosexuals as officers in the current "official" military is literally a psyop.
If you are any good at what you do in the military, the deep DoD will pull you out of the military and turn you into a mercenary.
You're an idiot.
Stop trying to demoralize the American people for the sake of perpetuating the war economy.
You're an idiot.
You freak warmongers know exactly what you are doing when you dress up a man in high military decoration and a fricking GIMP mask.
Stop demoralizing people to cause conflicts.
I didn't force that Colonel to wear a gimp mask. I didn't force him to abuse his authority and enlist people below his rank in his fetish. If the truth is demoralizing to zogged homosexuals then let the sun shine in
It's the fricking military.
Your fricking hair is regulated for fricks sake.
There is ZERO chance a fricking Colonel would be allowed to wear a GIMP mask in a service portrait if it wasn't approved of as part of a psyop.
The official military is now the largest psyop in the world.
gays as officers is a complete lie and part of a bigger strategy.
>bro trust the deep military bro
lol no, they all serve the same masters. There is no based shadow military that is actually going to save the country. Any of them would happily kill the Russians they're programmed to than a single person trying to cross the southern border
It's not deep military, it's shadow military.
Anyone good at being a soldier isn't in the military anymore.
The deep DoD will take excellent performers out and put them in PMCs.
Every world super power operates this way now.
The official state military is not the real military.
If they're loyal to the US fed they're traitors to the US people
That's not what service photos look like. The doggay just put a flag up in his apartment and put on his uniform.
US military power is in ships and planes which are currently being piloted by diversities and women. SF and PMC are basically police to manage the outskirts of the empire. they won't matter in a real war against a real power
t. just found out what "PMC" stands for
>national guard reqs are bretty decent for current year
Makes you think
3 pull ups would be a monumental task for the average American
Yeah people need to remember that 40% of the US population is obese, and most other western nations are not far behind.
That's because female Marines are delicate little flowers and might get their little feelings hurt if they can't meet standards
Those standards are for men, female standards are actually even lower

>TAKING PURPOSE TO THE BRINK OF EXHAUSTION
>There is perhaps no better way of determining what is important to you than by finding out if it is still as important when you are exhausted. Is the fight to continue still worth it? Is the common moral cause you fight for more powerful than the urge to quit? To find out these answers, aspiring Marines are put through physically grueling tests that will reveal what their determination is truly made of, as our Nation can not afford to put its trust in those who fall behind.
>3 pull ups and 34 push ups in 2 mins
LMAO the absolute state of modern military
>3 pull ups and 34 push ups
sir, it's 3 pull ups OR 34 push ups
>Female: 1 pull-up or 15 push-ups (2:00 time limit)
>RUN
>Male: 1.5 mile run in 13:30
>Female: 1.5 mile run in 15:00
kek
>To even begin recruit training, aspiring Marines must pass the Initial Strength Test (IST)
That's the minimum standards to even sign up for the Marines you fricking moron.
lol when I was untrained I could've beat this easy
Yeah that's the point dumbass. You pass the initial test minimums to allow you to sign a contract then they send you to boot camp to get trained up.
Post old-school wartime requirements. I'm curious.
does it matter? we just drone everything
How many times did soldiers need to do pullups or planks in war?
>he needs a ladder to get out of the ditch

Are people really this unfit or we ISTcels really just so autistic we run around at peak human fitness just to shitpost on a sri lanken leaf gluing forum?
I can confidently do all of those at gold, maybe great except the swimming which I haven't done properly in a decade.
Anon do you have any idea how bad the physical fitness of the average American is?
Not saying that it's a good idea to go into the marines with only the bare minimum, but it's pretty bad.
Marines are actually the one branch of the US military that's also not suffering from massive recruitment shortages.
The post I'm referring to is the requirement for a German special forces group.
Isn't the Bundeswehr a joke?
Yes, everything that isn't SpecOps is dollar store wannabe US Army.
