What happens if you fail a fitness test at basic training?

taking in all your posts i have seen i would ask you not to join the military, mainly because your a softy, anyone can be physically fit, thats not the main issue.

Not a lot, 23 pressups and 39 situps. I thought you had to do the harder marine style ones before you joined but its just regular pressups. Girls get to do them on their knees.

39 situps. I'd be stuffed then
I've always really struggled with them, the pressups and run I could do no problem.

I do plan to get half fit over the summer

I don't understand =\
Confidence has nothing to do with fitness surely... Just get out there a train no?

Mental attitude is more than half the battle.

Why run when you can knock somebody off their balance with a baton then push them over?
