Well done Big Buck, don't worry about the run. Like me your built for fast sprints and 3 miles is actually a hard run when your being tested. Our test is over 3.2kms which is 2 miles, my pass times for a minimum military grrade 4 standard is 17mins for the run, 25 push ups and 25 sit up, nothing really hard, but at grade 4 we can't go on to do alot of career course's etc. After this part one we have a 12 mile march in full CEFO (Combat equipement fighting order) less weapon over mountainous terrain in under 3 hours, thats hard !. Or you can opt for a 10km ( 6 mile) march also in just day patrol pack in under 90 minutes. Another test we have at the end of alot of combat course's is 'Fit to Fight', basically it an untimed 30 mile hike again over the mountains in CEMO (Combat equipement Marching Order) including weaponsand ammo for a full infantry company, so that includes light and heavy support weapons, light mortors and anti armour weapons and all their ammo. At the end of the hike you've to 'put in' successfull company, platoon and section attacks against 'the enemy' !. This idea came about after the Brit's landed at Goose Green, Falkland Islands and marched over the Island to cature Port Stanley. So there you go lots of info there for the military buffs on the board.
