Pretty sure the SF fitness requirements might be a little higher than the above mentioned post

SF enlistment requirements are reasonably accurate although it’s 10.1 on the beep and 40 push-ups. Things change at the barrier test/pre-selection.

None of that has anything to do with Babcock’s requirements. They’re all about swimming and carrying 15kg. Anyone even thinking about a rescue tech role would breeze them in.
