It's three miles in under 28 minutes on flat ground for the minimum required score, so nine minutes per mile pace will get you there comfortably. This is along with 4 pull ups or chin ups, and a one minute ten second plank.
I think most of us under 28 years old could achieve that if we trained for it, it's not like joining the Navy SEALS or anything like that.
If you are diligent and smart enough to train to get your run time and fitness to that point youre likely diligent and smart enough to pass an easy military test.
The people who are trying to join are not that and thats what im trying to point out.
Not disagreeing with you at all, but I wanted to add that I can say from personal experience that if you are serious about joining, recruiters will literally train you to make the minimum standards. Idk if all of them will, but I had gone to a handful, and a couple had potential recruits running laps around the building.

Yeah but theyre probably not going to bother if youre also an asvab dud
There is a reason my countrymen are often called "amerifats".
