Could some of you either post or e-mail me the standards and frequency of your departments PT tests for your department SWAT(SRT, Tac Teams,etc).

Come on guys, I would like to know so that I can compare it to what our team PT standards are going to.

[Swat1]

Tactical uniform with boots wearing 35 pound flak vest - run 100 yards to 5 foot wall, over wall, run 10 feet to a 15 foot culvert, crawl through culvert, out of culvert to 15 foot monkey bars, must touch first and last bar, off of bars to 8 foot chain link fence, over fence, then through a mock window, come out under window then to 6 foot wall, over wall to a 200 lb dummy drag, drag dummy for 15 feet, get to 15 foot line then run 1/4 mile in sand and gravel, return from 1/4 mile run and do the whole thing over again, except after dummy drag go over to 30 foot balance wall walk (walk on top of a balance beam for 30 feet), when your feet hit the ground your' time stops. You must complete this in under 6:45 (that's minutes and seconds fellas). Tryouts get a ten minute break and then must climb a 75 foot ladder to the rapel tower touch the top, come back down and climb it again, then rapel down.

Push-ups: 2 minutes (timed)
total CORRECT completed X 2= points. (maximum points awarded at 50)

Sit-ups: 2 minutes (timed)
total completed (arms folded across chest) X 1.25 = points (maximum points awarded at 80)
