Across the board I sit at a level 4, not bad for a 33 yr old paper pusher. I have some of the higher qualification in other area's but not enough to complete a column.
I can complete a 10k run in around 39-42 mins on rolling hills. If the 8km run is on a track I can complete that at level 7. However, my sprint times are garbage. I couldn't finish the 2.4k in that time. fastest i've done that is 9:20ish |
I made sure I could do all of these when I enlisted. Just waiting for selections

Personal bests within the last 6 months (some could be higher, but I haven't tested myself as per CF requirements in a while for anything but running):
2.4KM run: 7 min 52 sec (last month) Consecutive Push ups: 65 (July) Pull ups: 32 (April) (Chinups should be about 20% higher). Situps: 100 (April) Handgrip: ? who knows, don't have a machine... |
It took me 3 months of biking and pushups to lose 20 pounds and this pamphlet wants me to lose another 30? Holy cow.
Is there any room for tolerance? I'm not sure I can physically go below 250. My brother can attest to my weight drop and I am lean as a mofo |

Close enough. I'm 6'6. My wide ass shoulders and hips helped alot in rugby and football, not so much for running. I'm pretty comical to look at

i would need to lose about 35 lbs just to get out fo the danger zone
i could probably only do half of what the cf expect us to do, airsoft no problem, but this guy wont be in the military ever! |

On the combat side I always tell my trainees it's ok to have an enormous muscle mass, I do have a decent one after all, but never, ever try to get rid of all your fat because as soon as you get out of supplies or a bit too far from your lines you'll be likely to literately run out of energy about a dozen hour after your last meal in a combat scenario. Adrenaline can't propel anyone on its own. I put some of the teams I trained through an intense food less training over three days, got half of the team, the gym nuts, failing said test. Usually after that they got their lesson. |
Yep I'd meet the requirements even with my Louis Cyr-esque physique. I'm not in any way an elegant runner (and I hate it with all my heart) but I'm not in bad shape thanks to powerlifting since I was 16.

I'm like a box of Lactantia unsalted butter (until I start sprinting and I sweat)... AKA I'm waaay overweight, thanks to having lived all my life (until 3 years ago) in a country full of shitty food regulations, and with nobody telling me what was truly healthy or not.
Looking at those CF charts gave me a slap on the nuts... Gotta hit the gym. I won't be joining our troops anytime soon, but still, I gotta be able to look good and have SOME physical performance. Any tips? |

Looks like I pass everything.
My only problem is cold weather running. If the temp goes below zero I start wheezing. I can run 15km straight in fair weather but maybe 1km and Im feeling it in the cold. I had bad asthma as a kid so that is probably part of it. Im 33 now and have a family so it isnt something I would want to pursue now anyways..good to know though! |
