Physical Fitness at the Basics

[kartik]

Well Guys I am back. I was really frustrated the way my background check went that I had to use this forum to burn that frustration out. In fact after my posting I had a nice talk with an army officer over coffee. I went to the CSIS interview and the CSIS officer explained me in details the need and the diiference between various checks. I thank another member AmmoTech to answer my frustration. Anyways long story short, I am sorry to have hurt guys here.

I went to the CSIS interview and as promised by the CSIS officer, I got my answer within 2 weeks. The answer is "I AM RELIABLE FOR CANADIAN FORCES" HA. I have my interview and medical for direct officer entry. I changed my jobs options from army to navy. Any tips for interview and medicals.

Secondly, I have a question for physical at Basics. It has 4 components 20m run, hand grip, sit ups and push ups. Now there are a few combinations given on the website saying that one has to have threshold on fitness. What are the threshold fitness to continue? I am good at push ups and confident of 20m. I have diifculty in situps and hand grip. I can do just 5 situps and around 35kgs on hand grip. Please advice if I pass 20m, pushups, hand grip and fail situp will I continue with Basic or go on PAT ar discharged?
