Quoted:



Yep, our standards, all mins:



Bench 155 (I bench 225, working towards 250) I weigh 245

Leg Press 450 (I did 540 and almost made 590)

Already covered situps/pushups (41/45) Pushups must have chest within a hands thickness of the floor. Situps must keep hands behind ears and elbows touch knees, then all the way to the ground with back.

4 pullups

Vertical leap (one foot planted) of 18 inches (Measured by hand outstretched and point marked, then jumping and marking high point with chalk on hands)

1/2 mile run in under 4:15

100 meters in 16 seconds or less



Short lunch



Then to the range and shoot from 50 meters and in to 3. Rifle. Pistol 18 meters and in to 3. FULL gear (Helmet, gloves, eye pro, vest, radio, water, medkit, full mags, cuffs, ASP, TASER, flashlight, knife, gas mask, flashbangs, assigned entry tools)



Pistol 85% or better

Rifle 90% or better Both scores must have all rounds on threat, in bottle, no misses, period. All shots incorporate movement from the signal. We do not teach static shooting. Standing, kneeling, prone, over/around barricade. If you fail to qualify you have to shoot back to back high quals, 90% pistol, 100% rifle.



These are minimums and all members are expected to improve all areas tested.



This is all done within about 6 hours and at 7,220 feet. For the physical portion one can try three times in every category for best score i.e, Lift 185, 205, then 225.



As we are combining the SO and PD teams we are adding our SO expectations:



100 meter shooting course

300 meter iron sight course

Land/Night nav course

Overnight bivouac with field problem

Survival training and eval(winter/summer) course

NVG nav course

Map/Compass reading

Self Aid/Budy Care



There's some discussion about increasing the run course, either the 1 1/2 mile set up, or a combined obstacle course over a 3 mile route. Of course there's the admin stuff: Supervisor approval with letter, LORs, Oral board, vetting/probation, observation



All of these requirements are set no matter the applicant's age or sex. You either do it, or you don't.



I'm tired just reading over that shit.
