Read a copy of the Stn Cdr's brief here at Bzn and that is pretty much what it said, though there is talk of a tougher test as well.

The current test is rubbish, particularly in its inflexibility. The way that sit ups are done are bl**dy dangerous so I refuse to do them as I have a very dodgy lower back. I have been told there is no other exercise that can be used for that part of the test..... what utter rubbish. The fact that I am in the gym 3 time a week at least and do other sport is irrelevent as far as my "fitness" is concerned though. Yet, we have chaps here who are horribly over weight, have no idea what a gym is and nothing is done.

The whole system is cr@p and always has been.
