The PT test for your red card is a joke. A 3 mile walk with 45lbs in 45 minutes. It's nothing. The job is MUCH harder, especially if you are on a badass crew. You want to be on a badass crew.
You should be able to walk 20 miles faster than 3 mph with full gear and be ready to workout immediately after. 5 minute mile, 20 pullups, you want these types of standards.
You need a good point of view. You will get hurt. You will feel pain. You need to know how to process that and keep pushing. Training often gives you the confidence and the knowledge of your body and helps you do that.
