If WW3 kicked off, and you were forced to enlist, do you think you'd cope?

I 100% wouldn't.

I've looked at the army website and the fitness levels they require alone are way above my baseline level (out of breath when running up stairs Grin)

I'm very small and weigh 6 and a half stone, so would probably be a liability to my fellow troops.

How do you think you'd fare?

Weirdly I recently looked up the fitness requirements to see if I'd pass and tested it in the gym. Was chuffed that I did (not sure I understood the mid thigh pull but can deadlift that weight) also found some old push up, pull up and press up requirements, so gave them a try too. However I'm 39 so not sure I'd be an ideal conscript. However would be happy to do ANYthing else. Thank you so much to all the posters who are forces families, you are all truly amazing and we should all be grateful for the sacrifices you all make.
