           Female  RUN: 21:00-31:00  FLEXARMHANG:15sec Crunch:same

Answer 2

Well i'm not sure about all the other one's but I enlisted in the Marines, so I can tell you about that.

Before you go to bootcamp, the physical requirements for men and women are different.

It's required that women run a mile and a half in 15 minutes, while males have to do that run in 13.30 minutes.

The crunches are they same for both 44 in two minutes.

And the pull up requirements are 2 for men and you must do the flexed arm hang for 12 seconds for women.

Personally I think the Marines is great, and is an awesome oppurtunity for anyone, so I would reccomend them. I've talked to all the branches of the military and I just found the Marines the most interesting, but it's different for everyone.  The Marines may not be for you, so i'd talk to a recruiter from each branch and decide, because it's more of a personal choice, but from what I heard this is the levels of easiest to hardest.

The easiest branch is the airforce.

Then the Navy.

Then the Army.

And the hardest is the Marines.

Just from the physical requirements.

But some special programs in branches are harder than other in different branches.

I'm enlisted and I do plan on enlisting again.

But if you are planning on enlisting, it's a good thing to do!

Probably the best thing you could do in your life. I wouldn't listen to everyone who will tell you you're stupid for doing it.

It's making a self improvment, that no one can do for you but you.

I would say go for it, and if you are going to enlist then Congratulations on making such an important decision!

But if not, then it's still good to be exploring your options!

Good luck! :)

Answer 3

From hardest to easiest physically-demanding-wise:

Marines

Army

Navy

Air Force

Depends what you're going to be doing. Navy and Air Force don't have an infantry, they're not going to have to be as in shape.
