  Is our IPPT standards too high or too low? Anyone have other armies criteria for comparison?
  
  i guess comparison between asian countries would be fairer?

  One must bear in mind that we are a largely conscript Asian army when comparing fitness standards between armies.

  To join the Russian Spetnaz, one of the test is to be able to do pullups 18 times with a 10kg weighted attached to you.
  
  For the US secret service, they see how many times you can snatch a 24kg kettlebell in 10 minutes(trust me, your heart in this ones pounds 10x harder than running).You can alternate arms and catch your breath inbetween if you want.
