JTF-2 Canadian special forces physical fitness test. Could you get perfect?

[VAPump]

You don't just jump into SF right away. You have to be a Ranger first or a regular army soldier, then get recruited to Special Forces. Or maybe you were a Ranger, even though they are considered Special Forces, I don't consider them even close to Army Special Forces or Delta. LOL @ becoming a Green Beret, aka Special Forces at 17. FAIL

No. You are a moron.

Google 18X.

Google Rep63.

Rangers are not Special Forces. They are Special Operations Forces. YES there is a difference.

Get the fuk out. Thanks.

[oneshotGG]

In my prime I could max pushups and situps, probably get about 16-18 pullups, 1.5 mile run in about 8 minutes. And I'll be damned to do the math (even though i think I only have to multiply by 2.2 haha), but at that point I could probably 1RM 225 pounds.

all that consecutively without rest? that'd be impressive

[Averydabeast]

disagree

I have a 450lbs bench right now.. I weigh 270lbs and can still do the pullups, and close to the situps/pushups (I get around 55 of each, dont even train them)

Only thing id need to train a ton for is the running, which im sure I could do, especially if I lost weight.. and keeping a 350lb bench would be easy

No one can run a mile and a half in 7:30 and also bench 350.

[lazi]

As someone who has worked with these guys and seen them train, its the mental thing that is most important....the physical is just a pre-screening, then they drop you out of helicopter, make you climb ladders and throw you out of c-130 cargo planes at night into water and make you swim backwards, they will not let you sleep and break you down mentally, thats why only about 5-10% of those who get past the fitness test make it to the group.

These ****ers are ripped, and the fittest one i saw was a blonde woman who had calves that were massive...they would run day or night for practice after a full 10 hour day of training on the range or kill houses.

Their vehicles are civilian style leased with no military markings or plates, they dont use their real names even on military base and will never be seen in a uniform unless its with a fake nametag.

wait srs? woman in sf??

i think that 18x thing is similar to a program im seriously contemplating applying for when they open some spots up

[fuuuuuuuuu]

a 1.5 mile time is hardly a huge 'endurance' feat.. i think its very possible.

What Special Forces were you then?

[VAPump]

What Special Forces were you then?

Is this a real fuking question? THE ONLY ONE THERE IS. Army Special Forces are the only Special Forces. Everyone else is Special Operations Forces.

You have clearly got to be a troll. Nobody is this dumb.


Oh, and 5'2", 180? LOLOL

[jwlee7ucla]

I dont think it would be possible for any human being to score perfect on this test. The run is what would kill me.

JTF-2 is canada's awnser to seal team 6.

Below is link to scoring chart







http://www.cg.cfpsa.ca/cg-pc/Winnipe...lter(SOA).aspx

i got an 88 on everything else. can't run. proooooooobably can't beat the swim either.

[OntarioGuy]

lol, OPSEC but based on kit I'm going to guess GB.

In a supporting role as a member of CANSOFCOM sure, but never on a team. Same in US-JSOC I'm sure.

Found this on their Myths page:

http://www.jtf2-foi2.forces.gc.ca/mr...eng.asp#myt-03
Myth 3 - JTF 2 does not accept female applicants
Answer - Any Canadian Forces member, irrespective of gender, who completes the JTF 2 selection process and is deemed eligible for service may be given an opportunity to serve with the unit. The standards established for selection and employment with JTF 2 are scientifically designed and validated at the Canadian Forces Dwyer Hill Training Centre in order to ensure that the members selected will be capable of accomplishing all tasks assigned to the unit. These standards are not gender specific and encompass the individuals’ physical abilities, professional skill sets, integrity, psychological profile, mental aptitude, discipline, and maturity. These standards are not just used for selecting new members, they are maintained throughout the unit and are ingrained in the JTF 2 ethos.

[pummel]

To get perfect would be amazing.

To be able to bench 350 lbs but still do 78+ pushups and 24+ pullups is insane.


I don't know how I would do on the run or on the sit ups but on the pushups I would probably get a 20 to 23, the pull ups a 23 to 25, and the bench press an 18.


Edit I don't really know how to swim so that might hold me back.

i bench 355 and can do over 100 consecutive pushups, dat dere training pushups with 3 plates on your back

couldnt do 24 pullups tho at my weight atm..jesus fuk

on a side note i calculated it and id assume id get in the 115-120 range

i ran an 8 minute 43 second 1.5 mile when i was 16 and im a little faster now than i was then so maybe in the 8:20 range aka a 22-23 on this test

i can get a score of 30 easily for the pushups, maybe around 55-65 situps (not sure ive never done this) aka about 20 pts, i can do about 13-14 pullups aka 19-20 pts, and bench 160 for another score of 30..but if this is right after the pushups id probably more bench around 140kg aka 26

total of (roughly) 118

[IanPhelps]

Score wise i could make it, not sure if they have asthma disqualifications though.

[scENFORCER]

hmmm maybe, I dont know anything about the military tbh.. but I need a job that provides me some excitement.. all my friends that are in the Canadian military dont do anything (besides training)?

Go be an LPO. Good experience, can be exiting (but awfly boring at times to, I'll be honest), and depending on where you work it can be good money.

