Honestly, you folk with your "penalise the failures" attitude
Think positive. The RSAF (that's the singaporean variety!) take an annual personal fitness test (a mile and a half or so) and have various levels of achievement.
"Fail" leads to remedial PT for said individual at least 4 times a week until required standard is met.
"Bronze" level is the basic pass, wonderful, fit for duty well done.
"silver" level is a quicker time than "Bronze" and said individual is rewarded for his/her attitude towards his personal fitness with $100 of your finest singaporean beer chits.
"Gold" is a quicker still time (the level required for this is pretty good, around the 9min 15 mark) and results in $200! Now that's incentive to get fit... especially if you're doing the test twice a year
