Recently the DOW changed the semi-annual physical requirement for the special operations rates in the Navy. Now once a year they must complete the combat fitness test!

The test:
800-yard swim with fins (combat side stroke only)

10 minute rest

Max set up push-ups wearing 20lb weight vest

2 minute rest

Max set of dead hang, chin over bar pull-ups wearing 20lb weight vest

10 minute rest

1 mile run for time wearing 20lb weight vest.

I did it today for fun! My results:

Swim: 13:33
Push-ups (strict form) 38
pull-ups (strict form) 8
run (hated it) 9:52

Couldn't wait to get that vest off. Anyone else want to try this? :)