[mikeditka]

a 1.5 mile time is hardly a huge 'endurance' feat.. i think its very possible.

I seriously doubt ANYONE on misc is benching tree fiddy and running 1.5 in 7:30. Bro.....lettuce beef cereal...a 7:30 1.5 mile is smoking fast if you're benching ANYTHING over 235


I always love these running time threads, I think there is more bull**** than any other fitness-related topic.

EDIT:
I'm smoking the pull-up, push-up, sit-up as well....with even minimal REST. But, when is the last time I went for MY FASTEST 1.5 mile followed IMMEDIATELY by my push-up, pull-up, sit-up max?

brb dying of heart attack

[FeelTheFear]

fast edit, sorry brudda gotta do it:

I phucking love you

I got neg trained yesterday and you just undid it all and then some.

[InfinityThor]

FYI you can apply directly to Special Forces in Australia, I believe it's been a success.

They changed it a few years ago because people that REALLY wanted to be in Special Forces didn't want to enrol general entry and into a 4 year contract just for the CHANCE of making it to SF.

So if you're really awesome and your entire goal is SF, you go take the tests straight up and if you fail you are under no obligation to join and if you succeed you're good to go.

[permabayne]

Minus the swim, I had to meet those standards to get out of police academy. Not too bad if you work up to it.

[lildave]

this is the misc. many of us who lift could probably be considered in the top 1% fitness of the population. its not that far fetched

Doesnt really matter when like someone said all this stuff is done right after each other..
From the sounds of it you go
1) swim
2) Run the 1.5 mile
3) Do push ups
4) Then sit ups
5) The pull ups
6) and then once you have done all that you gotta do the bench press

The stuff you said you could do you most likely wouldnt be able to do cuz you would be so burned out by the time you got to them.

[combatdepth]

You don't just jump into SF right away. You have to be a Ranger first or a regular army soldier, then get recruited to Special Forces. Or maybe you were a Ranger, even though they are considered Special Forces, I don't consider them even close to Army Special Forces or Delta. LOL @ becoming a Green Beret, aka Special Forces at 17. FAIL

I'm pretty sure he meant you can enlist @ 17 into the military, not direct SF. I enlisted at 17.

To the OP, I don't think I could. I suck at swimming. I love the Canadian dudes though. They're cool as ****. Talked to one a little last year.

[johnfo]

In my prime I could max pushups and situps, probably get about 16-18 pullups, 1.5 mile run in about 8 minutes. And I'll be damned to do the math (even though i think I only have to multiply by 2.2 haha), but at that point I could probably 1RM 225 pounds.

finally someone gives a realistic eval of themselves. i read all the posts before this, and any 270 person that thinks they can run a mile in even 8 mins is out of their mind. when i was in i was running my 2 mile around 13:30, and i was one of the faster guys out of Soldiers that ran every day (combat arms). get real guys...you can't run nearly as fast (or do as many PERFECT pushups or situps) as you think you can. have someone actually in the military judge you...

edit: and as for pullups...PERFECT form guys. i can only do 13-15...again...get real

[coolguy91]

very confident i could pass the test but perfect on everything? fuk no

[etkillah]

I would hit about 21's across the board except for the run probably. But then again, I don't know how long I have to rest in between workouts. In which order I would be doing them.

If I have to do them all non stop with no breaks what so ever, score is gong to be much lower.

[RealAesthetic]

my stamina is ****, I wish.

[Renan]

lulz at people thinking that running at 1:15 for 6 laps and benching 350 is an easy task...they are easy if done independently...but together? That is world class right there...maybe there are a few world class decathletes out there who can do it...
the pull up, situps and pushups are by far the easiest test.....24 pull ups may seem a bit intimidating, but achievable in 4 months of good practice...

[thisisian]

Serious? What kind of ***gy time joint task force, special forces bullsht does canada run? BRB having physical requirements so low you'd have women fighting for number 1 spot in the squad. Please, if any of you can't get a perfect in this, you are a typical miscer who doesn't even lift.


Not serious, i'd be lucky to even be halfway on that list.

[VAPump]

I'm pretty sure he meant you can enlist @ 17 into the military, not direct SF. I enlisted at 17.

To the OP, I don't think I could. I suck at swimming. I love the Canadian dudes though. They're cool as ****. Talked to one a little last year.

I'm pretty sure, and by pretty sure I mean sure, that you can not only enlist at 17, but get an 18X contract, which allows you to go straight into SF (so long as you pass selection).


I like the part where he put all sorts of other words into my mouth, though. Never said I "became SF" at 17. I didn't even get MOS-Q. You go to basic training during summer vacation between grades 11 and 12, then finish high school, then go back for AIT.

Beyond that, I didn't even originally enlist into SF. I started in a different MOS and cross trained.

Dumb motherfukers 1) don't know what they are talking about, and 2) assume way too much.
Also funny of that dumbass to assume that if I was frauding, that he would be the one to expose it. Gee, it's not like I've been a member of the board for almost 5 years, met many other military guys from it, even served with them. No wait, they must be in on the fraud. It's a conspiracy.

Yes, jimmies are rustled.

[Scitehtseye]

you do NOT have to do them all consecutively with little to no rest

read #11 on the 2nd page. that being said, still a fukin hard test to ace

thats the plan
