    Is that to get through MEPS or what the minimum PT standards are to stay in the Marines?

    For the Army, admittedly 20+ years ago, so long as you passed the criminal background check, the drug test, and the medical check by the time you got through the MEPS station it was assumed that Basic Training would be where you'd do the physical training to meet the minimum fitness standards.

      PT standards for Marines minimum. But even bare minimum is hard in US the obesity rate leader, not factoring in height and weight.

      The medical stuff has gotten way more complicated and they can track anything that was reported to a hospital.
