    HMS Raleigh Fitness Tests

    Hi All,

    Just wondering, when are the fitness tests at Raleigh carried out. I understand that the 1.5 mile run is in the first week, is this correct? When are the sit-up and press-up tests done?

    I have heard many conflicting arguments regarding what happens if one fails these tests. Is it then remedials or a discharge? I'm sure I will be fine but the concept of discharge is terrifying!

    Thanks in advance,

    Jack!

    Do you think you'll have problems running 1.5 miles in the required time?
    No?
    Then don't worry about it, enjoy it, take it as a big adventure (The Training as a whole that is.)
    Don't sweat the small stuff.
    It takes 72 muscles to frown...but only 4 to raise a middle finger.

    1.5 Mile is the day after you sign which I think is your 3rd day. If you fail you'll get remidials untill you pass. The PTB Is in wednesday week 5, you have 2 or 3 attempts, if you fail you get put on a 4 weeker in stonehouse to get you fit.

    Is it true that if you fail the fitness test you get put on the 4 weeker in the stonehouse ?
