I read an article today about how the requirements of the Canadian Forces have been scrapped (in a way) and that the requirements of the Canadian Forces are actually not that difficult to pass…

They Require you to be able to do the following…

Yes this isn’t actually that difficult to pass… but I will tell you, I can’t actually pass these right at this moment and so I want to be able to pass them. Not because I desire to get into the armed forces… I won’t be signing up, I just want to use it as a level of fitness that I should be able to keep to just in case type thing. Now thats just to get INTO Basic Training, and in Basic Training one will find their physical requirements increase a great deal, and maybe if I can get this goal done, Ill try for what might be required by Basic Training, but for now this is a good guide for me to figure out I can keep to.
