Getting into the Army

Since I know that I a lot of you are interested in joining the army I thought I started a mini series on how to get in, tips for interviews and things like that. 

So the first thing I'm going to talk about is fitness. This is a big that I know a lot of people don't actually take into consideration but it is really important. 

There are different tasks that you must complete and there is different categories that I'll list below. 

SOLDIER

If you go to an Army Development and Seletion Centre (ADSC) there will be a number of task you must complete:

• 1.5 mile run with in a set time limit (different regiments and corps have their own requirements, ranging from 9 mins 18 secs to 14 mins) 

•4 exercises assessing your strength, including the upper body and lower back 

OFFICER 

You will have to complete a staged fitness test that will contain several different tasks; such as the bleep test. This will be held at the Army Officer Selection Board (ABOSB)