If you've been working out consistently for 3-6 months then you're already a superhuman compared to 95% of the population. After a year you're in the top 1% of humanity easily, standards are extremely low these days.
>2 Suicides - 9.79 sec
How do they do it so fast, bros?
It's Germans, they just remember all the cultural shame of the Holocaust they've been raised with and suicide is instantaneous.
>15 pull-ups is gold standard
>so is 28 push-ups
>and 36min 7km
what the frick
7km run is with 10kg btw
That's just the introduction test after that you get further into selection for Hell week.
How is 15 min an acceptable time to swim 500 mt
>2 Suicides...
i wish hitler had been that good at surviving Suicides
Jej
war is fought behind a screen nowadays
Yep, now go enjoy Parris Island while only being able to do 3 pull ups. Surely it'll be a fun experience :^)
My guess is they are lucky to get recruits who can do that.
would be kinda moronic to make the requirements to be cannon fodder for the israelites too difficult
3 pull ups
60 sit ups in 2 minutes
13:30 or less 1.5 mile run
None of these are hard requirements, but that's just to join. Everyone who joins exceeds these to have a better cutting score from PFT/CFT scores.
Max score is 20 pull ups (allowed to switch to chin ups mid rep)
18 minute 3 mile run
100 sit ups in 2 minutes.
...where did you get planks from?
see
Not when recruiting targets are less than 60% for the whole year no.
They may as well start enlisting foreigners for citizenship.
just put a gun to your head and pull the trigger, you can do it way quicker than 9.79 sec
Lel, jej perhaps
source?
dude just trust me
My guess would be that only like 1% of Americans could do 3 REAL pullups where you don't use momentum and your chin goes above the bar. The majority of gym-goers cannot even do this. Pullups are a huge fatty filter.
In my country you are required to do 25 dead hang pull ups, if you fail you pull pants down for sergeant to paddle you infront of the platoon. My cousin got back from training with a crooked nose. Good posture coming from computer days. Starved lean. He can effectively tell wife to shut up now like a man. Us army training is a joke
Spanish Army
>13 push ups
>33 abs in less than 1 min
>2.05 meters horizontal jump
>course navette level 7.5
The jump is a manlet filter and the CN filters the weak of mind since the test is stressful af.
>course navette
cool way to call the beep test. What's the horizontal jump require? to actually clear 2.05m or to just reach it with the Spanish art of the dive?
>plank for only 40 seconds
what is plank
>40 seconds
Bro no fricking way lmfao
I'm literally fat as shit (5'9, 224) and I plank for at minimum 1 minute every day kek this country is actually over
The marines are actually the only branch meeting their recruitment goals (nice uniforms?). Guess even the meatheads don't want to join an institution that wants you to die for Israel, has a non-passing troon as your commanding officer, or kicks you out for not getting the jab.

>Guys why won't zoomers join the military?
>Why are we in a recruiting crisis?
they're also testing for roids which is hilarious. It's peacetime military, they do nothing. Even Spec Ops aren't combat deployments, so what in the frick is the point of joining?
Job training and/or tuition assistance would be my guess
>testing meatheads for roids
>forcing people to get covid vaccines that didn't pass FDA testing for a disease with a 99.9% survivability rate
>Civilians hate and disrespect service members
>Shit housing, shit pay
>Woman can accuse you of rape and get you dishonorably discharged whenever they want
>Have to put up with woke bullshit and kiss ass
Do you think the government is moronic enough to overplay their hand and start a draft? Can't wait to see the shitstorm something like that would cause
>so what in the frick is the point of joining?
Getting paid to blow shit up
Sorry bub. All our excess munitions are in Ukraine. No more blowing things up for you
Were you trying to be funny?
They are desperate for recruits since nobody wants to fight for this shithole
How do I sign up to fight against these creatures?
What do you expect from the United Sodomits of America.
