This is the standard required of you in all services of the NZ Defense Force.

EFL (Entry Fitness Level)
Run 2.4 Kms Curl-Ups Press-Ups
Male 12 Minutes 45 15
Female 14 Minutes 35 8
RFL G2 is what you need to achieve to graduate recruit training. Allowances exist for people aged 25 years or over.

RFL G2 (Required Fitness Level - Grade 2)
Run 2.4 Kms Curl-Ups Press-Ups
Male 10 Minutes 30 Seconds 60 28
Female 12 Minutes 20 SecondS 50 14
RFL G1 is the desired fitness level for all serving soldiers and officers.

RFL G1 (Required Fitness Level - Grade 1)
Run 2.4 Kms Curl-Ups Press-Ups
Male 10 Minutes 66 30
Female 11 Minutes 50 Seconds 55 15
THE '100 CLUB' is the fitness level that all New Zealand Army officers and soldiers aspire to reach.

THE '100 CLUB'
Run 2.4 Kms Curl-Ups Press-Ups
Male 8 Minutes 130 55
Female 10 Minutes 5 Seconds 118 36

I reckon this table is pretty universal and reasonable.It's graded and thus recruit platoons are streamlined.I was G1 at All-Arms recruit training/basic.

Another good indication of fitness is my own annual program:

-Cooper Test(How far you can run in 12 minutes without stopping)
-95 Situps
-Flexibility(I get my whole hand past my feet)

In the USMC the Physical Fitness Test is quite similar to this:

3 Mile run (28 minute max, 18 minutes for perfect score)
dead-hang pull ups (3 minimum, 20 for perfect)
Crunches (45-65 [I can't remember which] min, 100 perfect)

Dead hang pull ups are NASTY because your arms must be full extended and your using the overhand grip.NZ Army doesn't use them because the average recruit weighs 95KGS.

3 mile run is a lot longer,seems like you probably cull a LOT of wannabe's out during reception battalion or whatever you guys call it.

We get the choice to do our dead hangs over or underhand. Do you find this valuable?

I personally prefer the underhand.
