Help answer the question about Physical Fitness
Do you think state-mandated school physical fitness tests are for military drafting?Physical fitness tests have no effect on your grades and go straight to the state. If they begin drafting in the military, don't you think they would pick the people who perform best at these tests.
The US school system isn't good at promoting either mental or physical health, but thanks for the answer.

Health related fitness is not just for athletes. Keeping fit helps your immune system, your cardiovascular system, Your brain function. You don't have to train like an Olympic competitor to derive these benefits; however by all means try to do something to keep fit. You will without a doubt live a more productive life and reduce greatly a number of lifestyle related diseases.
Find something you can get into. Hiking, swimming, Tai Chi,
there are many things to keep you motivated find something.
Any agency that will potentially hire you will mandate you pass a physical agility test. They will also send you in for a comprehensive physical exam. Reason? Because for you to be covered by the local pension plan, you can not have any existing pre-employment defect that would prevent you from preforming your duties and put them in a position of liability.
As for underweight. You need to carb up as much as possible. Lots of fruits, pasta, rice and moderate exercise.
Maybe also see your doctor and express your concerns about your weight and see if they can recommend diet supplements that are safe and effective for your needs.
It wasnt whoever is teaching you this garbage should be fired.
"Physical fitness is a general state of good physical health."
just relax. Eat a good healthy meal. Get at least 8 hours of rest. In the morning eat some oatmeal, plain, that way you can get some carbs into your body. Don't drink milk otherwise it can curdle and you will get sick.
Are you a Marine? (nod your head) then you know if it's pretty decent. You need to look up the specific programs for becoming an Officer, and find out what they require and think about how it relates to you…or better yet, talk to a career planner on your base. There are 8 different officer programs to get you to OCS, and you need to find out yourself instead of asking on yahoo answers, most of these people don't know that, and no disrespect at all to Former Marines, but regulations are changing for those things, and someone who doesn't actively see the changes won't intentionally steer you wrong, but might not know things have been updated. I had to go from website to website to find anything that I thought might have been credible, and in the end, I still don't trust what I read online, because most of them give a necessary ACT score of anywhere from 40-45, and I took the ACT as one of the smartest people in my class and got a 26, not to mention the smartest person I've ever met only got a 36! So what I'm saying is ask someone who WILL know the answers, not people on here who MIGHT know the answers, because this is too important to just ask on forum.
Semper fi,
Im not an fbi agent but i would assume that similiar requirments are in the marines vs fbi…because quantico is home to training for fbi,cia, and the marines, more specifically intelligence marines and scout sniper marines..hope this helps
Once you are hired, most departments have no formal programs.
Some have thier own gyms, and some provide discounted memberships, but it is up to you to find the time to go.
There are a few departments that have annual physical fitness tests, if you pass you get a bonus. However, participation is voluntary.
The two go hand in hand.
Your body will effectively suffer for your mental stress, as when you stress you release cortisone, which depletes muscle and fitness gains.
However, fitter people are usually calmer (not always) and have better circulation, allowing them to process the stress and its physical effects.
Nothing you can do to avoid the physical activity of the military. It is their job to be in shape. Would you want a man that can't run without being winded to defend this country?? No getting around it either. Suck it up, and look into the benefits you'll have from it.