They have to make it so strong empowered women can make it. (they still can't make it)
I used to model all my workouts around military training routines, had a friend who was a former special forces guy. I think he was a "Ranger" but I don't even know or care what that is
But then I stopped when I realized that being in the military, or even in special forces, does not make you special nor an athlete. You're getting paid $20-40K a year for no freedom and a chance to die due to stupid shit - no one with a substantial IQ is willingly doing that job and almost everyone who was a part of the military will agree once they get out. If special forces had a barrier to entry as high as being an olympic athlete, well they wouldn't have anyone now would they?
If you get to a point where you can do 10-15 pull-ups, 60-80 push ups, and run 10-12km without stopping in a decent time, and you don't quit when you're tired, you can essentially pass every fitness test in any special operations selection. Takes about 6-9 months of daily 2-3 hour training sessions to get to that. It's nothing that will blow your mind and people need to chill with that NAVY SEAL!! shit
Oh, and regardless of how much "special forces" training someone has, it takes one random artillery strike and you're done no matter who you are. The war in Ukraine really highlights this, most of the deaths you can watch are pretty much unavoidable - random strikes, ambushes, suicide drones, etc.
Russia sent several units of special forces, which ARE trained pretty well, early on in the war and they just got torn to shreads because wrong place wrong time and no one had any idea what the frick is going on. It wouldn't be any different whether your Russian or American in those kind of situations.
Americans for the past 2 decades have been in the Sand area fighting old blind men with a rusty AK somewhere in a cave. In a real war, everyone is just fricking cannon fodder one way or another.
I was about to call you a moron because I thought the graduation rate for ranger was stupidly low, turns out it’s historically been almost 50% kek. That said the entry requirements were at least a little better than what OP posted and iirc the rangers come from people already serving so the 50% isn’t random joe schmoes it’s people with at least some level of physical and psychological fortitude. Even if the physical fortitude bit is overblown.
Getting the Ranger Tab is more about endurance, capacity to avoid injury, handle sleep deprivation and physical discomfort.
Delta Force and Seals are absolutely at a D1 athletics level, but they have to be more well-rounded. They're making well over $40k a year due to signing bonuses and combat pay.
>If you get to a point where you can do 10-15 pull-ups, 60-80 push ups, and run 10-12km without stopping in a decent time, and you don't quit when you're tired, you can essentially pass every fitness test in any special operations selection.

Really? train 2-3 hours a day for 6 months? Pretty sure I could do all that just from half assing the SS lp for a few months
ITT: People confusing minimum requirements with what is actually needed to pass selection.
The point is doing 10 pullups and 60 pushups and running 5 miles should not take you that long to get, certainly not 2-3 hours a day for 6 months
It could take maximum 3 months depending on how dedicated you are. Push ups for 60 is a struggle though for beginners to achieve that aren't twigs.
And?
Again, those are the MINIMUM requirements to ATTEMPT selection.
You will not pass if that is all you can do.
Even if you physically complete the course you will not be selected because no one in their right mind would approve you going to a team.
Lmaoooo rangers love to let everyone know they’re “special forces”
That's the absolute minimum standard and you will get fricked with or broken if you don't improve.
I don't think it's possible to get through boot camp without increasing your pull-ups from 3 to at least 8 and SOI would physically break someone that weak.
Less muscle mass means less food you need to feed them. Dont gotta be jacked to operate a drone. Dont gotta be jacked to pickup 100lbs
Those are minimum requirements, aim for the best to get into elite crew and maybe if you do well, you will get promoted.
Statistics like this get me hyped.
I'm first percentile for low neuroticism, 2nd percentile for general intelligence, and if this fricking loose skin on my abs continues to disappear at its current rate I'll have the chad trifecta covered in world of "men" that can't even reach the point I was at years ago.
A fat moron who spent all of his formative years playing CoD and Flight Simulator can unironically BTFO a half company of marines while eating Doritos. Welcome to contemporary warfare.
