RAF Fitness Test - Soon to be twice a year!

[MOVAGAIN]

Minimum Fitness

I have not read all the threads so appols if alreasy covered, From what I have read, the main stream seems to be if we should be doing the test, how often and what level at. My problem is this: if the point is to get the entire Service to a level that is fit to fight then why don't we do that ie all get to one single level. If CAS wishes that, then it should be irrespective of age and gender and based on a minimum level- otherwise the whole concept if false. The police, fire and ambulance Services have a minimum level irrespecitvie of age and gender, why can't we? The fact is, if we are all suppposed to carry out the sme task in Iraq / Stan, then we should all be expected to reach the same level of fitness? Or, as usual, am I missing the point?
