You don’t need to be fit like that like you do in the marines or army…navy and air force are for cowards.

They don’t call it the Chair Force for nothing.

Don’t worry…the Air Force isn’t a real Armed Service…you don’t have to be in great shape to be effective…just smart

That is a good enough fitness level.The air force is more laid back then all the others.

Really, you don’t have to worry about it. It will be a lot easier than it’s made out to be physically. What you listed here is more than enough.

I was in the Marine Corps, and my recruiter answered all these questions for me. You’re right, the 8 minute mile is your weakest point…I would work on everything…cause the better shape you are in when you go to bootcamp, the easier it is…trust me on this

I believe your recruiter was supposed to give you a paper telling you how much you had to do to pass BMT. There is standard, liberator (honors) and warhawk (extrodinary).
It says it on there what you’re supposed to do. lol unfortunately I cant find that sheet right now, if not I would’ve posted the requirements.

I am also training for BMT… I’m doing a 15:00 run (1.5 mi), about 35-40 push ups and 2 pull-ups… I’m not even going to tell you about my sit-ups! LOL! It’s pathetic (but I just had a baby and have NO abdominal muscles left!)
I workout daily, joined the gym… I haven’t been given a date yet, but I figured I might as well work my *** of in the mean time! I want to exceed the expectations….
Good luck… Sounds like you’re doing great! And the fact that you care and are concerned about it, is a good thing. So, ignore anyone who says don’t worry or makes it seem less important.
